The Moroccan Sahrawi singer Oum announced the release of her new album entitled “Soul of Morocco” in France. With the variety of music styles incorporated in her new album, including Hassany langauge, African beats, Jazz, Soul, Amazigh and Sufi music, Oum sung all her songs in Moroccan dialect with delicateness and artistic talent.

2009 release, the sixth solo album from this Sheffield, England singer/songwriter and former Pulp sideman. The album's lush production provides a haunting backdrop to Hawley's unique voice and allows plenty of space for beautiful guitar solos. 'I wanted it to be a listening experience from start to finish, where you couldn't just pause it and go off and watch Coronation Street or whatever,' explains Hawley. 'Sonically, it flows. It's not jumping all over the place. It just has a mood that goes through the whole thing.' Thematically his darkest work to date, Truelove's Gutter explores the idea of people or things that are broken in some way, and the fractured and damaged times in which we live, to which Hawley's lyrics profoundly attest.

Even though there are just five tracks, it's enough to understand why he remains one of electric postwar blues' most seminal figures. (…) this is prime King and an essential acquisition for all fans.

Hyperion is delighted to present Donald Runnicles, chief conductor of the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra, in his debut on the label. Runnicles commands his orchestra in Bruckner’s most popular symphony—repertoire that is at the heart of his musical life, and in which he has few living equals. Recent concerts of the works of Bruckner and Wagner have received the highest critical praise, acknowledging the orchestra and their conductor as consummate performers of this music.

The world premiere of Nixon in China in October 1987 inaugurated a fresh era in American opera. The piece boldly carved out new territory by treating recent American history as suitably mythic operatic material. Skeptics thought this could result only in a trendily pop art-style ridicule of well-known political icons, but it turned out to be as valid a choice as Wagner’s dysfunctional gods or the tormented passions of verismo lovers. Years after the opera’s initial run at the Houston Grand Opera, Nixon is now recognized as a 20th-century masterpiece… —Thomas May
