The double album, written for the 40th anniversary of The Martian Chronicles, consists of 3 large musical pieces (suites). Each of the three is related to an A.I. story. The stories are also the band's creations, projecting the future imagined with A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) from different perspectives.
The Hungarian formation Solaris was originally founded by some school friends in 1980. The band's name was derived from the title of book by SF writer Stanislaw Lem. After they made impression on a talent contest at The Budai Park for a massive crowd (mainly youth) the band was offered an opportunity to make a record.

If the Piano Concertos Nos.19 and 23 are among the most famous in the corpus, it is of course because of their sublime middle movements, but also because they reach the very heights of Mozartian subtlety in terms of orchestration, thematic development and dramatic instinct. The historically informed performances from Kristian Bezuidenhout and Freiburger Barockorchester take the same interpretative approach as earlier volumes in the series, underpinned by an utterly luminous musical discourse.

“Blackhole” will be released on classic black vinyl and CD for the very first time. The album’s contents and final track listing have been widely speculated since its conception in the early 00’s. After nearly two decades of anticipation, Adams is now ready to unveil the official release of Blackhole. Featuring “Catherine”, heard only in live performances, alongside previously unheard material, Blackhole captures the raw, unfiltered emotion that defines Adam’s songwriting. The shelved album, first demoed in 2006, became heavily bootlegged, with fans circulating low-quality recordings and snippets from live performances, fueling a demand for the album’s official release. This long-awaited, full-length album not only satisfies years of fan speculation, but also reclaims a crucial moment in Ryan Adam’s history.

The Young Schumann, the new release by British pianist Charles Owen, is a musical narrative of Robert Schumann's early career, featuring works written in the 1830s when the composer was in his 20s. His first two published works, Abegg Variations and Papillons, the impetuous six Intermezzi, Op. 4, and the characterful Carnaval, Op. 9, are all fuelled by some of Schumann's compositional hallmarks: his imagination and attraction to the fantastical, his love of ciphers and cryptograms, and his frequent quoting of each work within the others.

Fathers, gods, philosophers, emperors, sorcerers … The bass voice is typically used on the opera stage to convey nobility and authority. Although it often represent the resting and pivotal point of an entire opera, and its depth, power, and softness were regularly highlighted already in the Baroque period, bass singers are usually not the focus of attention. In this recital specially tailored for Nahuel Di Pierro, the bass voice, accompanied by the Ensemble Diderot, takes center stage. Through a journey across 100 years of opera history, the program showcases the range and brilliance of compositions for this voice. With his spectacular vocal range of two and a half octaves, Nahuel Di Pierro interprets the great arias from Seneca's death to Polyphemus from Handel's Aci, Galatea e Polifemo with exceptional sensitivity and mastery. And it wouldn't be Johannes Pramsohler and his Ensemble Diderot if the program didn't also include some spectacular new discoveries.

This is a work tailor-made for a choreographer, and once again I am struck by how visually Kverndokk composes, and with what agility.The source of inspiration here is stated by the composer himself: it is a tribute to Leonard Bernstein, inspired by maestro Bernstein’s symphony “The Age of Anxiety”.But what is impressive and fascinating is this: despite the nod to his hero in his themes that touch upon scenes in “West Side Story, such as “Mambo” and “The Rumble”, it is Kverndokk through and through, and not Bernstein.When all is said and done, I would like to quote Stephen Sondheim, who also wrote the lyrics to “West Side Story”, and the protagonist of his musical, “Sunday in the Park with George”: Finishing the hat, mapping out the sky! That is always what it’s about.The work was written during the pandemic, but it would be inappropriate to associate it with this period, for the dramatic scope of the work is larger than what the lockdown of the country gave us.

DJ Paulão (Sao Paulo) compiles this great document on samba rock from the golden years of Brasilian music (1966-1978). This compilation gathers two influences of alternative Brazilian musical references - Samba Rock and Brazuca. The focus begins in the mid sixties through to the late seventies, from the decline of bossa nova until the explosion of the disco scene. The Samba Rock movement, as related to black urban culture, goes back to the origins of the DJ in Brazil, particularly in the São Paulo banlieue in the mid-fifties.

Part three of the B-Sides and Rarities set is fronted with some quite bizarre sleeve work and contains quite a few rare live numbers which Gabriel fans will thoroughly enjoy. The opening Here Comes The Flood with Robert Fripp is a stunner and there are two good remixes, firstly of Sledgehammer which is maybe even better than the original, and In Your Eyes. Two of the live tracks I mention were taken from 1983 and performed with Steve Hackett and Mike Rutherford. Another essential utility bootleg instalment.

A companion album of sorts to 2019's My Songs, Duets collects 17 duets Sting has recorded over the years. Some of these tracks appeared on soundtracks, some were included on albums by his duet partners, others – including "September," a song recorded with Zucchero that makes its debut here – trickled out on compilations. Collectively, these duets showcase Sting The Polymath, a cultured and worldly individual with an ability to synthesize his diverse interests into smooth, jazzy, mature pop. What's striking about the compilation is how a roster as diverse as Eric Clapton, Shaggy, Mary J. Blige, Annie Lennox, Herbie Hancock, Sam Moore, and Julio Iglesias doesn't sound especially eclectic; when the common denominator is Sting, all the guests adapt to his particular ways.

The latest instalment of Grapefruit’s popular year-by-year overview of the British rock/pop scenes of the 70s. Featuring big hits, intriguing misses and key album tracks from 1974 as well as a clutch of alternative versions and unissued-at-the-time gems. Although 1974 was dominated by the country’s crippling economic woes, the British rock and pop scene continued to flourish. The more creative element of the glam rock spectrum inspired a host of new bands, with Cockney Rebel, Be-Bop Deluxe and Sparks coming through to establish themselves alongside genre heavyweights Roxy Music, T. Rex and Slade. London’s pub rock circuit saw stalwarts Brinsley Schwarz joined by early Ian Dury outfit Kilburn & The High Roads, Ace (who scored a hit single with the timeless ‘How Long’) and Dr. Feelgood, whose aggressive attitude and slashing, guitar-based brand of tough R&B influenced a whole new generation of musicians.
