This two-CD set was originally issued by Hyperion on CDA 66891/2 in the mid-1990s; it’s good to have the collection available like this and it can be thoroughly recommended.
Kamelot's first album with new singer Tommy Karevik, and a terrific addition to their impressive discography. This, the band's 10th album, is a tour de force of melodic power/prog metal.
Channel Classics has taken a turn into new territory with this release of sacred choral works by contemporary Swedish composer Sven-David Sandström (b. 1942) – and it turns out to be one of the label’s most engaging, enlightening – and exciting – discs of the year. ...it challenges our traditional expectations of what a choral concert is about. Here we’re confronted with music that doesn’t fit any regular form, yet faithfully follows time-honored biblical texts, from the Psalms to the Mass to the Song of Songs. ... Sandstrom writes with an assured understanding of voices, ...and while his works are for the most part extremely challenging, both for listeners and performers, the musical language is fresh and vital and perfectly suited to the medium.
Album released in Spain collecting original recordings of the great flamenco singer Antonio Fernández Díaz, alias 'Fosforito', one of the most prestigious singers in flamenco history and certainly the most honored for his career, including the 5th 'Llave de Oro del Cante' in 2005 (only 4 great singers possessed it before). Fosforito has been master creator of flamenco styles like 'polo', 'zángano', 'debla', 'ferreña' and 'taranto from Almería'. He has recorded more than thirty musical productions (not counting compilations), of which it has been recognized 'the work for universal dignity of flamenco, the relevance of their creative contributions to revitalizing disused styles'. His work is essential to the approach or immersion in the intricacies of flamenco. Fosforito is sober and deep, without concessions to the easy. Without discussion this is one of the most brilliant careers in flamenco singing of all time.
Single album for distribution in Europe that contains three songs and a video of the track that gives its title, 'Somethin' Stupid '. Performed by the English singer, artist and showman Robbie Williams, a real machine to create single records and to get number 1 in the charts in many countries, particularly in Europe. The main theme was included by Robbie on his album of the same year 'Swing When You're Winning', a loving memory to swing music. On that track he sings a duet with Nicole Kidman. The CD includes two additional musical topics and a fourth track beings the video produced by Jason Kremer on the same theme of the CD.

Of Eccard's songs a great many collections are extant such as those published in Der Evangelische Kirchengesang (1843) by Baron Karl Georg August Vivigens von Winterfeld.
![Cradle Of Filth - The Manticore & Other Horrors (2012) [Limited Edition]](https://pixhost.icu/avaxhome/3b/6b/00236b3b_medium.jpeg)
UK extreme metallers Cradle of Filth are set to release their new masterwork 'The Manticore & other Horrors' this Hallowe'en on Peaceville Records.The title of this, Cradle Of Filth's tenth studio full-length, can be likened to a bestiary, a collection of stories on Monsters; personal demons, Chimeras, literary fiends and world-enslaving entities to blame but a few, Manticore being the ravening title track. It is a song about a beautiful mythological horror that comes to be feared as the disfigurehead of foreign occupation in the Indian provinces.The songs Illicitus and Pallid Reflection bare the sweet ingredients of vampirism and lycanthropy; the wicked For Your Vulgar Delectation and Frost On her Pillow are woven perversely into grim fairytales, whilst classic, monumental tracks like The Abhorrent and Siding With The Titans both extol tentacular Lovecraftian values.
16 chillout/new-age songs featuring by Yanni, Enigma, Dead Can Dance, Jesse Cook, Nitin Sawhney, Moby, Thievery Corporation, and more.
The Story of the Animals has been well told across innumerable books and CD compilations over the year - including Raven's own and definitive Absolute Animals 1964-1968 (RVCD-178). The task here then is not to restate the band's history, but to explore the music contained within. Gratefully Dead 1964-1968 is not a "Greatest Hits" package (as Absolute Animals most assuredly is), rather a trawl through a selection of outstanding album cuts and rare B-sides that will give even further insight into the musical depth of one of the most inventive and best loved bands of the 1960s.
The Music For Montserrat concert was the brainchild of Sir George Martin in response to the plight of the people of Montserrat following a volcanic eruption on the island.The concert was held at the Royal Albert Hall on September 15th 1997 and Sir George Martin pulled together a stellar line up of artists including Phil Collins, Mark Knopfler, Sting, Elton John, Eric Clapton and Paul McCartney.
Master cellist Heinrich Schiff gives the premiere of the Cello Concerto - an intense, brilliantly scored work coloured variously by soprano sax, bongos, congas, and organ as well as banks of strings - written for him by Friedrich Cerha, at 81 widely considered Austria's greatest living composer. It is paired with Franz Schreker's Chamber Symphony, and both are superbly interpreted by conductor Peter Eötvös and the Netherlands Radio Chamber Orchestra.
The centenary of the birth of Luigi Dallapiccola prompted something of a reassessment of the Italian composer whose reputation, in the three decades since his death, has been accorded passive respect rather than active promotion. The relatively limited extent of his output, some four dozen works, is belied by its diversity of expression, though following such powerful wartime works as Canti di prigionia (1941) and the opera Il prigioniero (1948), Dallapiccola’s music tends to the contemplative and philosophic, qualities for which his magnum opus, the opera Ulisse, was …….Richard Whitehouse - Naxos-Booklet
A couple of years ago I was interviewing Francis Jocky, a singer/songwriter from The Cameroon in Africa, and was rather taken aback by his answer to my question about early his musical influences. "I started being interested in music when I was eight years old, and I was listening to Bob Marley, Randy Newman and Jackson Browne". While it's pretty typical for a kid from Africa to have been listening to Marley, and the fact he was listening to Newman was surprising, what really shocked me was he had heard of Jackson Browne let alone had listened to him in The Cameroon.
