Released in 1996, Le Onde “The Waves” was the first solo piano album released by Ludovico Einaudi. The incredible work featured the following quote from the man himself. “If it were a story it would be set on the seafront of a long beach. A beach without beginning and without end. The story of a man who walks along this shore and perhaps never meets anyone. His gaze lingers occasionally to look at some object or fragment brought from the sea. The footprints of a crab or a solitary seagull. I always take the sand, the sky, some clouds, the sea. Only the waves change, always the same and different, smaller. larger. Shorter. Longer.”

Hans, le joueur de flûte is a ravishing opera, loosely based on the legend of Hamelin’s pied piper popularized notably by the Grimm Brothers, composed by Louis Ganne and premiered in Monte-Carlo in 1906. Rarely recorded, its best rendition is undoubtedly this beautiful 1967 performance with the best French singers of their time, including Liliane Berton and the amazing baritone Michel Dens in the title-role.

“Dein Begleiter”, das elfte Studioalbum von Laith Al-Deen, erscheint am 19. April 2024, passend zu seiner Frühjahrstour.
Laith bezeichnet es als “eine moderne Produktion. Ich habe in meiner Band fast ausschließlich Leute an Bord, die ich seit Beginn meiner Karriere kenne. Einige Texte sind äußerst autobiographisch. Andere wiederum stecken voller Anekdoten von Freunden und Menschen, mit denen ich Songs schreibe, die sowohl erlebt als auch fiktiv sind.”
Mit dem neuen Werk besingt die charismatische Größe des Deutsch-Pops mit der einzigartigen Soul-Stimme das Leben in all seinen Facetten. Die Albumankündigung wird von der Videopremiere zu Laiths zweiter Single “Dein Begleiter” begleitet und bietet einen exklusiven Einblick hinter die Kulissen.

Erin Morley is one of today’s most sought after coloratura sopranos, and her debut recital album presents a thoughtfully curated program which mirrors a stroll through a garden, delving into rich repertoire inspired by flowers, birds, and nature. Morley, known for her operatic roles, draws on connections to the natural world, offering a mix of well-known pieces, contemporary compositions, and hidden gems. A notable feature is the premiere recording of Ricky Ian Gordon’s “Huit Chansons de Fleurs,” a contemporary song cycle exploring themes of death, resurrection, fragrance, and the fleeting nature of beauty, adding a layer of poignancy to an album which features a diverse selection of vocal repertoire. Among the album’s highlights is Saint-Saens’s “La Libellule,” a rarely heard gem capturing the agile movement of a dragonfly. Sullivan’s “Rose-in-Bloom” stands out as the first to present the aria in its original key, the heights of the final cadenza just one example of Morley’s extraordinary performance of the repertoire. The program also includes compositions by Rachmaninov, Zemlinsky, and Milhaud, exploring further connections to the themes of blossoms and birds. “Rose in Bloom” is an exploration of nature’s influence on music, a testament to Erin Morley’s artistry and originality, and a delightful journey through a garden of musical encounters.
