Francis Poulenc (1899-1963) is one of the most remarkable French composers of the 20th century. Inspired by many (including Debussy, Satie and his fellow composers of the ‘Groupe des Six’), he found his own formative voice, a unique blend of French cheerfulness and a deep, serious and sometimes melancholic feeling. This new recording presents a successful selection of Poulenc’s piano works: the Trois Mouvements Perpétuels, Huit Nocturnes, Villageoises, Trois Novelettes, the Suite Napoli and two waltzes – music of great charm, seductive, touching and intimate or exuberant and cheerful. The soloist is pianist Chiara Cipelli, whose recordings for Piano and Brilliant Classics with works by Bettinelli and Messiaen have received excellent reviews in the international press.

When news first emerged in late 1989 that the E Street Band had been dismissed indefinitely by Bruce Springsteen, it began nine years of uncertainty and speculation as to when, if ever, they would join forces again. They did come back together to record new material for Greatest Hits in 1995 and undertook a small series of promotional appearances in support of it, but the fact that they parted ways again without touring only made the odds of a full return feel even longer.

Pablo Casals is still considered one of the greatest cellists of all time. But he also worked as a conductor and composer. The Christmas oratorio El Pessebre, which is moderately modern in its musical language and is essentially permeated by song-like elements, based on a text by the Catalan poet Joan Alavedra, was written under the impression of the Spanish Civil War and the 2nd World War. It is a musical memorial for peace and humanity.

Everyday Is The Song is Joni Void’s third album for Constellation and a deeper plunge into emotive audio montage; the Montréal-based French-British producer calls it “Tape Vortex / Musique Verité / Memory Collage”. The album’s raw material relies centrally on a Walkman bought at local record shop Death Of Vinyl in spring 2020 and lost at a Backxwash show two years later, but not before hours of audio snippets were captured and archived.
