Consisting of Jim Edward Brown and his sisters Maxine and Bonnie, The Browns were for a time in the late 1950s one of the most popular country harmony groups. They took the sound of acts like The Delmore Brothers amongst others to a level of crossover success never dreamed of by the pioneers who came before them. This is Jasmine's second volume covering the original LPs by the country vocal group The Browns. The first volume covered the group's first four albums and here they have their next two LPs 'Our Favorite Folk Songs' and 'Sing Songs From The Little Brown Church Hymnal'. In addition to the two LPs covered by this set, Jasmine have also included the groups 45 release "Send Me The Pillow You Dream On". Fully detailed liner notes.

Sue Raney (McPherson, Kansas 1939) remains one of the most talented and sensitive singers ever to grace both jazz and pop music. Her deceptively easy mastery was honed by years of experience, beginning with fronting her own 15-minute TV show as a teenager. A 1956 appearance on the Jack Carson radio show led to a spot on Ray Anthony s TV show and a three-month stint at the Hollywood Palladium. Signed by Capitol Records, she made her debut single with the popular The Careless Years and won an impressive accolade when Capitol assigned Nelson Riddle to arrange and conduct her first album, When Your Lover Has Gone, in 1957. With her easy-to-listen-to ballad style, she drew a teen-age following in a music world that was then largely limited to rock n roll.

Rhino's Troubadours of British Folk series, encompassing three volumes, four decades, 49 songs, and almost as many performers, is a model genre retrospective. For those who want a representative collection of the style's highlights, it covers virtually all of the major performers and innovators of British folk, represented by their best-known (and usually best) songs. For those who want an introduction/guide to the form, it's equally useful, serving as an excellent foundation to build upon if you're motivated to seek out more albums by these performers after an initial taste. Volume One covers the mid-'50s to the early '70s, encompassing skiffle (Lonnie Donegan), elder statespersons (Ewan MacColl), virtuoso guitarists (Davy Graham, Bert Jansch, Martin Carthy), traditional singers (Jean Redpath, Shirley & Dolly Collins), singer-songwriters (Donovan), and early efforts by the major players of British folk-rock (Fairport Convention, Pentangle, The Incredible String Band, Steeleye Span).

This 70-track, three-CD set contains a lot of seldom and never-before-released Ducal selections, from the mid-'60s to the early '70s. The 1965 Tanglewood recordings with the famed conductor Arthur Fiedler feature some rousing, jazz-and-strings renditions of "Caravan" and "The Mooch," along with a long-lost recording of a Duke radio interview. For those who love Ellington's beautiful but underrated piano playing, there are some spicy tracks from a keyboard jam session with Earl "Fatha" Hines. Some behind-the-scenes sides from a Newport Jazz Festival party are included, and 26 tracks from a previously unreleased Reader's Digest recording with organist Wild Bill Davis are unveiled. Ellington's last major concert from the United Kingdom in 1973, one year before his death, reveals his high level of musicianship till the end. Of course, stars like alto and tenor Johnny Hodges and Paul Gonsalves solo sweetly, and Duke Ellington shows us, once again, why we loved him madly. –Eugene Holley Jr.

Franz Benda (1709-1786) worked for much of his life at the court of Frederick the Great. He was a prolific composer but very few of his works were published. His brother Georg (1722-1795) received a similar education as choirboy, violinist and harpsichordist. Il Gardellino was founded in 1988 and its members are specialists in performance on early instruments.

Premiered by the Hallé under Sir John Barbirolli in 1953, the Sinfonia antartica originated in Vaughan Williams’ score for the film Scott of the Antarctic. With a highly original scoring (including solo soprano, wordless women’s chorus, organ, piano and extensive percussion section), the work depicts the struggle of man over nature, as epitomized in Captain Scott’s ill-fated expedition to the South Pole. The symphony is characterized with heroic themes, evocative orchestral effects and music which is at turns emotive and powerful.

This CD features German star violinist Christian Tetzlaff with virtuoso Romantic concertos by Felix Mendelssohn and Robert Schumann. The Mendelssohn Concerto is one of the most frequently performed violin concertos of all time, with an unfailing popularity among audiences. Also included is Schumann’s more seldom recorded Fantasy for Violin and orchestra, which he completed shortly before writing the Concerto. One of Schumann’s last significant compositions, the long-lost Violin Concerto saw its première performance only in 1937, and was hailed by Yehudi Menuhin as the “historically missing link of the violin literature.”

After several successful years as a freelancer in Vienna it appears as if Mozart was no longer interested in pleasing Viennese society’s taste with music for pure entertainment. The composer continued down the path of personal discovery he had embarked upon the year before, and with ever more resolve: while Vienna was still “Piano Land” to Mozart, it was now on his terms. His head was primarily full of opera. Mozart’s work on Figaro led him to paint situation and emotion with new colouristic tools which would spill over into the piano concertos that followed it, each of them imbued with a more fluid sense of dialogue between soloist and orchestra. The first concerto on this recording exchanges material with Figaro’s rapid, conversational and changeable style. He expands the orchestration and “there are manic changes in the music.

Music by the marvelous, criminally underrated composer and “Aural Alchemist” Charles Koechlin is always a discovery and invariably. “Koechlin can daub with notes as Seurat daubed with bright pigments on canvas [he] could, whenever he wished, bathe his music in the impressionist glories of Debussy and Ravel or give it the delicacy of Fauré and then toughen it up with some Roussel-like grinding rhythms” (Robert Reilly). He is an impressionist dreamboat.

The album "let it touch you" celebrates the 20th anniversary of the still active jam band "Café Drechsler" from Austria.It is an acoustic adventure, a colourful bouquet of flowers with the scent of a long journey of this extraordinary as well as unique band from Austria. The three protagonists Ulrich Drechsler (saxophone), Oliver Steger (double bass) and Alex Deutsch (drums) are all artists who have been working internationally for decades in various formations as well as with their own individual projects. They seem to move light-footedly and weightlessly between genres with their own stylistic means of jamming and improvisation, without compromising or betraying their "trade mark sound and groove".

Pi-Chin Chien likes to discover unknown treasures of the cello literature, like the works by Paul Juon, of whom she realized the first CD recordings of his Cello Concerto, Triple Concerto and Cello Sonata. With the pianist Bernhard Parz she has now made the world premiere recording of the entire works for cello and piano by the Swiss late romantic composer Émile Jaques-Dalcroze (1865-1950). The valuable and expressive works testify to great originality and esprit. He is considered the founder of rhythmic-musical education. While his pedagogical methods have spread worldwide and institutes around the world have dedicated themselves to them, his compositional work has remained largely undiscovered. The album will be released by the label Tyxart.

Album LIDOVĚK je prvním sólovým albem herce a hudebníka Matěje Metoděje Štrunc. Alba se jako producent ujal populární zpěvák a kytarista Thom Artway. Lidové písně v moderním pojetí. Za přítomnosti cimbálu, houslí, kytary a dalších akustických nástrojů se Matěj M. Štrunc prodírá lidovou písní spolu s bicí soupravou, syntezátory, elektronickým nádechem a moderním zvukem. Lidové písně napříč regiony se nám na tomto albu zrcadlí v nové podobě, s novým nádechem. Citlivé zpracování původního lidového textu, ale v kombinaci s nejen akustickými nástroji, ale i elektronickou hudbou a ambientními zvuky.
