This 1956 session for Peggy Connelly was one of only two releases from the singer and her only album for Bethlehem. With arrangements by Russ Garcia, Connelly is backed by some of the finest West Coast musicians of the day on this collection of standards, including Charlie Mariano on alto sax, Bill Holman on tenor sax and Stan Levey on drums.

A five-piece band led by guitarist and composer Motohiko Ichino that brings together musical talents from varied jazz careers, Rabbitoo are fast becoming one of the freshest and coolest bands on the Japanese scene. While all the musicians have solid jazz credentials (three have graduated from Berklee College of Music, and different members have played with the likes of Terumasa Hino, Michiyo Yagi, Peter Brotzmann and Ryosuke Hashizume), it's also clear that this group of musicians have musical interests that go beyond jazz, with the album also embracing elements of post-rock and electronica. National Anthem Of Unknown Country is a truly impressive debut and should become one of the year's essential releases.

Australian rising stars of electronica and chillwave Tora release their debut album "Take A Rest", a 15-track tour de force that combines blissfully upbeat dance rhythms with textural, lush soundscapes.

Slade is an English glam rock and hard rock band that has existed since 1966. With 21 top twenty hits, six of them number 1, four number 2 and two number 3, they were one of the most successful British bands of the 1970s.

For her 3rd album Slow Down Fast, Sophie Darly offers a poetry of the ordinary. Composer, co-author and producer, the Franco-Swiss singer evokes the hyper effervescence of the contemporary world and its implications. Inspired by soul, jazz, blues music that she has been singing since her 20s and her trip to Detroit (USA), the universe of Slow Down Fast is subtle, all in restraint, but deceptively wise.

Daniel Barenboim spielte 1982 unter großem Beifall der Kritiker alle Chopin-Nocturnes ein.

Grammy-nominated heavy rock band Baroness returns with their new album "Stone" in 2023.

Playful yet serious, imaginative yet true to the spirit of the originals: Alban Gerhardt and the inimitable Alliage Quintett offer a wholly new perspective on a variety of favourites drawn from the cello’s established repertoire and beyond.

The music of Jan Novák (1921–1984) is extraordinary and remarkable as such. However, this recording puts a kind of stamp of authenticity on it since the solo parts are played not only by pianist Karel Košárek but also by both of the composer’s daughters.

This musical project was born in the very first meeting with Luca Guglielmi, the night before a concert in Geneva when, through the music of J. S. Bach, a sincere human and musical affinity was revealed that needed neither words nor looks. Now, at a distance of a time made fluid by the hours of listening to the tracks, I see that we had met in Bach's profound italianness, in the singing of the melodies that danced in counterpoint, in the rhythmic undulation of his writing, but above all in the composer's human and eternal spirituality.

This CD was inspired by one of Brundibar Arts Festival's themes "Inspirational Women" which lead us to these wonderful Jewish-Dutch female composers who survived the Holocaust.

With Thésée, Christophe Rousset and Les Talens Lyriques continue their tour of Lully's operas, in which they have become specialists. Lully's third musical tragedy, and one of the least recorded, Thésée recounts the hero's youth, long before his battle with the Minotaur or his intrigues with Ariadne and Phèdre. The story takes the listener on a journey through a series of changing settings - from the underworld to the island of paradise, from Versailles to Athens - supported by the incredible vocal eloquence of Lully's music, underpinned by a constant and hitherto unrivalled tension.

"Bringing back vintage rock with progressive influences, THE VINTAGE CARAVAN has proven more than capable of creating their own trademark sound, presenting guitar driven classics merged with blues and rock. After countless high-voltage live performances at festivals such as Roadburn, Wacken and Hellfest, and touring with Opeth, the Icelandic trio presents their first live album, The Monuments Tour, set for release via Napalm Records on October 13, 2023. THE VINTAGE CARAVAN create nostalgic nuances to get lost in, and with their upcoming first live album, they’ve finally captured the magic of their live performances!

"Klavierbüchlein für Wilhelm Friedemann Bach" is a valuable document packed with the teachings of Johann Sebastian, which gives a glimpse of the high expectations of Friedemann, the 10-year-old eldest son of the Bach family. For us today as well, when studying Bach's works, this music book can be said to be a treasure trove of techniques for learning about the performance styles and composition methods of the time. It's not just for practice, it's beautifully lined with highly artistic works, and Marie Nishiyama plays them brilliantly.

Slow Magic presents their third studio album "Float", thirteen icy, epic electronic tracks inspired by the majestic landscapes of Iceland. Vocalists Peter Silberman (The Antler), Kate Boy, Tropics, Toulouse and MNDR sparkle on their features, well-supported by Slow Magic's thoughtful and melodious production.
