Compilation album of Rolling Stones cover songs in the 1960s. Recorded in 1965-67. 2 discs, 48 tracks included.

The idea of alternating trio sonatas with cantatas is a happy one, based perhaps on the idea that people play CDs for pleasure and not simply for reference. The two cantatas are rarities on record. Tra le fiamme is a spectacularly scored piece, its textures enriched by a viola da gamba obbligato and wind instruments (recorders in some numbers, oboes in another) as well as strings.

Joseph Kelemen is one of the most renowned organists of our time and has recorded quite a number of CDs for OehmsClassics. In this box, the label presents the recordings of the North German organ masters Vincent Lübeck, Matthias Weckmann, Nicolaus Bruhns, Heinrich Scheidemann, Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck and the Praetorius “Family”.

Although a 1981 recording, digitally remastered in 1987, this one is the best of the bunch for overall consistency and fidelity to both the note and spirit of the original conception. Sigiswald Kuijken is unfailingly precise in his intonation in pieces which test the soloist's technique to the hilt, with extended passages of double-stopping producing rich textures and sonorities suggestive of ensemble playing. Nowhere, perhaps, is his technique more impressive than in the Ciaconna of the Partita in d.

Older chamber music fans who lament the demise of the trio formed by pianist Eugene Istomin, violinist Isaac Stern, and cellist Leonard Rose will rejoice to hear of this two-disc EMI DVD set featuring videotaped recordings by the esteemed American trio of Beethoven's complete works in the genre: the three Trios from Opus 1, the two from Opus 70, and the one and only Opus 97, plus the transcription of Opus 11. They will, of course, already have the players' stereo studio recordings of the works released on Columbia in the '60s, but unless they were watching French television in 1970, they probably missed these performances filmed live in the studio in Paris. Istomin, Stern, and Rose here have the same distinctive blend of strong individuality and sympathetic ensemble, of blunt aggression and warm tenderness, of powerful drama and melting lyricism that was the hallmark of the group's studio performances, but with the extra excitement and spontaneity of live performances.

In the fall of 2024, the Eagles received news of the passing of J.D. Souther, a man who was inseparable from the Eagles. This album is a requiem for the man who was called "the other Eagles. There are few groups that have undergone as many member changes as the Eagles. In the first half of the book, we focus on the origins of Glenn Frey and Don Henley. Of course, the memorial to J.D., who is not a member of the Eagles but is considered an important figure, is not forgotten, and M-4 and M-5 are rare recordings that have never been released on CD in the world. The middle section of the album features a beautiful melody of the Eagles' later songs. In the middle section, we pick up Bernie Leadon and Don Felder's former band, and also get closer to unexpected sounds such as Joe Walsh's Ohio Express. The M-10 by the Moundi Quintet, which features Bernie and Don Felder, shows the budding of the West Coast sound, and the aesthetic M-12 and M-13 are also solid.The second half of the album, which includes the latter half of the album, is a compilation of the activities of Timothy B. Schmidt, Randy Meisner, and other members of the band in their early years. The second half of the album includes the performances of Timothy B. Schmidt, Randy Meisner, and other members from their early years, including Timothy B. Schmidt, Randy Meisner, and others. The final performance was taken from O.S.T.'s "Hells Angels On Wheels," which was also performed by Poor in the film. - Masayuki Ishiura

Jupiter Fungus is a progressive rock studio project featuring two musicians from Piraeus, Greece, which began in 2012, and consists of Ares Papatriantafillou on keyboards & vocals and Fotis Xenikoudakis on flute. Their 'Jupiter Fungus' project was set up to pay homage to the legendary bands associated with the progressive and classic rock scene of the 1970s - such as Jethro Tull, Focus, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple etc. - and although essentially just a duo, selected studio musicians were also recruited to enable them to create their debut album 'Garden Electric'. With the liberal use of a variety of keyboards and flute, augmented by some powerful guitars and a solid drum and bass foundation, the four-track album of just under 50 minutes is brimming with vibrant arrangements and unexpected shifts. 'Garden Electric' was released on limited gatefold vinyl, CD, and also digitally, by Sound Effect Records on November 1, 2024.

Compilation of wild beat bands from the German beat scene, where even the Beatles honed their skills in their early days! As seen in the movie "No Hamburg No Beatles", the German beat scene exploded in Hamburg, the world's largest red-light district, following the example of UK migrant bands. The wave spread to Berlin, Munich, Frankfurt, and other cities. This is a compilation of 18 groups of German wild beats that emerged from the rough production of just cover bands and bands of unknown identity and nationality. - Jimmy Masuko

The Very Best of Diana Krall collects a nice cross-section of tracks the pianist/vocalist recorded beginning with her 1996 breakthrough album, All for You, and moving through to her 2006 effort From This Moment On. These are largely urbane and stylish recordings that range from her intimate and swinging trio work with guitarist Russell Malone and bassist Christian McBride to her lush orchestral and big-band numbers. While this is primarily a compilation for fans of the sophisticated, jazz standards-oriented Krall, Verve does earn some kudos for including at least one cut from her deeply personal and subsequently not as popular effort The Girl in the Other Room. Also featured are cuts from her stellar 2002 concert album Live in Paris. If you're a fan of straight-ahead jazz with a heavy dash of romance and haven't checked out Krall's work, The Very Best is superb place to start.

Best known for her lengthy collaboration with famed electronic composer Mike Oldfield, singer Maggie Reilly was born in Glasgow, Scotland in 1956. She began her performing career during the early 1970s as a member of the local blues band Joe Cool; later renamed Cado Belle, the group's self-titled debut LP was issued in 1976. An EP followed a year later, but Cado Belle dissolved soon after, with Reilly turning to session work before signing on with the trio Riotous Assembly. She met Oldfield in 1979, and a year later contributed vocals to his album QE2; they collaborated on three more projects – Five Miles Out, Crises and Discovery – before Reilly made her solo debut in 1984 with a cover of the classic "As Tears Go By." She spent the latter half of the decade focusing on raising a family, returning to music only intermittently, including a 1989 reunion with Oldfield on his album Earth Moving; finally, in 1992 Reilly issued her debut solo LP Echoes, followed a year later by Midnight Sun. Elena appeared in 1996.

Gabriela Anders got her big break singing a duet with soft jazz giant Michael Franks, and like that new age patriarch, Anders wraps laid-back vocals around even more tranquil rhythms. It's all very calming and proficient and breezy. Wanting, her debut album, mixes bits of her Argentine heritage with late-'70s California jazz, so Brazilian music coasts along with soft and hazy saxophone fills and tapping percussion leads. It all can be very pretty, as the opening "Fire of Love" represents Anders at her most relaxed and relaxing.

101 Stax Records features the most iconic tracks by the biggest names from the world famous record company. Carefully compiled across 5 discs presenting some of the finest repertoire ever available at this price point.

Sibelius studied the violin in his youth, and actively entertained the prospect of a career as a professional violinist for much of his student life. After graduating from the Helsinki Music Institute, in 1890, he went to Vienna to continue his studies, and while there he even auditioned (unsuccessfully) for a place in the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. So, it comes as no surprise that the instrument plays an important place in his compositional output. What might be surprising is that he wrote only one concerto – this might perhaps be due to the difficult conception of the work.

As a soundtrack to the documentary Janis: Little Girl Blue, this 2016 album does its job, providing an aural biography to complement the visual one. The 17 tracks are sequenced chronologically – the exception being the title track, pulled from I Got Dem Ol' Kozmic Blues Again Mama! and functioning as a coda here – so it's possible to hear her raw talent evolve from an early performance of "Careless Love" to a heavy dose of Big Brother & the Holding Company and on to her solo work. Although Big Brother's "Down on Me" and her lone Top 10 hit "Me and Bobby McGee" are here in their familiar studio versions, this soundtrack is populated by live tracks, many pulled from expanded reissues, so this functions almost as an alternate history: it tells the story through versions that aren't readily familiar. Also, these versions seem somewhat more rare than they actually are – any dedicated Janis fan likely has all of the cuts here somewhere in their collection – which speaks to how thoroughly the vaults have been combed. That said, this does a good job of rounding up some of the best rarities and presenting them in a fashion that's appealing to a broader audience.

Max Reger made significant contributions to practically every musical genre – this box set focus is on his chamber music and cello sonatas. This tonal and formal combination fascinated Reger over the course of a quarter of a century. Since the individual CDs are no longer available, for the Reger Year 2016 CPO is now releasing the complete recording of this enthralling group of works in a box set at a special low price, along with his complete cello sonatas and a new booklet containing all the introductory texts and updated biographies of the equally fascinating musicians, including Ulf Wallin and Roland Pöntinen.
