The album establishes Feng as the first Chinese violinist to have recorded all six of Bach’s Partitas and Sonatas, regarded to be the pinnacle of the solo violin repertoire. It is also Feng’s third solo release after Solo and Solo 2. Feng says of the album: “Bach’s solo works have always been a part of my musical life … and I started recording these masterworks… to pay my tribute to the greatest musician of all time.”

Ning Feng – Elgar & Finzi : Violin Concertos (2018)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:11:05 minutes | 1,36 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Channel Classics
The Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra has played Edward Elgar’s Violin Concerto in B minor, Op. 61, many times, but the work gets new dashes of flavor here from Chinese violinist Ning Feng and Mexican conductor Carlos Miguel Prieto. Regardless of your reaction to them, this release from Channel Classics is worth your time for the inclusion of the delightful little Violin Concerto by Gerald Finzi, which did not have its premiere until 1999. Few recordings are available. The blame for the work’s suppression lies with Finzi himself, who considered it an imperfect youthful effort. Perhaps the middle movement lacks the concision of the other two (this was his objection), but it’s an exceptionally attractive little neoclassical work, and Finzi was 26 when he wrote it, no teenager. Sample the vigorous hornpipe rondo finale. In the Elgar, Feng studiously avoids the work’s reputation for sentimentality, and one could wish for a bit more expression to be applied, say, in the lower register at the beginning of the first movement. The slow movement is ethereal, however, with Prieto keeping the energy moving in an even flow and Feng handling the abundant technical challenges with ease. You may favor his interpretation, and with the Finzi you will be getting in almost on the ground floor.

FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 02:01:42 minutes | 1,32 GB | Genre: Industrial Rock
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Columbia
“It’s grand and disquieting, creepy and meticulously realized, minimalist and overstuffed. It’s one of the best albums of the year and NIN’s finest work since at least 1999’s The Fragile.”
–Allison Stewart, The Washington Post, September 2, 2013
…Hesitation Marks is more electronic than 2008’s muscularly strummy The Slip; the opening of the most classically NIN track, “Copy Of A,” is pure acid techno. Reznor’s vocals come from down a hole, an inch away from the speaker or the fifth ring, toying with the listener’s sense of personal space as always. But this time when that closing piano tinkles in, it sounds peaceful, not ironic.
–Kerri Mason, Billboard magazine
Hesitation Marks is the eighth studio album by Nine Inch Nails, and their first release since 2008’s The Slip, and the first release on a major record label since 2007’s Year Zero. This is NIN’s first release on Columbia Records. The album title is a reference to hesitation wounds, which are produced by testing a bladed weapon before inflicting self-harm or attempting suicide. This deluxe edition of Hesitation Marks was mastered at 48kHz/24-bit and has a greater dynamic range than the standard edition (Note from HDTracks).

“Conclusion. Shadows on the cave wall.” ~NIN.com
“On Bad Witch, Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross conclude the conceptual narrative arc started on 2016’s Not the Actual Events and continued on 2017’s Add Violence… Bad Witch reveals itself as the most cohesive and enveloping experience of this period. As Reznor noted in interviews, Events focused on self-reflection and self-destruction, while Violence searched for answers from a broken world. Bad Witch concludes that we’re the problem and humanity is doomed. That nihilistic blood courses through these six songs.” ~Allmusic.com

Nina Simone – The Essential of Nina Simone (The jazz Diva best tracks) (2014)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © BnF Collection
Nina Simone has penned unforgettable protest material, covered jazz, folk, rock, and pop with equal flair, and created a body of work that’s kept her popularity high. While this title is hardly accurate, since it only covers RCA material from 1967-1972, there’s plenty of anthemic fare among The Essential Nina Simone’s 16 selections. These include “Mr. Bojangles,” “To Be Young, Gifted, and Black,” “Seems I’m Never Tired Lovin’ You,” and “Since I Fell for You.” While the absence of “Baltimore,” “I Wish I Knew How It Feels to Be Free,” and “Here Comes the Sun” (to name only three) is sizable, and the weighting of this compilation toward well-known rock types (Bob Dylan, Randy Newman, Jimmy Webb, George Harrison, two Bee Gees cuts) debatable, there’s still no way it can be dismissed. ~ Ron Wynn
