Is it the full six books, Jules, or just the first two as in that Spotify link?

A message from Khatia B ... “Labyrinth” is out. I’m lost in it, lost in my mind, lost in the music. But the voice you hear is the voice of a human being – my voice, your voice. I hope you see me through your eyes, as your own reflection. You may love it, hate it, be indifferent or neglect it. In any case – this album is my love letter to you, personally written for you. ♥️  |

New St John Passion from Masaaki Suzuki.
His St Matthew won lots of plaudits so I would expect this to be very good.

There was a gushing review in Gramophone for this new recording of Mahler songs.

Not so keen on his symphonies but I'll listen to the Symphonic Dances.

Rach 3 is one of my favourite symphonies, but I love the Dances too ...

The Dances sound wonderful. Very natural recording in 24/96.

The Guardian goes big on Zimerman / Rattle -
"In this battle of a week, you may have missed the peerless, witty playing of Krystian Zimerman, soloist in Beethoven’s Five Piano Concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra, conducted by Simon Rattle, pre-recorded earlier this month, streamed over three nights on DG Stage and due out as an album in April 2021: as great conjunctions go, this one dazzled."
Krystian Zimerman ★★★★★
