What new releases are you looking forward to?

I'll start the ball rolling...
Bunch of Queen albums are coming out on vinyl.
Max Richer's new work, called "Sleep", is an eight-hour "lullaby" (no wonder it's taken him so long to compose and record it). You can buy all 8 hours of it, or an hour-long version (the latter also on vinyl).
But it is released on Thursday, and starting at at 8pm local time (wherever you are, apparently, although I don't know how that works), you can listen to it streaming, fall asleep to it, and then let them know what your dreams/experience was. All by going here:

If you do not know Richter's work, it is modern classical, with the merest whiff of minimalism and no fear of modern technology (sampling, keyboards etc). Daniel Hope is a monumentally good violinist, regulator collaborator, and much of Richter's music is written with him in mind. Try this for a taster:

Interesting concept, while I will not listen 8 hours....
Yoja Wang - Ravel Piano Concertos - fall this year
In ten days..
I already mentioned before that Glenn Gould would be remastered and would also be available in high res. Just wanted to call out to everybody who is interested to wait until the USB stick with the connected book is coming out. Otherwise you are going to get it all through the normal download side and pay much more - as they only offer right now a per album download.
Glenn Gould Remastered – The Complete Album Collection – USB Edition
Glenn Gould Remastered – The Complete Album Collection – USB Edition refurbishes Gould’s complete approved studio recordings using state-of-the-art Direct Stream Digital (DSD) technology in a 78 albums limited USB-edition. The 404 page digital book includes complete original liner notes (many penned by Gould himself), a wealth of facsimile documents, rare photographs, full discographical information, and a newly commissioned introductory essay by Gould scholar and biographer Kevin Bazzana.
Available later this year.
