Milhaud: Brazileira from Scaramouche

Everybody needs an occasional jump-start, but nobody likes getting all jumpy. Most of us want to rev up our energy levels, elevate our moods and boost our productivity – but we want to do it without that strung-out, “wired” feeling that too much actual caffeine can leave us with.

Delos to the rescue – with our new Classical Caffeine album. It’s chock-full of happy, high-energy music by Bach, Mozart, Khachaturian, Tchaikovsky, Shostakovich, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Prokofiev, Debussy and others. Remember, upbeat music has been scientifically proven to make you feel better: it stimulates both mind and body, banishes the blues, refreshes flagging spirits, promotes energy, and leaves you with a smile on your face and a spring in your step.

Combing through our extensive catalog, we have come up with a sure-fire assortment of manic, fun music that’s guaranteed to wake you up and get you going! And these snazzy, snappy performances are sure to please, coming as they do from Delos’ long list of top-tier recording artists and ensembles. It might even save you some money: with fewer trips to your neighborhood coffee emporium, the album could well pay for itself in NO time!

Duo Granat, with Tamara Granat from Poland and Daniel Propper from Sweden, has developed an intensive concert career. 2011 saw the duo giving concerts at the National Philharmonic in Warsaw and touring the Gulf states of Kuwait, Qatar and Bahrain. Their last CD of French music (DUX0739) became highly acclaimed by critics and radio stations, even becoming play listed at Classic FM.

Andreas Blau was a soloist in the Berlin Philharmonic at the age of only twenty and has always been exploring the limits of his flute playing. He and his equally dextrous piano partner Hendrik Heilman deliver with light hand some two dozen great popular favourites from “Greensleeves” to “The Godfather”, in sophisticated arrangements. The CD includes works by Rota, Rodrigo and Rimsky Korsakov.
