New modern classical releases: November 2 – 8, 2026

This week in modern classical, Nils Frahm's vertical piano is now accessible as a Native Instruments plugin, expanding the reach of his distinctive sonic palette. In Prague, Jeanne d'Arc au bûcher by Arthur Honegger returns to the stage, marking a revival of a significant 20th-century work. Meanwhile, the 45th anniversary of Glenn Branca's debut album The Ascension is noted, alongside new attention on Kali Malone's Burning Song. Additional highlights include new releases from Sinsuke Fujieda, Akusmi, Gábor Gadó, Jon Hassell, and a double compilation from Air Texture celebrating its 15th anniversary with contributions from Octo Octa, Laurel Halo, and Oneohtrix Point Never.
