‘Ghost City’ was written over the course of two years, between the bands tours in Europe, Japan and Mexico, before heading to Northern Italy to record it. “We figured it was the same price to record in Italy, so we brought our friend and producer Mark Roberts along for the ride,” says Devin Yuceil (vocals/guitar), “we booked a bunch of shows on the way down which pretty much covered our recording costs, which also meant that we had around a week of playing the new material everyday leading to the studio, a luxury we don’t often have.”

This is Delta Goodrem in 2016 – with arguably the finest album of her career – ‘Wings Of The Wild!’ When it comes to having hits, Delta is a force of nature. By now you have heard the singles: “Wings” and “Dear Life.” To date, Goodrem has earned seventeen top ten singles, fourteen ARIA Awards, a Silver Logie Award, three World Music Awards and album sales in excess of 23 x platinum. In the last twelve months, “Wings” hit #1 on the ARIA Charts and achieved platinum, Delta starred in Cats The Musical as Grizabella, and “Dear Life” achieved Gold status. A multi-tasker, Delta also resumed her coaching duties on the #1 rating show, The Voice. Like all great writer/performers, portions of Delta Goodrem’s autobiography can be found in her set list. The well-spring of Delta’s best work stems from her ability to mix her writing with a dose of her own truth and a fine imagination. While she was writing new songs and recording, Delta was also curating a series of visual images in her countless scrapbooks, that informed the work that finally became ‘Wings Of The Wild.’ ‘Wings Of The Wild’ features the hit singles, “Wings” and “Dear Life,” plus her highlights including “Feline,” “Just Call My Name,” “Heavy,” “The River,” and the new single, “Enough” featuring Gizzle.

The soundtrack comprises the star of the series, Delta Goodrem, performing covers of iconic songs from Newton-John’s career and was released in Australia on 11 May 2018.

Upon announcement, Goodrem said “Having Olivia as a friend for all these years has been such an incredible gift. From a young age, she was an artist I admired and looked up to.”[2]

The album was announced and available for pre-order on 29 April 2018[3] and came with the pre-order duet “Love Is a Gift”, to which Newton-John explains “When we wrote “Love Is a Gift”, we wrote it as a love song. Now, when [Delta and I] sing it, it’s about friendship and love between friends and so it still has the same meaning; it’s just a different time for the song.

When it comes to posterity, Vivaldi has been quite lucky. Thanks to a series of happy accidents, his personal manuscript collection has survived through the centuries, allowing his music to be preserved and later played and recorded. Contralto Delphine Galou and Ottavio Dantone, the director of the Accademia Bizantina, drew from this invaluable batch of nearly 450 compositions to develop this album’s program of sacred music dedicated to the alto voice.

Delphine Galou is renowned and admired for her musicality and her appealing timbre. She has taken part in many productions of Baroque music and recordings of operas (notably by Vivaldi), but this is her first recital. It is a programme of sacred music, motets, cantatas and excerpts from oratorios, which in the course of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries were influenced by the increasingly fashionable genre of opera. From the famous ‘Agitata infido flatu’ from Vivaldi’s oratorio Juditha triumphans, here counterpointed by an aria from another setting of the story of Judith composed by Jommelli, to Stradella’s Lamentations and Porpora’s magnificent motet ‘In procella sine stella’, Delphine Galou covers a wide range of spiritual emotions. She is accompanied by the excellent Accademia Bizantina under its director and harpsichordist Ottavio Dantone. A concerto by Gregori and a sinfonia by Caldara complete this release, which includes several world premiere recordings.

It was when Delphine Constantin-Reznik took up the post as harpist in the Norrk”oping Symphony Orchestra that she first came across the name Anton Pratt’e, well-known in his lifetime as a harpist and composer. Her research into the music and activities of this forgotten master has now resulted in the very first recording of any of his numerous compositions for the harp. Anton Edvard Pratt’e was born in Bohemia into a family that ran a touring puppet theatre. He came to Sweden as an adolescent, and soon made a name for himself, performing music of his own as well as by others. Pratt’e gave concerts across Sweden, as well as in Norway and Finland, and in the 1840s even went on an extensive tour of Europe, performing in Berlin (where members of the Prussian royal family were in the audience), Vienna and Prague. But much of his life was spent in the area around Norrk”oping where he taught the daughters of wealthy landowners and for a while conducted the local orchestra society – the forerunner of the Norrk”oping Symphony Orchestra heard in the Grand Concert which opens the present disc. This is followed by two works for solo harp, both making use of traditional tunes from Sweden and Norway respectively.

In quest of the (Baroque) Indies. The subject, synonymous with exoticism in Europe in the Golden Age, pits Aztecs against Incas on the stage: Purcell died before finishing the music but what he left to accompany this staged entertainment is nonetheless a swan-song of exceptional beauty.

A masterpiece of the ‘semi-opera’. In 1692, on the strength of the immense success of Dido & Aeneas and King Arthur, Purcell went on to produce The Fairy Queen, based on Shakespeare’s A Midsummer-Night’s Dream.

The work is, in fact a ‘semi-opéra’, or ‘opera with dialogue’, in which only some of the crucial scenes are provided with music. But this version of A Midsummer-Night’s Dream by the ‘Orpheus Britannicus’ became almost as famous as the play that inspired it, with its love scenes, its supernatural scenes and its innate sense of musical humour investing it with an irresistible savour and enchantment.

Despite the supreme refinement of their inspiration, Purcell’s songs retain a character of great simplicity, perpetuating a tradition of the English song born with the Elizabethan madrigalists and continuing to the present day, thanks to the door opened by Alfred Deller.

Alfred Deller tirelessly promoted his core repertoire of Elizabethan lute songs and Purcell throughout his career. This recital anthology was recorded at Provence only three months before Deller’s death at Bologna on 16 July 1979.

Some of the most familiar songs here, such as ‘Fairest Isle’, were originally conceived as operatic music for soprano voice but one cannot imagine that Purcell would have minded Deller taking the music out of context, adapting if desirable and making it his own.

King Arthur (1691), like Purcell’s other great scores for the stage, belongs to a highly unusual genre: it is neither a play nor an opera but a hybrid of the two known as ‘semi-opera’.

Alfred Deller’s legendary 1978 recording is one of the benchmark interpretations which introduced music lovers to Purcell’s masterpiece.
