Pianist Young Hyun Cho, who has been praised by Aachener Zeitung (Germany) as “…a blessed interpreter of Beethoven…,” brings her impeccable technique and expressive depth to these four early period sonatas.

Blue Griffin Recording is proud to present The Haydn Project: Live from Michigan from Camerata Michigan and conductor Tigran Shiganyan. The two-disc recording features Franz Joseph Haydn’s (1732–1809) Sinfonia Concertante in B flat Major, Hob. I:105, Piano Concerto in D Major, Hob. XVIII:11, Violin Concerto in G Major, Hob. VIIa:4, and Cello Concerto in D major, Hob. VIIb-2. 

The live recording comes from a concert on Monday, October 6, 2025, at the Fairchild Theater at Michigan State University as part of the Cello Plus Festival. The concert was highlighted by Joseph Haydn’s vibrant Sinfonia Concertante, a rarely performed work which blends symphonic elegance with the intimacy of a concerto. Conductor Tigran Shiganyan leads the Michigan State University student ensemble, Camerata Michigan, alongside soloists Yvonne Lam (violin), Deborah Moriarty (piano), Suren Bagratuni (cello), Michael Kroth (bassoon), and Nermis Mieses (oboe).

On May 15, Blue Griffin Recording releases Wide Grey Skies: Edna St. Vincent Millay’s poetry through song from soprano Amalia Osuga and pianist Aimee Fincher. Wide Gray Skies is a portrait of Edna St. Vincent Millay (1892-1950) through songs inspired by her poetry. The songs, which span almost a century, present an incredible variety of styles and set texts from every era of the poet’s life. From unpublished gems found in archives that were composed during Millay’s life to bold and bombastic 21st century compositions, including eight world premieres, each song has its own unique story. 

On May 1, Blue Griffin Recording releases Instruments by award-winning composer and keyboardist Michael Rosin. Instruments features a collection of world premiere recordings of works inspired by “instruments” of antiquity. Whether calculating our position, telling time, or simply resonating, each of these instruments have been used to make sense of our existence and understand our place in the universe. 

On April 24, Blue Griffin Recording releases Strings Intertwined by the ConTempus Quartet. Strings Intertwined celebrates the ensemble’s 10th anniversary.
