Individually, guitarists Nels Cline and Julian Lage have played in many settings. Cline, a member of Wilco, has worked with Julius Hemphill, Charlie Haden, and many others; Lage’s extensive resume includes Gary Burton and Yoko Ono. Room is generally quiet, but things can get charged, and the album doesn’t lack edge. On Lage’s “Calder,” the pair play acoustic guitars, and you can hear traces of unplugged John McLaughlin. Cline’s “Racy” references blues, but it also spirals off in other directions. “Freesia/The Bond” opens like a ballad, goes on to hint at non-Western music, and wraps up in a pop-like mode.

En 2009, le Festival 1001 Notes lance sa collection avec le projet du Maître et l’élève. Fort du succès de ce dernier, 1001 Notes décide de confirmer son soutien aux jeunes artistes et d’enregistrer le premier disque de la pianiste Natacha Kudritskaya consacré à Rameau.
Natacha Kudritskaya, pianiste ukrainienne, s’intéresse dès le Conservatoire de Kiev à la musique française et se passionne peu à peu pour Rameau dont on fêtera l’anniversaire des 250 ans de sa mort en 2014. En 2011, l’Abbaye de Royaumont, qui vient d’acquérir le plus grand fond de documentation sur Rameau, accueille Natacha en résidence. Elle effectue un travail de recherche approfondi sur Rameau et découvre de nouvelles œuvres et pistes d’interprétation de sa musique. Elle se penche tout particulièrement sur l’incroyable modernité de son écriture. L’enregistrement du CD se confirme et Natacha décide qu’elle jouera sur un piano moderne Yamaha. Elle explique son choix : « L’œuvre de Rameau pour clavecin constitue un trésor fondamental dans l’évolution de l’instrument et dans les techniques d’interprétation, cette richesse devienne une évidence lorsque les œuvres sont jouées sur une piano moderne, or très peu de ses œuvres ont été enregistrées sur piano moderne au XX°s.

Trumpeter Miles Davis led several sessions for Prestige Records between November 1955 and October 1956 with his legendary “first” quintet, featuring tenor saxophonist John Coltrane, pianist Red Garland, bassist Paul Chambers, and drummer Philly Joe Jones. The sessions represent an incomparable musical legacy. Impeccably engineered by Rudy Van Gelder, the music was released on five albums that provide a unique glimpse at how five brilliant instrumentalists coalesced into one of the most extraordinary ensembles in modern jazz. Workin’ presents an easygoing program that balances ballads with the blues and includes quintet performances of originals by Davis (“Four,” “Half Nelson”), Coltrane (“Trane’s Blues”), and Dave Brubeck (“In Your Own Sweet Way”); an interpretation of the standard “It Never Entered My Mind” without saxophone; and a piano-trio version of Ahmad Jamal’s “Ahmad’s Blues.” Coltrane’s melancholy solo on Brubeck’s tune and Garland’s spry excursion on Coltrane’s are two of this classic’s many highlights.

Callas forever :: Vériste, Callas prête sa voix d’argent à Adriana Lecouvreur de Cilea, Madeleine d’Andrea Chénier, sans omettre l’hymne à la nature de la pure Wally (Catalani). En français, Callas qui meurt à Paris et trouve en France une seconde patrie : chante alceste de Gluck, Carmen de Bizet (Séguédille et chanson bohème), Saint-Saëns (chant d’ivresse et d’extase amoureuse : Mon coeur s’ouvre à ta voix), Juliette de Gounod (Roméo et Juliette), Lakmé de Delibes, Louise de Charpentier (Depuis le jour où je me suis donnée), Marguerite du Faust de Gounod (air des bijoux), Dinorah de Meyerbeer… Compilation anthologique en version remastérisée.
