This album celebrates Johnny Griffin's fifty years in the business by utilizing repertoire with a musical affinity for each of these great cities of the world. Chicago is represented by blues and blues-based material, The JAMFS, and Leave Me Alone. The New York tracks have a be-bop orientation with the original compositions Do It and Not Yet, as well as Johnny's reworking of the standard Without A Song. Paris provides the record's romantic inspiration with To Love, You Must Believe In Spring, and, of course, My Romance.

Simple Desire is the second studio album by the Australian indie-rock band "All Mankind", released in October 2011.

An Uncompromising Black Metal Manifesto. The opener "The Devil Is Calling My Name" welcomes all who dare enter the uncompromising world of this Austrian black metal institution. Hellsaw's characteristic sound runs rampant through each of the new tracks, in which furious blast beats and infernal guitar riffs are crowned by frontman Aries' unmistakable and charismatic vocals lines. The songwriting unites the musicians' maturity with an unrestrained passion for black metal, thus creating an authentic atmosphere seldom experienced within the genre. With "Trist", Hellsaw spearheads the scene and pays homage with true black metal anthems able to confirm the band's undeniable supremacy.

Album recorded in Havana (Cuba) and released in Spain in 1991 by the label Fonomusic, under the musical direction of Ramon Huerta and Andrés Alen. The album offers six medleys of Latin songs suitable for the practice of ballroom dances (rumba, bolero, guaracha, cha-cha-cha and mambo).

Part of the so-called quietcore movement in Britain, where folk meets pop. The Optimist is by turns delicate, impassioned, wistful, and androgynous. The lyrics come at the listener indirectly, quite a few of them refer to relationships in an angsty manner, and there are oblique ecological and anti-corporate references. It's as if After the Gold Rush (with its silver space ships) and the films The Man Who Fell to Earth and Bladerunner have all been put in a blender. (…) File under: I'm not sure what's going on here, but it's interesting.

Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 is brought vividly to life in a concert recording by Antonio Pappano and the Orchestra dell’Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia performing in January 2011 to mark the composer’s double anniversary.

The virtuoso pianist and exclusive Chandos artist Louis Lortie here performs all three books, or ‘Years’, of Liszt’s Années de Pèlerinage (Years of Pilgrimage), a work rarely recorded in its entirety. Lortie has made more than thirty recordings for Chandos, covering a repertoire from Mozart to Stravinsky. His recording of Beethoven’s ‘Eroica’ Variations won an Edison Award; his disc of works by Schumann and Brahms was judged one of the best CDs of the year by BBC Music, and his interpretations of Liszt’s complete works for piano and orchestra and of Beethoven’s complete piano sonatas were both selected as Editor’s Choice in Gramophone.
