“Walking through the door is a whole world, but, in fact, you just have to take a step.” (Jean Anouilh) and this is not the young French pianist Ilan Elbaz did it with courage and passion for his first album “Beyond The Door”.
The creative act is a door that announces an appointment with oneself but also with the unknown, appointments that then lead you to an elsewhere and a fantasized, dreamed beyond that frees itself from reality, the tangible, where our pianist weaves his work on an imaginary piano 2.0 and forges in an augmented alternative reality a work where jazz standards, classical music, rock, Israeli folklore, compositions and improvisations do not rub shoulders or intersect but merge…quite simply.
“Beyond The Door” invites us to let go and also to take this step to immerse ourselves in Ilan’s colorful and bewitching universe which is only fluidity, poetry, energy et…si modern.

Iggy’s 19th solo album and his first to be released via the recently announced partnership between Atlantic Records and Gold Tooth Records, the new label founded by the album’s Grammy award-winning, multi-platinum executive producer, Andrew Watt. The album is an exemplary album of primal rock ‘n’ roll – a master class in the art of lashing out with unequalled intensity and unflappable wit. The result is 11 songs by the man who refused to go gently into that good night on his previous album, 2019’s sombre and contemplative free, and is once again charging fearlessly at life itself on ‘EVERY LOSER’.

D’Indy was a contemporary of Debussy and Ravel, and a pupil of César Franck. Fauré described him as ‘The Samson of Music’ for his multifarious and generous-minded work as a composer, conductor, educator, and propagandist who greatly strengthened French musical culture. With a style essentially eclectic and strongly influenced above all by Beethoven and Wagner, d’Indy particularly excelled in orchestral composition. He drew particular inspiration from his native region in southern France, and formed a body of post-romantic works richly orchestrated, often inflected with folk-like melodies, and employing Franck’s well-known ‘cyclic method’.

Ian William Craig – Music For Magnesium_173 (2022)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © 130701
Prolific Vancouver-based singer/composer Ian William Craig returns with a gorgeous new LP of material comissioned to soundtrack the computer game Magnesium 173. Whilst functioning as a score, ‘Music for Magnesium_173’ is far from being a set of short cues cues or lesser material. Released on double vinyl and digital formats, the record comprises a set of twelve bold and immersive pieces – the majority clocking in between 5-10 minutes in length and totalling 80 minutes of new music. These are anything but passive or reserved background sound-beds though; possessing a genuine weight and power, ‘Music for Magnesium_173’ offers another tour de force display of Craig’s peerless power as an improvising composer able to summon and shape the sublime via an arsenal of modified tape machinery, electronics and his own gorgeous voice, with the results forging a unique kind of choral-based, heavily-abrasive take on ambient composition.

Of the major works of Sergei Prokofiev, none (apart perhaps from Peter and the Wolf) have become so well loved by a wide audience as the ballets Cinderella and Romeo and Juliet. From the stage productions, to the orchestral suites, to the piano versions, many of these pieces are universally recognised.

Ian Hobson – Moritz Moszkowski: Complete Music for Solo Piano, Vol. II (2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 01:18:41 minutes | 701 MB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Toccata Classics
Although Moritz Moszkowski (1854–1925) wrote a considerable quantity of piano music, only a single piece, ‘Étincelles’, made it into the repertoire, not least because Horowitz enjoyed playing it. The early works on this second instalment in Ian Hobson’s survey of Moszkowski’s complete music for solo piano reveal a debt to Mendelssohn and Schumann, but the effortless craftsmanship heard here already justifies a later remark of Paderewski’s: ‘After Chopin, Moszkowski best understands how to write for the piano, and his writing embraces the whole gamut of piano technique’. Most of the pieces in Opp. 15 and 18 are attractive salon miniatures, but the Three Piano Pieces in Dance Form, Op. 17, are extended Lisztian essays that showcase Moszkowski’s mastery of the keyboard and his command of form.

‘Mysterious Shapes and Remembered Rhythms’ is a short series of sketches I dedicated to a mono reel-to-reel recorder sourced from guitar and tongue drum.
‘Rave 83’ was a loop I’d labelled and loved for years but never felt I could develop in a suitable way until sharing it with my friend Stijn who collaborated with me on the track for which I am very thankful.
After listening to the pieces I realised that they sat rather nicely together in their own little unit, but decided that I’d ask another friend to see if they could add their own slant to the recordings. Alex (aka Fields We Found) created a wonderful track from each piece to bring the E.P. to its conclusion in the perfect way.
