• NEW  Katja Maria Werker - CD

Singer-songwriter, musician and author Katja Maria Werker is now on Stockfisch with her new album. "Mitten im Sturm" is a richly facetted album – squally periods followed by intermittent calm, the rise and swell of the waves:

Katja Werker's own compositions; fresh, energy-laden pop songs ("Crossfire"), some English and German folk; notably a Peter Gabriel classic from the Seventies ("Here comes the Flood") not to mention an awe-inspiring rendition of the German hit pop song "Über sieben Brücken musst du gehn"). Each of the album's tracks is unique, and all are highly authentic; personal in the literal sense of the word.

 • NEW David Munyon - CD

Sit back, enjoy and soak in this special listening experience with „goose-bumps“ guarantee! David Munyon sings many extremely personal, deeply touching love songs with his very intense voice – a voice which gets right

under your skin, and these songs could not have been arranged and instrumented more sensitively or suitably: among others by Lutz Möller on the Fender Rhodes, Ian Melrose on guitars, Hans-Jörg Maucksch and Grischka Zepf on basses.

 • NEW  AYA Audio Check - SACD

The AYA - “Are you Authentic“ is an association whose members are dedicated to the aim of providing an authentic musical experience in cars. “Are you Authentic“ campaigns for “real” and “natural” sound reproduction.

Together with Stockfisch Records they developed this SACD, with which the sound of (car-)hi-fi systems can be critically judged, and which therefore allows the most objective possible comparison of different systems. These tracks – some newly mixed, others specially recorded for this SACD – were selected to optimize sound systems if necessary.

 • NEW Michael Schlierf - SACD

Michael Schlierf startet playing piano at the age of 5. As an enthusiastic aficionado of instrumental music - this can be felt in the music of his compositions - that language that begins where words start to fail.

Stockfisch now releases an SACD album with 14 of his pieces - besides the piano there are playing string quartet, oboe, flute, harp, but also saxophone, guitar, bass and drums …

 • Allan Taylor - SACD-Maxi

During an exposition in Munich Allan Taylor happened to get to know Dieter Burmester. Dieter told him about the sound system that he had designed for the new Porsche Panamera. It was then that Allan told Dieter his story of why he had bought a Porsche

and that he had written a song about the true story behind. For this reason Stockfisch recorded together with Dieter Burmester and Allan a five track MAXI containing also the song "A Promise and a Porsche"

 • NEW Allan Taylor - LP

Stockfisch releases another Vinyl-LP as start of a new series: IN THE GROOVE. Allan Taylor comments: "I thought the vinyl format was finished. However, since I have been recording with Stockfisch Records and working with Gunter Pauler

I have become used to the supremely high criteria the work to, so when they suggested that we choose a few songs of mine from our catalogue for a release on vinyl I thought it was a great idea."

 • Carl & Parissa - SACD

Carl Cleves & Parissa Bouas, come from Australia. Their fame Down Under is considerable. Parissa's angelic voice comes close to an invitation; that is, one from water nymphs and ancient dwellers of the woods of

mythology. Carl's warm voice and his guitar-playing make sure that the angels stay in safe contact with Celtic folk tradition. Their new album on Stockfisch is called "Out of Australia".

 • Sennheiser HD800 SACD-Maxis

Sennheiser Germany and also Sennheiser Asia had the idea to feature a reference SACD for their brandnew reference headphone HD800. For that purpose both of them selected their favourite tracks from the Stockfisch repertoire.

 • BCQ - children's songs SACD

After their "first impressions" the Blue Chamber Quartet (vibraphone, piano, harp, double bass) has recorded the complete set of 20 "Children´s Songs" by Chick Corea. The famous American jazz piano virtuoso and composer had

commented on his work that each melody was singular and it was for everybody to receive these beautiful little works of art, try them and appreciate them. So BCQ´s vibraphonist Thomas Schindl, percussionist for the Vienna Symphony Orchestra, arranged Corea´s musical miniatures for his quartet. release Dec 7, 2009. More…

 • Sara K. - solo live

 • NEW The Greater Good - CD / LP

THE GREATER GOOD is a trio consisting of artists Eugene Ruffolo and Dennis Kolen, both of who have previously published albums on Stockfisch.

And that is a sound to behold.

Listeners who experience these artists for the first time as THE GREATER GOOD will enjoy these ten mellow, yet catchy tracks with their captivating vocal harmonies and intricate, rhythmic guitar work - such musical master craftsmanship is what it takes "If It's Feeling Fine". Also available as audiophile 180g-Vinyl-LP.

 • NEW Vinyl Collection Vol.2 - LP

We compiled the tracks for this Vinyl-Collection Vol.2 following the established criteria of the „closer to the music“ compilations: On one hand we want to offer samples of current Stockfisch albums,

on the other hand we would like to give a sneak peek on our future CDs.

This LP is released as audiophile 180g-Vinyl-LP cutted with Stockfisch´s inhouse Direct-Metal-Mastering cutting lathe..

 • NEW Sara K. - LP

The vinyl-LP normally has two sides – and Sara K. presents two sides of her musical artistry!On the one side we have her impressive and very convincing (solo) live concerts, where she fascinates her audience solely with her unique voice and her almost fragile-

sounding accompaniment on the 4-string guitar. On the other side there are her beautiful studio recordings, where a whole range of musicians complement her pieces with an endless palette of musical styles, instruments and ideas. We want to document these two sides of her work on the 2nd release from the new Stockfisch in the groove series.

 • NEW Beoga - SACD / LP

Stockfisch releases another album from their LIVE AT STOCKFISCH STUDIO series - this time an Irish band had visited Northeim: "Beoga".

 • Ewen Carruthers - SACD

A new album by Ewen Carruthers is a thing worth waiting for! Now it's here – they call it One Red Shoe. Seems like an old friend to us. Melodies dance like dappled sunlight on ground covered with golden autumn leaves.

October wine – that's how lyrics grow. Down-to-earth, yet reflective; almost old-fashioned, they are bound to warm the heart – taking the direct approach to the soul of the matter. And more of this slide guitar please!

 • NEW Allan Taylor - blu-ray/DVD

Outstanding projects need their time. Finally, we are proud to announce the release of the documentary film "The Endless Highway". We filmed at various locations which had been important in the artist´s life of Allan Taylor: Brighton, London, Brussels, Amsterdam, Paris, concerts, recordings …

Allan about this film: "What we aimed to do was to make a film about a travelling troubadour, how he gets his ideas for songs, how he writes songs, how he plays the concerts and how he travels from city to city - we wanted to show the lifestyle of a singer-songwriter." Released as 2disc set (blu-rayDisc + Standard DVD).

  • Sara K. - made in the shade

Now available: the long awaited new album from Sara K.: The SACD is called made in the shade and will contain a CD-Hybrid layer, DSD stereo sound and DSD Surround Sound. This last album is surely one of her very best, maybe it is THE best. The album’s 12 tracks are a quite delightful mix, with one song especially outstanding in its beauty: „made in the shade“, devoted to Sara K.‘s fellow artist and kindred spirit Chris Jones who died in 2005.

In addition we´ve released this album as pure audio blu-ray disc, the brandnew format! The common audio standard of blu-ray players and the features of their

BD-remote offer simple operation without a TV screen - just as simple as a normal CD-Audio, but with audio streams in oerfect high-resolution. SACD and blu-ray available in the SF-Shop!

 • Sara K.: water falls-Playbacks

Another brilliant idea from the Stockfisch studios: During the mixing sessions of Sara K.´s CD "Water Falls" we created so-called playbacks - instrumental versions without Sara´s leadvocals, partially including the backing-vocals. On the Sara K.-Nautilustour we used these mixes as soundtrack before the concerts -

and got a surprising responce from the audience. Therefore we have released this special CD for a special price: (10,- EUR - plus 4,- EUR delivery costs when ordered individually).

 • Eugene Ruffolo & V.A. - X-mas-CD

Some years ago Chris Jones and Günter Pauler conceptualized the release of a Stockfisch-Christmas-CD. By and by recordings were made and stored - but the project was stopped abruptly by the death of Chris.

Now Eugene Ruffolo has accomplished this project: He gathered his favorite Christmas songs - some timeless standards, and a few unknown gems. Then he sat down and penned a few of his own - discovering that sometimes Even Santa Gets The Blues. And very well that Chris Jones is not forgotten, still playing on two of these recordings.

During the shooting for the biografical documentary film about Allan Taylor´s life and work (The Endless Highway) we´d filmed a complete solo concert in Hoeilaart (near Brussels).
