Juice Newton (born Judith Kay Newton, February 18, 1952, Lakehurst, NJ) was part of the first wave of country singers raised on rock, folk-rock, and singer/songwriters, which is evident from her hit singles. "Angel of the Morning" and "Queen of Hearts," her two crossover hits, have country-pop arrangements, but their roots are in '60s pop and new wave roots rock, respectively. That's why she managed pop crossover hits in the early '80s and also why she was able to sustain country success throughout the decade.

Huguette Grémy-Chauliac est une claveciniste française née le 8 juillet 1928 à Paris.

Le clavecin, dont elle deviendra une interprète majeure, ne fut pas son premier instrument de prédilection, puisqu'elle étudia d'abord le piano auprès de Blanche Bascouret de Gueraldi, Germaine Willaume, Joseph Morpain, Lucette Descaves et Yves Nat.

Happy Birthday, Monsieur Ravel! Accurate to the 150th Composer birthday on March 7, 2025, Bertrand Chamayou presents an anniversary present of the musical extra class with his solo album Ravel Fragments. On it, the French pianist closes a discographic gap, which he has left conscious in his total recording released in 2016: in the centre are works of Ravel in his own hands as well as chamayous edits, extended to the birthday program by pieces by composers who were inspired by the piano music of their great predecessor.

Aimi Kobayashi, who rose to prominence as a prizewinner at the 2021 International Chopin Piano Competition, has been praised by Gramophone as a pianist who can “rivet the attention through fine-drawn line and hushed dynamics as much as through vivid gesture and brute force”.

Together with its artistic director Julian Azkoul, the United Strings of Europe develop engaging programs with the aim of finding connections between different works and eras, music from different cultures, connecting familiar with new, and encouraging people to listen to works in different ways and discover new repertoire. With "Hommages," the ensemble celebrates musical traditions, from the myth of Apollo and the muses of Greek antiquity to twentieth-century legends, Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla, reinterpreted through contemporary voices.

Alisa Weilerstein and Inon Barnatan present Brahms‘ two Cello Sonatas, alongside their arrangement of his Violin Sonata in G Major on the cello. This Brahms portrait is a logical next step after the duo’s acclaimed interpretation of Beethoven’s complete Cello Sonatas, released in 2022. While Beethoven’s sonatas reveal the gradual ascendancy of the cello as the proper solo instrument over the piano, Brahms opens a new chapter in the history of the cello sonata, realizing a glorious marriage of equals between the two instruments.

Known for his solo hits in the 1980s as well as his hits with the band Smokie in the '70s, Chris Norman is a British soft rock singer with an international following whose career spans several decades.

While his debut album was fairly unsuccessful, his second full-length effort, Some Hearts Are Diamonds (1986), was another story, spawning the international Top Ten smash hit single "Midnight Lady."
