Serú Girán released a "safe" album full of pretty ballads, almost abandoning their progressive tendencies of their past. It's a shame, but it's still a good album, just not very adventurous and having a disproportionate amount of soft songs.

We see here a second classic (overall, it is a third great one from the band, I only contest, a bit, the value of the debut) by Serú Girán and the leading idol Charly García.

Initially panned by both the public and the press, Serú girán gradually won the Argentine people and became a historic album and the beginning of Serú Girán, the Argentine Beatles!….

Die Aufnahmen von Bach-Kantaten mit Christoph Spering und seinen Ensembles Chorus Musicus Köln und Das Neue Orchester für Deutsche Harmonia Mundi erhielten weltweit sehr gute Besprechungen. Die Aufnahme aller Bach’schen Lutherkantaten zum Reformationsjahr 2017 wurde sogar mit einem ECHO Klassik ausgezeichnet: »Es ist eine in vielen Facetten neuartige und stets gut überlegte Produktion geworden.«, »Spering wirbt durch unaufdringliches Understatement umso eindringlicher für diese Stücke.« schrieb die Presse.

Canadian pianist Alain Lefèvre has long championed the music of pianist-composer André Mathieu (1929-1968). As a child prodigy, Mathieu caused a sensation as ‘the Canadian Mozart’ in New York and Paris (where he studied with Yves Nat and Arthur Honegger), but he eventually died in poverty at the age of just 39. On this album, Lefèvre and fellow pianist Hélène Mercier play three works written by Mathieu in the 1940s. “André Mathieu’s music it has its own place in the history of composition,” says Lefèvre. “It has been described as Romantic, and obviously was out of step with its own age, but does that really matter today?”

Puss N Boots-the charming trio featuring Norah Jones, Sasha Dobson, and Catherine Popper- release their second full-length album, Sister. Sister is a fetching collection of originals written by the band members collectively and individually, mixed with loving covers of songs by Tom Petty ("Angel Dream"), Dolly Parton ("The Grass Is Blue"), Paul Westerberg ("It's a Wonderful Lie"), and Concrete Blonde ("Joey").

With her new programme "L'amour, la mort, la mer" Patricia Petibon flies freely from one register to another, from one language to another, and from one style to its exact opposite. However, she does base her repertoire around her own personal journey. This is what grants her seemingly eclectic style the consistency of an unparalleled performance. It is less a recital than a story that unfolds from one composer to the next—a secret story of grief, travel, and solitude. In this way, she echoes the idea underpinning Saint- John Perse’s poem, Amers: “The tragedians came down from the quarries.

“From Beethoven’s extensive oeuvre of variations, I have selected four works ranging from the first to the last composition for solo piano for which Beethoven created variations on an original theme. Thus the wide-ranging Eroica Variations Op. 35 find their place alongside the compressed and downscaled Variations in C minor WoO 80 and the Variations in G major WoO 77 which were created as a piece of occasional music.

With this new album the New York City blues inventor is back in force to celebrate his career of 30 years.
