Gabriele Pieranunzi – Paganini: Music for Violin & Strings (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:16:01 minutes | 803 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Brilliant Classics
Paganini was the first great ‘star’ of instrumental music, the precursor of the rock stars of today, able to induce collective hysteria as well as to dictate fashion and to influence the behaviour of entire generations. He did this by transforming the violin into an orchestra of multiple voices and timbral experimentation, in other words, stretching the very limits of what a single instrument could do.

The Go-Go’s – Vacation (1982/2021)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 36:04 minutes | 793 MB | Genre: Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © A&M
The surprise success of Beauty and the Beat meant that the Go-Go’s were expected to remain hitmakers, so perhaps it shouldn’t have come as a surprise that their second album, Vacation, is a considerably slicker affair than their debut. Sporting a glossy yet alluring finish, the album has an appealing, radio-ready sound, but it’s at the expense of the giddy sense of fun that made Beauty and the Beat such a vibrant record. However, Vacation is far from a washout. Although half the album is padded with filler, the very best moments are terrific pop songs, highlighted by the bouncy “This Old Feeling” and the classic title track.

The Gloaming – The Gloaming 3 (2019)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:10:20 minutes | 1,26 GB | Genre: Celtic, Classical, Medieval
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Real World Records
World renowned Irish American group’s third studio album. The Gloaming is four master musicians and one singer, seemingly suspended in time as their music unfurls around them, its tendrils reaching out into every nook and cranny of the room. It’s undoubtedly Irish music – with violinists Martin Hayes and Caoimhín Ó Raghallaigh, guitarist Dennis Cahill, and with Ó Lionáird, one of the greatest contemporary sean-nos singers. But it’s also more than that: pianist and producer Thomas Bartlett steers the music towards a place where modernity and the old world become one. The heart of The Gloaming remains, but there are touches throughout that signal its points of difference.

Just barely 20 at the time, pianist George Duke made his recording debut with a straight-ahead quartet also including the obscure bass trumpeter David Simmons, bassist John Heard and drummer George Walker. This was one of Duke’s very few all-standards sets, and he proved to be a fine hard bop/soul-jazz pianist; unfortunately, that phase would not last long. Highlights include “The Night Has a Thousand Eyes,” “Jeannine” and “Secret Love.” But by the time the pianist recorded his second date as a leader three years later, this particular George Duke would be history.
