Paavo Järvi released Ship of Fools on Alpha Classics celebrating Estonian composer Jüri Reinvere. His collaboration with Paavo Järvi began in Pärnu, the birthplace of the Estonian Festival Orchestra, in 2016. The album is inspired by the key phrase of a 16^th century novel: Mundus vult decipi, ergo decipiatur (The world seeks to be deceived, therefore let it be deceived).

Pianist Bertrand Chamayou and Soprano Barbara Hannigan unite to record the vocal music of Messiaen, presenting his two major song cycles from the 1930s in Messiaen on Alpha Classics. Hannigan and Chamayou delve into the composer’s complex language to reveal a natural and flowing music, whose roots extend from the earth upwards to a shimmering realm.
