PROJECT XII

The change of seasons and also the change of life with its moods and feelings are behind the sounds of the “XII” project, with which Deutsche Grammophon presents new works by innovative and creative contemporary musicians. “XII” began in January 2019 with the digital release of “Moon Square”, a hypnotic piece for solo piano by Berlin-based pianist, composer and producer Arnold Kasar. The series has since grown month by month with the release of 12 eSingles.DG releases all 12 pieces on LP. These are outstanding works that can compete online on leading playlists of streaming services. On “XII” they offer – beyond narrow genre boundaries – a reflection of the diversity of today’s classical music. The project also reflects the commitment of the yellow label to the new repertoire.
