Genre: Hard Rock

Kiss Rooted in the campy theatrics of Alice Cooper and the sleazy hard rock of glam rockers the New York Dolls, Kiss became a favorite of American teenagers in the '70s. Most kids were infatuated with the look of Kiss, not their music. Decked out in outrageously flamboyant costumes and makeup, the band fashioned a captivating stage show featuring dry ice, smoke bombs, elaborate lighting, blood spitting, and fire breathing that captured the imaginations of thousands of kids. But Kiss' music shouldn't be dismissed – it is a commercially potent mix of anthemic, fist-pounding hard rock driven by sleek hooks and ballads powered by loud guitars, earworm melodies, and sweeping strings. It's a sound that laid the groundwork for both arena rock and the pop-metal that dominated rock in the late '80s.

Genre: Pop

Madonna changed the trajectory of popular music not long after "Borderline" became her first Top Ten hit in 1984. Fusing post-disco dance with effervescent pop, the song was unexpected and fresh, a trick that soon became her signature. Over a career that lasted for decades, Madonna ushered underground sounds into the mainstream, specializing in trends percolating in dance clubs. As she arrived at the dawn of the MTV era, she seized the possibilities of music videos, creating a series of sexy, stylish clips that earned her the reputation of a provocateur while also establishing the network as the bastion for hip culture in the 1980s. Madonna recorded many of the pop anthems that defined that decade – "Like a Virgin," "Material Girl," "Live to Tell," "Papa Don't Preach," "Open Your Heart," "Like a Prayer," "Express Yourself" – and in the process she created the archetype of a modern pop star: one whose music was inextricably tied with its visual representation, and one who was loathe to trade upon past glories.

Genre: Classical

With their new CD Sound Stories, recorder player Stefan Temmingh and harpist Margret Koell tell stories from fve centuries, played on almost a dozen different futes and three different harps modelled on historical instruments.The resulting contrasts shed new light on the individual works and of course on the instruments for which they were composed. With their selection, which is indeed a wild, extravagant and at the same time very sensual mixture, the two artists want to express their curiosity and thirst for adventure in short musical stories. The compilation seems intuitive, but it is characterised by the experiences of both artists and the personal themes that unite them. Different musical genres such as songs, arias, sonatas, variation cycles and dance movements are skilfully combined, mostly played on original instruments from the period in which they were composed. Each work has something to tell in its own way and the result is an inspiring sequence of interwoven sound stories.

The last of the major Motown groups to receive proper box-set treatment, the Four Tops in a sense got the best of the bunch, since this tells a ripping history while providing a cornucopia of rarities.

Elève de Mikhail Pletnev à qui elle doit la découverte du trop rare Concerto pour piano en ut # dièse mineur de Nikolai Rimsky-Korsakov qui ouvre son programme, la pianiste russe Zlata Chochieva s’impose par son autorité et une imagination allant bien au-delà de son aisance technique.

David Oistrakh is considered the premiere violinist of mid-20th century Soviet Union. His recorded legacy includes nearly the entire standard violin repertory up to and including Prokofiev and Bartók. Oistrakh's violin studies began in 1913 with famed teacher Pyotr Stolyarsky. Later he officially joined Stolyarsky's class at the Odessa Conservatory, graduating in 1926 by playing Prokofiev's First Violin Concerto. Performances of the Glazunov concerto in Odessa and Kiev in 1927, and a 1928 debut in Leningrad (Tchaikovsky concerto), gave Oistrakh the confidence to move to Moscow. He made his premiere there in early 1929, but the event went largely unnoticed. In 1934, however, after several years of patiently refining his craft, Oistrakh was invited to join the Moscow Conservatory, eventually rising to the rank of full professor in 1939.

Genre: Progressive Metal, Hard Rock

Tool established themselves as one of America's most enduring and unpredictable acts with an ever-evolving brand of muscular but mind-altering sonics, a wry sense of humor, and a mystical aesthetic that attracted a cult-like following of devoted fans with just a handful of albums spread across decades. Their greatest breakthrough was to meld dark underground metal with the ambition of art rock, crafting multi-sectioned, layered songs as if they were classical composers. While embracing the artsy, they also paid musical homage to the relentlessly bleak visions of grindcore, death metal, and thrash. Even with their post-punk influences, they executed their music with the sound and feel of prog rock, alternating between long, detailed instrumental interludes and lyrical rants in their songs.

Recording on our partner label CAvi Music, pianist Sheila Arnold announces her upcoming album, on which she performs Brahms, Bach and Jörg Widmann on a special Blüthner grand piano from the early 1860s. As the piano is built with strings that are still straight and not overstrung, the registers are clearly different. The instrument has an unmistakable tone quality due to the unique way it is built, which provides an added layer of multidimensionality for the listener.
