Monthly Playlist feat. Anthony McGill
We’re excited to release the McGill/McHale Trio‘s debut album on August 11! Flutist Demarre McGill, his brother and clarinetist Anthony McGill, and pianist Michael McHale come together to bring you Portraits — Works for Flute, Clarinet & Piano. The album features several world premiere recordings, including Valerie Coleman’s “Portraits of Langston” with narrations by Academy Award-winning actor Mahershala Ali. Our playlist this month was co-curated with Anthony and highlights a few of his favorite recordings of himself and his trio mates, along with some of our most popular tracks featuring the flute and clarinet. Stay tuned on release day for new tracks from Portraits, and follow us on Spotify to keep up with all of our exciting new playlists. Happy listening!

Haymarket Opera Company presents early-18th-century master Leonardo Vinci’s rare operatic gem, Artaserse (1730). A prominent figure of the Neapolitan School of opera, whose work influenced composers such as Johann Adolph Hasse and Giovanni Battista Pergolesi, Vinci’s three-act opera seria centers on the Persian prince, Artaserse, who must bring his father’s murderer to justice amidst betrayal, deceit, and mistaken identity.
Cedille Records augments its 2018 release, Notorious RBG in Song, critically proclaimed “an engrossing, episodic portrait” (WQXR) and “vivid and beautiful” (Classics Today) — with a digital single, “On the Joys of Recorded Music,” in anticipation of what would have been Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s 93rd birthday (March 15).
To celebrate our new opera album (3/13 release) Leonardo Vinci: Artaserse (Haymarket Opera Company) we’ve revised/expanded our RBG 90th birthday playlist of her favorite vocal music on Cedille — now starting with albums supported by the Ruth Bader Ginsburg Fund for Vocal Recordings, created in 2022.
