A musical and introspective journey into Wonderland - a place as beautiful as it is uncanny, where the laws of nature no longer apply. Inspired by the classic Alice in Wonderland, Maddalena Del Gobbo embarks on a sonic voyage of discovery into a world where nothing is as it seems. Confusion and despair linger at every turn - and yet, hope remains. Despite all uncertainty and dramatic twists, everything ultimately falls into place, for in the end, goodness proves stronger. The program spans four centuries of music - from Tobias Hume (around 1600) to contemporary compositions - drawing a fascinating arc through time and space.

The Piano Quintet, unusually scored for clarinet, horn, violin and cello, is a product of Fibich's maturity. The Largo is the heart of the work, one of the most richly Romantic slow movements in the Czech chamber repertoire. These excellently recorded performances are near-ideal. The performers provide idiomatic, affectionate readings that fully convey the originality and lyrical assurance of these works.

One of today’s most sought-after operatic basses. His impressive opera ranges from baroque music to romantic bel canto. An accomplished Mozartian and Rossinian bass, he has performed in some of the world most prestigious opera houses and festivals including Aix-en Provence, Pesaro, Glyndebourne, Salzburg, Paris Opera, London Royal Opera House, Zurich Opera House and Teatro alla Scala de Milano.

Adding a very different kind of atmosphere in a King Crimson gig, this piece written by Robert performs a similar function to the ‘vectoring’ undertaken by the 2000 - 2003 iteration of the band. Following Tony’s introduction and Mel’s initial statement of the theme, it’s doubled by Jakko on flute. On this occasion at Brighton, Robert’s twinkling notes and drifting layers would have led directly into The Letters.

Berget Lewis, Candy Dulfer, Edsilia Rombley and Trijntje Oosterhuis are the Ladies of Soul. The Dutch supergroup pays tribute to their favorite pop- and soul music during their annual liveshow in the Ziggo Dome in Amsterdam. The ladies are accompanied by a top notch live band and surprising local and international guest artists like Billy Ocean, En Vogue, Sheila E, Oleta Adams, JT Taylor (former lead singer Kool & The Gang), Sister Sledge and Gwen Dickey (voice of Rose Royce).

If you ever feel the overpowering urge to hear a disc with the best performances of the best music ever written for violin and piano by Czech composers, this is that disc. If you ever feel the overwhelming compulsion to hear a disc with sweetly lyrical, passionately expressive, and deeply soulful music played with unparalleled insight, unmatched understanding, and complete comprehension, this is that disc. The music is truly the best ever written for violin and piano by Czech composers. Smetana's Pieces (2) from The Homeland are charming. Dvorák's Sonatina and Romantic Pieces are heartfelt and instantly memorable. Suk's Ballade and Pieces (4) are works of stunning intensity and staggering expressivity. And Dvorák's transcription of his Slavonic Dance in E minor is a bravura display of nationalist fervor. The performances are the best ever recorded for the repertoire.

This arresting new album presents a major addition to the solo flute repertoire, bringing together the visionary artistry of flautist Noemi Gyori and the intricate, evocative music of composer Sinan Savaşkan. Spanning nearly five decades of Savaşkan’s compositional output, the album explores the full expressive range of the flute—its lyric warmth, its structural clarity, and its capacity for sonic transformation—often in dialogue with subtly woven electronic elements.

Taken from the final night of this European tour, Epitaph makes its stately appearance on the KC setlist after the punchy hoo-haa of Easy Money. Ian McDonald’s Mellotron orchestrations composed in 1969 add to the portentousness of the track and remain a majestic achievement, beautifully rendered here by Bill Rieflin and Robert Fripp together especially on the haunting coda.

Françoise Hardy's Vogue years have marked the history of French and international music. Even today, the five years between 1962-67 remain an exceptional moment in her career, the one when she exploded in the eyes of a generation that was born during or just after the Second World War, the generation that would be part of the May 1968 Paris protests. Hardy exploded not only in France alongside her fellow 'Yéyés', but also internationally where she became the symbol of French elegance, talent and charm: the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, Germany, Italy, Spain… no one could resist Françoise, and she recorded most of her hits in English, Italian and German. 'Tous les garçons et les filles', 'Mon amie la rose', 'L'amitié', 'Le temps de l'amour', etc. are songs that have crossed generations and can be heard in recent movies (Wes Anderson loves Francoise Hardy and has included her songs several times in his films), international television series ('The Walking Dead', 'Industry', 'Week-end family') and advertising spots (Dior 2022 campaign).

The arrival of any new VAN STEPHESON music is met with huge anticipation. This release is just a little different from the norm, but no less exciting or musically brilliant. This is Van Stephenson, but with a little help from his friends. As most will be aware, over the course of the last couple of years, I have been archiving Van's vast collection of unreleased songs and demos. There are more than 500, covering all styles from 70s singer/songwriter, 80s AOR and pop to 90s country… and then some. The ultimate goal is to pay tribute to Van with some form of all-inclusive box set/s. During the course of sorting the archives into categories, a certain number of tracks were found to feature vocalists other than Van. I decided that the box sets should be dedicated to just Van with his songs, so the idea came to put together a separate release that featured these songs - Van's own or co-written demos and the various vocalists used on those original sessions. Hence the title - 'Same Pen, Different Voices'. And while Van's voice may be absent from this release - his spirit and his style are all over it, with some absolute melodic classics about to be launched.
