28 recordings, including early singles with orchestral backing by: Dave Barbour; Jerry Gray; Dick Stabile and Ray Anthony, with whom she had the hits ‘Wild Horses’ and ‘The Hokey Pokey’, as well as 11 great tracks with Les Brown’s Band of Renown featuring superb renditions of ‘The Man That Got Away’, ‘He Needs Me’ (from Pete Kelly’s Blues), ‘Liberace’s ‘Sincerely Yours’, Irving Berlin’s ‘Sittin’ in the Sun’ and the Arlen-Mercer song ‘Hit the Road to Dreamland’.

Through her career Jo Ann Greer enabled many movie legends to sparkle musically on screen including Rita Hayworth, who despite her talent was unable to hold a note.

This is a little treasure trove of rare and great performances from someone who sadly was ‘Hollywood’s secret singing star’.

Debussy in Resonance is an invitation to experience Nature through the universe of Debussy and the sounds of Asia, immersing the listener in an awakening of the senses, where music, imagination and the forces of Nature are all one.

Debussy reinvented the language of music, inspired by Nature and music from East Asia. Following in his footsteps, Joanna Goodale creates her own music blending the piano with gongs and singing bowls. The program will include her compositions and works by Debussy on the theme of water.

«Music is a free art, a springing art, an open-air art, an art commensurate with the elements, the wind, the sky, and the sea!» Claude Debussy.

Joan Martí-Frasquier - Suites - A tribute to Bach’s cello suites (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz] Download

I have often wondered what kind of music would Johann-Sebastian Bach compose if he were alive today and, in this case, what would he write for a such a versatile instrument as the baritone saxophone. Would he create works influenced by traditional music or, on the other hand, he would experience in the rich sound palette of this instrument? As we never know the answer, I thought that the best way to have an idea would be to play his music together with other works of current styles.

Wigmore Soloists – Ferguson, Bliss & Holloway: Chamber Music (2023) [Official Digital Download 24bit/192kHz]

Studio Masters By admin · December 2, 2023 · Comments off

Following their critically acclaimed albums of Schubert (BIS-2597), Mozart and Birchall (BIS-2647), works for clarinet trio (BIS-2535) and, more recently, Beethoven and Berwald (BIS-2707), the Wigmore Soloists now turn their attention to twentieth-century English chamber works which, while eschewing some of the continent’s modernist tendencies, are both deeply personal and supremely written, highlighting the specific colours of each of the instruments. Howard Ferguson’s Octet, a direct and engaging work, was the first of his works to attract attention. Ferguson’s skill is brilliantly demonstrated in this tonally ambiguous work, which takes its instrumentation from Schubert’s famous Octet. The main characteristic of Sir Arthur Bliss’s Clarinet Quintet, like those of Mozart and Brahms with the same instrumental line-up, is its intense, overtly emotional lyricism, but the sunny, extrovert aspects of Bliss’s character ultimately prevail in the brilliantly energetic finale. Robin Holloway’s Serenade in C for octet is the most recent work on this disc, and also features the instrumentation of Schubert’s Octet, which the composer acknowledges as a model. Few contemporary composers display as keen a sense of humour as Holloway who wished here to give “an affectionate twist to tonal common practice and light-music clichés all the way from Biedermeier Vienna to Southend Pier”.
