For her second solo recital album for Rubicon, Esther Birringer turns to Debussy with a recital that includes both books of his Images. Composed in 1901-5 (book 1) and 1907 (book 2), the composer was very pleased with Images, writing about the first set: “Without false pride, I feel that these three pieces hold together well, and that they will find their place in the literature of the piano… to the left of Schumann, or to the right of Chopin.”

Esquivel – Latin-Esque (1961/2022) [Official Digital Download 24bit/96kHz]

This album has several musical and historical significant aspects, making it Esquivel’s most desirable. First, it is one of only three or so truly great RCA Stereo Action (“The Sound Your Eyes Can Follow”) albums. The music is deliberately scored for channel separation, but there is more to the stereo gimmickry than the arrangements. Not counting layered-track (multi-dubbing) efforts, Latin-Esque was the first album recorded with total stereo separation — two separate orchestras in two separate studios performed, connected by headphones. The results are fairly fantastic. Latin-Esque also is Esquivel’s first stereo album in the Latin-esque style of his great first album, To Love Again. (“Jungle Drums” from that LP is updated here.) The artist’s jaw-dropping masterpiece of zany pop, “Mucho Muchacha,” is a highlight. “Carioca,” “La Paloma,” and several other standards also were well-chosen for this project. This album was essential to the renaissance of Esquivel’s popularity in the 1990s. – Tony Wilds

Eros Ramazzotti An international superstar whose appeal spans not only Western Europe but also Latin America, Eros Ramazzotti is a best-selling Italian singer/songwriter with a distinctive voice and a wide-ranging pop/rock style that encompasses everything from adult contemporary to classical crossover.

“Joy” is the latest record from Juno-winning drummer and composer Ernesto Cervini. Inspired by Louise Penny’s Gamache series of books (NYTimes Best-Sellers) and the qualities of goodness, decency, courage, and love that permeate them, Cervini was moved to compose music that captures the characters, landscapes and relationships created by Penny. From the opening track “Three Pines” that sets up this voyage, to a musical portrait of a duck and her cranky, poet laureate owner in “Ruth’s Rosa,” from the mercurial “Beauvoir” to the beautiful love story of “Sandalwood and Rosewater.”

Eren Gümrükçüoglu’s compositional world fuses unique timbres with gestural instrumental writing to craft a kind of abstract sonic cinema. There is a symphonic quality to many of these works despite their scoring for ensembles seven players and smaller, with orchestration and color occupying an essential role in Gümrükçüoglu’s writing. Equally influential is Gümrükçüoglu’s background in modern jazz, which presents itself not so much in full garb, but obliquely, in refracted form, coloring the rhythmic and harmonic material at pivotal moments and shaping his process for generating material.

“It was only with Partch that a music emerged that could do equal justice to the physical need for a rhythmic pulse and the curiosity for new, unheard sounds; a music that carries you along even though – or better: because – you don’t know it yet. A music for which one has no concept and which has no place, and which is nevertheless grounded in a strange way.” (Heiner Goebbels)

The famous Marquise of Pompadour, favorite of King Louis XV for almost 20 years, rules over the arts at court. Rameau, whom she particularly admires, is omnipresent. In particular, he receives a specific commission for the Théâtre des petits appartements where the marquise sings herself in the middle of a troupe mixing amateurs and professionals: Les Surprises de l’Amour, from which the ensemble Les Surprises takes its name. Under the expert direction of Louis-Noël Bestion de Camboulas, he presents here the very first recording of this ballet in its initial version of 1748, with the prologue entitled The Return of Astrée and associates with it another commission for one of the annual trips of the court to Fontainebleau: The Sybarites (1753), ballet act whose main couple is reminiscent of the king himself and his favorite. A high-flying vocal cast resurrects these two works: Marie Perbost, Eugénie Lefebvre, Jehanne Amzal, Clément Debieuvre, David Witczak, Philippe Estèphe.

Inspired by the Psyché created collectively by Lully, Molière, Corneille and Quinault, Locke’s Psyche was a veritable artistic firework display: seeking to vie in splendour with the operas of continental Europe, it luxuriously combined theatre, song, dance, and spectacular machines and scenery. Sébastien Daucé here offers us his splendid reconstruction of this key masterpiece in the history of early English opera.
