We know him as epic, modernist, excessive, melancholic, operatic, post-Romantic. But just before entering adulthood, Strauss entrusted to the piano some often intimate and delicate thoughts, which know what they owe to his heroes of the moment. Guillaume Bellom sketches the young man at his keyboard, as heir to Beethoven, Schumann and Mendelssohn.

Amsterdam drummer Eric Schuijt takes on the role of his great role model Buddy Rich. With a new big band, which swings in the style of the drum legend. The American jazz drummer Buddy Rich (1917-1987) is still unsurpassed. This applies to his energy and technique, but also to the way he managed to push his big band to great heights.
Eric Schuijt has been intensively studying the style and techniques of Buddy Rich for years. In his big band we recognize musicians from Ploctones, Cubop City Big Band, Nueva Manteca and Jong Metropole. The program features works by renowned Buddy Rich arrangers such as Don Menza and John LaBarbera.

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © A.MA RECORDS
A.MA Records’ high quality Jazz output continues with Unaware Beauty, the new album from the Bruno Montrone Trio. An album that fuses straight Jazz with new interpretations of standards and Montrone’s original compositions, Unaware Beauty pulls strands together and weaves a fine cloth. An Italian/US collaboration of musicians Bruno Montrone on piano, Giulio Scianatico on double Bass and near legendary Joe Farnsworth on drums. It is perhaps the latter name that will ring many a bell with New Yorker Joe’s previous works touring with the likes of Horace Silver, Lou Donaldson, McCoy Tyner and Pharaoh Sanders and a veteran of over 100 recordings as leader and sideman. Bruno Montrone is a young pianist who is somewhat of a prodigy with a performance and recording CV that belies his young years. Similarly Giulio Scianatico has built a huge reputation for himself in Italian Jazz, not least with his playing on Enrico Le Noce’s Social Music album also released by A.MA. Joined by guests New Yorker Sarah Hanahan, a graduate of the Jackie McLean Institute and of Juilliard, on Saxophone and Sarah Grittani on vocals, Unaware Beauty is an album that can be best understood in the context of its bold improvisations, impeccable swing and blend of the contemporary with nods to the greats that came before. Try to listen to the title track Unaware Beauty featuring Sarah Grittani’s haunting vocals and the innovative interpretation of Harold Mabern’s Edward Lee which is given a fresh and invigorating take, not least with Sarah Hannahan’s breathtaking Sax solos and you’ll see what we mean.

Karol Anbild was born in Katowice on February 16, 1925, into a miner’s family. His father, an amateur musician and a member of Silesian brass bands, was his first teacher of music. Karol attended a primary school in Piotrowice until 1938, but the outbreak of World War Two deprived him of the opportunity to receive a solid education, including in music. As a boy of 15, he was deported to Schweidnitz as a forced farm labourer. Having escaped from there, he enrolled at the secondary music school in Katowice in order to avoid another forced labour deportation. In 1943, however, he had to suspend his education again. Mobilized into the German army, he was sent to France, from where he escaped after the invasion of the allied forces. He joined the Polish Armed Forces in the West and was posted to Scotland. It was there that he started his artistic activity, giving concerts for soldiers with his own ensemble.

Adam Walker, Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra & Edward Gardner – Nielsen: Flute Concerto, Symphony No. 3, Pan and Syrinx (2024)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 01:02:52 minutes | 756 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Chandos Records
For this second instalment in their Nielsen cycle, Edward Gardner and the Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra are joined by the flautist Adam Walker for a programme that combines the Flute Concerto, the Third Symphony, and the tone poem Pan and Syrinx. Nielsen began work on the Third Symphony in 1910, some seven years after he had completed his second symphony ‘The Four Temperaments’, and the work was premièred in Copenhagen in 1912. In his album note, Paul Griffiths describes the work’s eventual title, ‘Sinfonia espansiva’ as a fifth temperament – Joviality. In the second movement, uniquely in his symphonic output, Nielsen calls for (wordless) voices – solo soprano and baritone. It was also the first of his symphonies to be commercially released on record – Erik Tuxen conducting the Danish Radio Symphony Orchestra. Composed in 1926, the Flute Concerto is a late work, and demonstrates Nielsen’s stylistic evolution towards the new modernism. The soloist engages in repeated interactions with other instruments within the orchestra, most notably the clarinet and the bass trombone. Pan and Syrinx dates from 1918, and is based on the ancient legend which tells how the amorous god Pan invented the pan flute whilst pursuing the nymph Syrinx.

Digitally remastered edition of the British Pomp Rock band’s 1975 album. A Night At The Opera, named after the Marx Bros film, is widely acclaimed as one of the greatest albums of all time. Exceptional on every level, musically, lyrically and artistically, Queen took the strongest elements of their previous two albums to make the ultimate winning combination. The most expensive album ever recorded at that time, it delivered Rock, Opera, Heavy Metal, romance, ballads, Pop, sci-fi Folk, music hall, Trad Jazz and even the National Anthem. The album contains perhaps the most famous Rock song of all time, ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’, which went on to spend 14 weeks at #1. Queen also recorded the first official Pop promo for ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ as they were on tour and could not appear on Top of The Pops and this video paved the way for MTV and VH1.

Los Angeles, 1965: Blues enthusiasts Alan “Blind Owl” Wilson (1943-1970) and Bob “The Bear” Hite (1943-1981) together with like-minded musicians found Canned Heat. They name the band after the title of a 1928 song by bluesman Tommy Johnson about a fuel containing methyl alcohol, also referred to as “canned heat”, which is misused by alcoholics as a substitute drug. In 1967 drummer Adolfo “Fito” de la Parra who is still a member today joins Canned Heat, while otherwise the band has seen a lot of personnel turnover in the course of its history. One year later Canned Heat’s successful hit single “On The Road Again” makes them popular worldwide. Following this chart success they have further hits with “Going Up The Country” (1968) and “Let’s Work Together” (1970). In August 1969 Canned Heat are part of the line-up of the legendary “Woodstock Music & Art Fair”. Apart from band albums such as their eponymous debut LP from 1967 or “Boogie With Canned Heat” from the following year they are featured on collaborations with genre greats such as John Lee Hooker (“Hooker ‘n Heat”, 1971), Clarence “Gatemouth” Brown (“Gate’s On The Heat”, 1973) or Memphis Slim (“Memphis Heat”, 1974).

Under the direction of Keno Weber, the Quilisma Jugendchor Springe presents the first complete recording of Gabriel Fauré’s (1845–1924) sacred works. After completing his academic education in 1865, Fauré was primarily active as a church musician and worked at the parish church „La Madeleine“ in Paris from 1877 to 1905. Almost all of his sacred works were written during this time, including his well-known Requiem. The voices of the young singers of the Quilisma Jugendchor provide insight into how the music may have sounded in the 19th century, performed by the boys’ choir at „La Madeleine“ under the direction of the composer himself.

Quartet Base is a long-lasting formation. For 18 years now, Sebastien Beaumont has been writing a music that relies on the trust set in between the musicians. Based on the inmost, this new repertoire releases a deep, tensed, but sometimes funny and mischievous proposition. Texts, melodies, climates and sound memories are so many materials to a narrative and expressionist music.

The new album of the Rosamonde Quartet, featuring the classics of Haydn and Beethoven.
Haydn may not have been the author of the very first string quartet in history, but he created the so-called Viennese model of this kind which quickly established itself throughout Europe and served as a cornerstone for all those who, until today, have composed for this instrumental formation.
In the history of this Viennese lineage, Beethoven plays a very special role since he was a pupil of Haydn. However, if he received from the hands of the one who was called at the time “Papa Haydn” 1st torch of the quartet, he made it shine in such a personal way, made it evolve so radically and the door so high that with him we witness a second birth of the kind. The disc of the Rosamonde Quartet judiciously combines one of Haydn’s last Quartets Opus74 No. 3, his 59th, dating from 1792-1793 and Beethoven’s Opus 18 No. 1, which is in fact the second he composed.

• ‘biophilia live’ is a concert film directed by peter strickland and nick fenton and produced by jacqui edenbrow that captures the human element of björk’s multi-disciplinary multimedia project: biophilia. recorded live at björk’s show at london’s alexandra palace in 2013, the film features björk and her band performing every song on ‘biophilia’ and more using a broad variety of instruments – some digital, some traditional, and some completely unclassifiable. the film has already been hailed as “a captivating record of an artist in full command of her idiosyncratic powers” (variety) and “an imaginative stand-alone artwork” (hollywood reporter) and is a vital piece of the grand mosaic that is ‘biophilia.’
“There are not many artists who can combine the lifecycle of a jellyfish with a breakbeat and make it work. But this is an extraordinary piece, perhaps more an opera, where Björk and drummer Manu Delago are at their virtuosic best. It’s utterly bonkers yet moving – especially a strange love song set to a mutating virus. It should be mandatory viewing for anyone about to dam a glacial river to facilitate aluminium smelting.” –The Guardian
“a dazzling audiovisual spectacle that benefits from the full cinematic treatment . . . Heavenly constellations billow across dark sections of screen above the stage, sometimes engulfing Björk like she is some kind of gargantuan space goddess. . . . there are some gorgeous emotional depths here too, especially when the swooping harmonies of [the accompanying all-female Icelandic chorus] are given full rein.” –The Hollywood Reporter

“The finest string quartet, unquestionably, that our century has known.” In 1951, when the Quartetto Italiano first visited the USA, composer Virgil Thomson’s was enthused: “Perfection is the only word to describe this playing.” The quartet’s members, who had met while studying in Siena, made their ensemble debut in 1945. They went on to enthral audiences around the world with interpretations of proverbial beauty, insight and architectural elegance.
In this remastered programme, the legendary group presents works from Italian classical composers Baldassare Galuppi, Luigi Boccherini & Giuseppe Cambini.

Historical recordings: The ensemble’s confidently-chosen name made it clear from the outset that the Quartetto Italiano saw itself not simply as an Italian string quartet among many, but as the authoritative one. The ensemble was soon recognized as a pioneer of Italian chamber music culture following the Second World War. Through their tireless obsession with detail, in-depth exploration of the works’ musical expression, and the remarkable homogeneity of their quartet sound, the Quartetto Italiano conquered a firm place in the top league of leading string quartets over the first two decades of their career.
