“This lovely recording succeeds in its goal of transporting the listener back to the lost Iberian world of the 13th century, where a unique culture emerged in the Mediterranean, an amalgamation of Christian, Hebraic and Arabic elements.

“You never know where you have Riisager: he is the man of surprises and caprices,” wrote a Danish newspaper after the first performance of Knudåge Riisager's Symphony No. 3 in 1932. Indeed, this album presents a collection of highly original and imaginative orchestral works by Riisager from the 1920s and 30s, including the euphoric Futurist tribute to the new aeroplanes T-DOXC - all in world premiere recordings by Aarhus Symphony Orchestra and conductor Bo Holten.

A work for such forces as Casella's so-called Triple Concerto for Piano, Violin, Cello and Orchestra, composed in 1933, cannot but invite comparison with Beethoven's Triple Concerto, and Casella was quick to call attention to differences. "While Beethoven deliberately gave each of the three instruments…a specifically bravura and brilliant function, in my Concerto the three solo instruments form a little block of sound ….

A year after they came out of nowhere and released their excellent self-titled debut album, doom-tastic Bloody Hammers, a US occult band with overtones of 1960s/1970s hard rock, return with their follow-up Spiritual Relics.

In the absence of Stephane Grappelli, Ray Nance, and Stuff Smith, 83-year-old frigo is nothing short of a violin icon. Which is not to say that he is anything of a museum piece. His work during this Caribbean jazz cruise is soulful and swinging. For the uninitiated, Frigo's playing will invite inevitable comparisons with Grappelli. True, both have a buoyant joy to their music, especially on rhythm numbers. Frigo, however, has a reservoir of Gypsy melancholia (particularly on ballads or verses) that is not to be found in the Frenchman's music. When Frigo navigates emotionally through "The Man I Love" on a Gershwin medley, handkerchiefs all over the ship must have been pressed into service. The hell-bent fiddling on "Strike up the Band" is a reminder that Frigo spent years on a country-music radio show. The last tune elicits some delightfully surprising chord choices from pianist Joe Vito…

This is a disk that does not often appear in the usual discographies of an interpreter and are considered oddities have been released to the local domestic consumption in some countries or areas. Diana Krall initially released the first half of this album as an EP in 1998 in his country, Canada, for Christmas. Following that launch her dealer released it in Japan, edited and completed as EP for the same reason with 3 additional tracks, the last three. This is what makes the unique CD, without being a studio album or even an 'out-take'. On the first three issues the work adds three recordings that are not on the past records of Diana. The six themes allow complete this miniature holiday with his usual style of jazz vocal presence.
