NOTHIN’ SUCCEEDS LIKE SUCCESS provides an 80-minute glimpse at the behind-the-scenes inner workings of the 1960s pop process. Professional songwriters would toil away during the day in cramped high-rise office cubicles, churning out compositions that they hoped would become big hits. In turn, it was their publishing company’s duty to try to attract attention to their songs. The easiest way for them to do so was in the form of a demonstration recording pressed on an acetate. Sometimes, the writer(s) themselves would book studio time on the cheap and make a quick recording to demonstrate the potential of what a fully-realized production would sound like. If the writer didn’t have the correct voice for the track (or the right anatomy), there were plenty of available session vocalists willing to provide their services for cash. Of course, the name of the vocalist would not appear on the acetate, so all these years later, the identity of many performers remains a mystery. When in doubt, Teensville chose to err on the side of caution –therefore, quite a few of the selections heard here do not have artists listed.

In the years following the World War Two, Japan developed one of the most insatiable, dynamic and diverse markets for jazz. For a crucial period of little over a decade - from the late 1960s to the early 1980s - Japanese jazz culture progressed at an astonishing rate, producing an extraordinary array of artists, recordings and record labels that created some of the most forward thinking and impressive jazz to be committed to tape. This amazing journey is explored on ‘J Jazz’.

The Cleveland Orchestra is the "aristocrat among American orchestras" (The Telegraph), and the ensemble's music director Franz Welser-Most, leads them with verve and precision. These three discs from Belvedere (DVD and Blu-ray) feature six and a half hours of music, presenting a cycle of all the major orchestral works of Johannes Brahms.

The four Toccatas and Fugues require no introduction, including as they do the Toccata and Fugue in D minor BWV 565, one of the most universally famous works in musical history, popularised notably by the cinema, from Monty Python to Fellini’s La Dolce Vita. André Isoir’s classic recording has been the benchmark version for thirty years.

Handels solo keyboard music has for too long been overshadowed by his operas, oratorios, and orchestral music. This comparative neglect seems unjust in view of the considerably large quantity of keyboard music which exists amongst his massive output. There are about 25 suites as well as numerous other single pieces including Fugues, Chaconnes, Fantasias, Preludes and individual dance movements. Amongst the suites there were two collections which were published in Handels lifetime. The Eight Great Suites first appeared in print in 1720 followed by a further six in 1733, often referred to as The Second Collection. There are also a number of miscellaneous suites.

Bellini's rare opera "La Straniera" was created under great time pressure and therefore can not develop the dramatic effect, as does "Norma". Also, the libretto is not the best. Nevertheless, there is a lot of magic, rousing music, so that the purchase is worthwhile especially for the lover. Performance from 1969 benefits above all from a young Montserrat Caballe, who simply gives everything. The sound is not perfect, a bit dull and blurry in the heights, but still audible in any case.
