Cedille’s Roots: January 2017 Playlist
For the start of a new year, we turn to the label’s roots. Many of
Cedille’s earliest recordings featured solo piano, so our January
Spotify playlist includes one selection from each of our albums that include
solo piano tracks, presented in chronological order of release
(including tracks from 6 of our first 10 discs). Happy listening, and a Happy New Year!

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).
For the first full month of spring this year, an update of our original “Spring & Renewal” playlist (created in 2020), featuring pieces with themes of spring, creation, growing, nature, rebirth, and renewal.
