A Guy Called Gerald
This new piece from iconic UK House pioneer Gerald was performed live (in the Big Room at Real World Studio) from two laptops captured into a Pro Tools HD system with a 24 bit resolution and a 96kHz sampling rate maintained from creation through to capturing the performance.

Berlioz 'Grande Messe des morts'
‘Requiem’, is an exceptionally difficult piece to perform and record, and indeed proved a unique and urgent challenge for Sir Colin Davis, who was 84 at the time of the recording. Sir Colin died on the 14th of April this year (2013) and so this extraordinary performance is, perhaps fittingly, his last recording.

Peter Gabriel
At the height of his fame, Gabriel toured his classic album, So, throughout the world ending in an open-air theatre overlooking Athens. Recorded and filmed over three nights and painstakingly restored, this is the first time the audio has ever been released.

Ravel: Boléro
When the LSO and Valery Gergiev performed Ravel’s Bolero in London at the end of 2009 a recording for LSO Live was a must. Unusually, a video was made too, and here it is. This is an exclusive HD version of the video and has never been made available before.

Jesca Hoop
An achingly lush chamber-folk debut with crystalline harmonies, recorded in the dead of a Toronto winter in a church and the basement of the band's house. The band recommend listening to it in a cozy space with a roaring fire nearby.

Binaural Recordings
Accidental Powercut is a series of gigs commissioned to launch our P5 headphones. Musicians performed acoustically in the surrounds of St Barnabas Chapel, Soho and each concert was recorded binaurally allowing the atmosphere of the music to be recorded for perfect playback on headphones.

Faure Requiem
During the 2011 City of London Festival, Tenebrae choir joined the LSO at St Paul's Cathedral to perform Fauré's Requiem. Favouring serenity, joy and liberation, Faure crafted music of astonishing beauty, in particular the sublime Pie Jesu.

Eric Whitacre
Water Night is the new album from the visionary composer behind the Virtual Choir and follows up his Grammy award-winning album, Light and Gold. The Daily Telegraph, London, describes Whitacre as "that rare thing, a modern composer who is both popular and original."
