After a hectic summer, we need a rest! In fact, we need some 'Classical & Chill' to help us ease into the cold, winter months. Do you feel the same?

In anticipation that you do, the master of French Impressionism himself, Claude Debussy, is here to lend a hand... or two! Taking the form of relaxing piano suites, violin sonatas and saxophone quartets, 'Debussy and Chill' is the latest album in our 'Classical & Chill' series.

Stream and download 'Debussy and Chill' here.

You can also follow our 'Classical & Chill' playlist on Spotify to hear a selection of works from each album in the series including Mendelssohn, Brahms, Haydn and more. 

Light the candles, blow up the balloons and pop the champagne as we're celebrating!

2019 marks thirty years since Collins Classics was first formed by Pinnacle Entertainment and, to mark the occasion, we've released a brand new compilation celebrating some of the finest classical works in our catalogue. 

Starting with ten of our Baroque and Renaissance masterpieces on Disc 1, moving through some of the most renowned and respected Classical era pieces on Disc 2 and climaxing with the thought provoking sounds of the Modernist, Impressionist and Expressionist periods on Disc 3, our 30th Anniversary album not only offers a historical timeline of the genre, but highlights our label's small yet important part of recorded music history.

So, come and join the party! You can stream and download 'Collins Classics: 30' here.

To celebrate Cristina Ortiz's upcoming 69th birthday, Collins Classics has compiled a collection of the Brazilian pianist's finest performances recorded for the label.

'Virtuoso' not only highlights Ortiz's tender, beautiful and perfectly crafted style, but also reflects the virtuoso talents of the various composers featured on the album including Lizst, Bach and Rachmaninoff.

With frantic highs and haunting lows, 'Virtouso' truly explores the full capabilities of the piano and its master.

You can stream and download the full album here.

Sorry, we just couldn't resist it! But, is there anything better than a good old Classical composer pun? Well, actually, there is. 

Born in 1732, Mr Franz Joseph Haydn was a undeniably a true pioneer of Western Classical and Chamber music. Referred to as "Father of the Symphony" and "Father of the String Quartet", his renowned compositions earned him positions as a friend of Mozart, teacher of Beethoven and the most celebrated composer in Europe.

In homage to this, Collins Classics is pleased to present 'Haydn and Chill'. Celebrating the softer sounds and smoother sides of the great Austrian composer, this brand new compilation is the fifth album to feature in our applauded Classical 'Chill Series'. 

Joining Beethoven, Bach, Mozart and Tchaikovsky, Haydn takes a well deserved seat among some the biggest and best names in our catalogue. 

So, as we say, sit down, relax and unwind with 'Haydn and Chill'. 

But, if that isn't enough for you, follow our 'Classical & Chill' playlist on S...
