INNIG
With INNIG, Canadian pianist Meagan Milatz offers an immersion into the deeply introspective world of German Romanticism, centred around one of Robert Schumann’s most fascinating works: Kreisleriana, Op. 16. Recorded on an 1835 Conrad Graf fortepiano from the Chris Maene Collection in Belgium — very similar to the instrument owned by Clara and Robert Schumann in the late 1830s — the album brings together works composed between 1835 and 1839 by Robert Schumann, Clara Wieck, and Frédéric Chopin.

Grétry : L’Amant jaloux
This new interpretation of Grétry’s L’Amant jaloux brings together the Arion Baroque Orchestra under the direction of Mathieu Lussier, a leading figure in the early music revival in Canada. Surrounded by an exceptional cast—including sopranos Magali Simard-Galdès, Hélène Guilmette, and Guylaine Girard; tenors Pierre Derhet and Artavazd Sargsyan; and baritone Matthieu Lécroart—the ensemble restores the full vitality and modernity of this work, in which humor, tenderness, and dramatic tension coexist with finesse. Produced in collaboration with the Centre de musique baroque de Versailles, this project is part of an effort to showcase the French operatic heritage of the 17th and 18th centuries to today’s audiences.
