Low Fi is the third EP by English-French rock band Stereolab, released in September 1992 by Too Pure

With specially made instruments and a range that can emulate that of a whole orchestra, the acclaimed Guitarra a Seis bring us a colorful program that includes works written specially for the ensemble. Opening with a real feast for the ears in Bach’s lively Brandenburg Concerto No. 3, we further encounter the magical moods of Ravel’s Ma mere l’Oye, a blend of Bulgarian folk and modern music from Atanas Ourkouzounov, Tobias Krebs’ jazz-infused Suite Panamericana, and Sergio Assad’s humorous Juan Sebastian’s Bar, which alludes to Bach and Beethoven but is Brazilian through and through.

A daring polar expedition in sound to discover the beauty and terror of a disappearing wilderness.

Bass-baritone Adam Plachetka presents Molieri, a programme of opera arias by Mozart and Salieri, together with the Czech Ensemble Baroque under the baton of Roman Válek. Thanks to fictional works such as the film Amadeus, Antonio Salieri is often scapegoated as the man who allegedly caused Mozart’s untimely death out of professional envy. Despite the fact that this is obviously not true, Salieri’s popularity has suffered from this popular myth-making, and most of his operas have sunk into oblivion.

Navona Records presents SPARKS: EYE OF LONDON, an assembly of original fanfares performed by the London Symphony Orchestra. Drawing from the compositional strengths of today’s composers, the orchestra navigates chaos and order, isolation, and ascension towards triumph through passionate orchestral writing reminiscent of the fire that burns within us. A collection spanning thought-provoking narratives, scenic synesthesia, soothing passages, and the whimsically abstract, the London Symphony Orchestra explores a vast musical landscape of emotions, tackling each with precision and verve.

The six Sonatas, which are often described as 'Trio Sonatas for Organ,' hold a unique place in Bach's oeuvre. In a sense, 'trio' is the most natural organ texture: right hand, left hand, and feet each takes one line of counterpoint. However, in the six Sonatas, the contrapuntal lines are granted a degree of independence that is unmatched in Bach's surviving organ music. Thus, they are atypical of Bach's output for the instrument, and indeed oforgan music in general. The Sonatas are, in effect, 'ensemble music for one player' indeed, several movements originated as actual ensemble pieces.

"… it is great to hear both acts … (King) was still near his peak powers as a vocalist and a guitar player … remains an intriguing and enjoyable collaboration from two of the music’s biggest and most influential acts."

Meyerbeer was a precocious composer and this album traces some of his very earliest works. Der Fischer und das Milchmädchen was his first stage work, a charming rural vignette that contains all the essential features of a ballet-divertissement couched in writing that enchantingly evokes the 18thcentury. Collaborating with his teacher, the Abbé Georg Vogler, Meyerbeer composed DerAdmiralin1811. The following year saw Wirt und Gast with the vivid Oriental exoticism of its Janissary music, while Romildae Constanza, his first Italian opera, shows his complete assimilation of Rossinian models.

The Great Ray Charles is Ray Charles' second studio album for Atlantic Records, released in 1957.

Anniversary Song, Partikel’s new album is released by BERTHOLD records on July 22nd 2022. The line up: Duncan Eagles on saxophone, Max Luther on double bass and Eric Ford on drums. The songs were all composed by Eagles and arranged collectively by the jazz trio, which excels here with its adventurous and virtuosic musicianship.

Adrian Quesada (Black Pumas) presents Boleros Psicodélicos: a celebration of the super funky, slightly delirious and deeply soulful sounds that transcended the cultural boundaries of Latin America throughout the late '60s and early '70s. All twelve tracks were produced, engineered, mixed and largely performed by Quesada with vocals from former Calle 13 member iLe, Gabriel Garzón-Montano, Girl Ultra, Angelica Garcia and Gaby Moreno. Marc Ribot and Money Mark (Beastie Boys) also contribute.

With his new international album, Peace In Africa, Senegalese singer and multi-instrumentalist, Cheikh Ibra Fam adds nuance to the broad spectrum African world music’s rich tradition.

Trio Viret, retour vers le futur Miracle de l’improvisation collective, ivresses des métamorphoses, le trio de Jean- Philippe Viret vient de fêter ses 20 ans et s’invente de nouveaux possibles. A l’image du trio de Bill Evans qui, au début des années 1960, a révolutionné l’esthétique du trio jazz en remettant en cause le principe du solo accompagné, Jean-Philippe Viret, Edouard Ferlet et Fabrice Moreau ont axé leur jeu sur l’écoute, l’échange, le dialogue, l’interplay.

After a series of critically acclaimed projects, sold out headline tours, and billions of streams, Sabrina Claudio confidently projects sensuality, spirit, and soul beyond barriers in her music.
