Genre: Ethnic, New Age | Style: Celtic

HYMNS OF THE CELTS is a lilting slice of Celtic New Age, featuring a repertoire of Celtic classics sung by a male choir. The highly atmospheric, minor-key charms of these traditional songs are perfectly rendered by the choir, whose plaintive, ethereal voices will envelop and soothe the listener. Musical accompaniment from synthesizer and programmed percussion flesh out the compositions tastefully at times–as on the English-language "The Voice"–lending a contemporary feel to the timeless melodies. The Adormus release should interest fans of Celtic and choral music alike.

Since his days with the Bud Powell Trio, drummer Art Taylor was an invaluable member of the Blue Note recording family. A.T.'s Delight is the only album made under his own name for the label and it is a remarkable one. Choosing great compositions by Coltrane, Monk, Denzil Best and Kenny Dorham, Taylor assembled a great quintet fronted by Dave Burns and Stanley Turrentine, often adding Potato's congas to the proceedings. The unique and varied arrangements and great playing pay tribute to the drummer's exceptional song selection.

In May of 2011, the Festival International de Musique Actuelle de Victoriaville celebrated saxophonist Peter Brötzmann's 70th birthday with two concerts, one solo, one with his Trio Roma featuring electric bassist Massimo Pupillo and drummer Paal Nilssen-Love. Both are included in this double-disc set on Victo. Disc two includes the nearly 70-minute improvisation "Music Marries Room to Room," followed by the five-minute closer "The Turning Glory." As one would expect, these are scorched-earth musical powerhouses.

Antonio Lucio Vivaldi (4 March 1678 – 28 July 1741), nicknamed il Prete Rosso ("The Red Priest") because of his red hair, was an Italian Baroque composer, Catholic priest, and virtuoso violinist, born in Venice. Recognized as one of the greatest Baroque composers, his influence during his lifetime was widespread over Europe. Vivaldi is known mainly for composing instrumental concertos, especially for the violin, as well as sacred choral works and over forty operas. His best known work is a series of violin concertos known as The Four Seasons.

Being only 21 years of age, producer Jonas Thor Gudmundsson is one of the real youngsters of the GEM family - yet with every further step in his career, he manages to prove that his huge potential is not to be underestimated. Having performed on the side of pop stars like Björk and Alex Paterson (The Orb), Jonas Thor has been keeping track of the pop business for some time now, and maybe with talents like him we are already seeing the dawn of a new generation in Skandinavian electronic music like Sigur Ros, Mùm or Royskopp…

Steve Howe belongs to a group of distinctive guitar virtuosos who have emerged from the field of rock music. While he dedicates himself, together with his colleagues from Yes, to the art of the wall-of-sound style, the British musician, rooted in the tradition of jazz, blues and country stars such as Les Paul, Wes Montgomery and Chet Atkins, normally chooses a more quieter sound on his solo efforts. After the acoustic song collection ‘Natural Timbre’ and the etheric album ‘Skyline’, there is much more variety on the new work ‘Elements’. And it’s a new event in the home of Howe because the master‘s two sons, Dylan and Virgil, belong to the latest band project called Remedy.
