Elena Urioste and Tom Poster return for their second recital on Chandos, focussing on French repertoire. The performers write: ‘The three sonatas on this album were all published during the decade 1916 – 26, a musical period to which we often find ourselves drawn, when the world – and the artistic landscape – was changing beyond recognition. Faure lamented to his wife that his Second Sonata, composed under the shadow of the First World War, had never achieved anything like the popularity of his First; having fallen under the Second Sonata’s spell, we wanted to help to right this continuing imbalance. Mel Bonis, whose life story reads like the plot of a Hollywood film, wrote more than 300 pieces, and all those we have explored so far have been wonderful (she is our hot tip for the next composer due a major renaissance). Her only violin sonata is a rhapsodic work with a Greek folk melody at its heart, which we were enraptured by the moment we encountered it. Reynaldo Hahn is generally better known to singers than to instrumentalists, though his chamber music is as exquisite as his songs. His Violin Sonata was the last work on this album to be composed, but where Faure in his Sonata looks forward to modernist developments, Hahn (with the exception of his short middle movement, inspired by a fast car ride!) looks back nostalgically to a gentler time. The earliest of the works here, and possibly the most often heard these days, is the Nocturne by Lili Boulanger, an exquisite miniature from a composer whose life ended far too soon.’

In the enigmatic realm of ambient soundscapes, David Harrow casts his sonic spell with a finesse that mirrors the subtlety of moonlight filtering through dense foliage. His work, an auditory odyssey through the nebulous expanses of electronic music, beckons the listener into a cocoon of introspection.

Harrow’s ambient compositions defy the rigidity of classification, skirting the edges of techno, experimental electronica, and a realm uniquely his own. It’s a dance with abstraction, a chiaroscuro of sound that hints at both the cosmic and the intimately introspective.

“Whatever Happened to Love” has the remarkable distinction of being the only Gospel Truth recording to originate from in-house sessions with Stax producers, engineers and affiliated players. Stax staffer Tom Nixon oversaw the project with a team of engineers that included Dave Purple, William Brown, Henry Bush and Josephine Bridges, who with Nixon had previously co-founded Stax subsidiary We Produce Records. We Produce solo artists Lee Sain and Lou Bond both sing backup behind Smith, who had anoff-kilter approach to gospel without ever listening to his record. For one, he was adamant about removing his shirt for the cover, according to label leadership. Within the grooves of the album, he wears a knack for experimentation on his proverbial sleeve—even without a shirt.

The process behind concept record “Songs Our Father Used to Sing” included a great deal of fanfare. On its face, the album is based on a humble enough premise: siblings Charles May and Annette May Thomas pay a loving tribute to their father, legendary gospel singer Brother Joe May, known affectionately in the gospel world as the “Thunderbolt of the Middle West.” But the album, ambitious in its sound, indulges even further into the grandiose in almost every aspect of its creation.

The American pianist Andrew Armstrong has made his first recording for Rubicon: a fascinating recital of American piano music. The great George Gershwin is on the program with the 3 Preludes as well as “I Got Rhythm” and his most popular work, the dazzling “Rhapsody in Blue”, written 100 years ago. Two Afro-American composers are represented with Julia Perry and William Grant Still. Aaron Jay Kernis’ “Before Sleep and Dreams” is a five-movement suite from 1990, inspired by Schumann’s “Kinderszenen” and Debussy’s “Children’s Corner”. Finally, Armstrong’s own composition “She Fell for a Flyfisher” is a sparkling miniature.

SACD Rip | SACD ISO | DST64 2.0 > 1-bit/2.8224 MHz | 01:15:13 minutes | 3,49 GB
Genre: Rock | Vocalion – CDSML 8584

Bachman–Turner Overdrive is the self-titled debut studio album by Canadian rock band Bachman–Turner Overdrive, released in 1973. It was originally to be titled Brave Belt III, following the Brave Belt II album, made by the previous line-up of the group, called Brave Belt.

The album did not produce a true hit single (“Blue Collar” reached #68 on the U.S. Billboard charts and #21 in Canada), but it was certified “Gold” by the RIAA in 1974, largely pulled up by strong sales of Bachman–Turner Overdrive’s next two albums (Bachman–Turner Overdrive II and Not Fragile). “Gimme Your Money Please” and “Little Gandy Dancer” were released on a double A-side single in Canada only. After the release of Bachman–Turner Overdrive II, this first album was often referred to as “BTO 1”.

Record World described “Gimme Your Money Please” as “a hard hitting rocker.”

1974 prog-rock landmark mastered from the original analog master tapes!

Electric Light Orchestra leader Jeff Lynne did more than figuratively reach for the sky on Eldorado. Daring to be bold, and creating imaginative worlds that invite the listener to escape the mundane, the visionary composer-musician achieved a multidisciplinary fantasia and, in the process, a prog-rock landmark. Nearly 50 years later, the concept album’s brilliance can be experienced like never before in cinematic fashion.

David Crosby’s genre-defining psychedelic-folk debut solo album!

Featuring contributions from members of Jefferson Airplane, Santana, the Grateful Dead, CSNY and Joni Mitchell

Numbered, limited edition Hybrid SACD conveys the altered-consciousness aura, natural lushness of the acoustic-based music!

No album personifies the relaxed, loose, albeit troubled early 1970s California aura like If I Could Only Remember My Name. Hallucinogenic, trippy, and akin to a foggy dream you want to last for hours on end, David Crosby’s blissed-out solo debut transcends time and remains a key influence on the contemporary freak-folk scene. A thoroughly unique statement, it lingers as a beautiful convergence of spontaneity, collaboration, circumstance, and recording-studio acumen. Now, more than 50 years after its release, the longtime audiophile favorite has never sounded more ethereal, present, detailed, balanced, or lush.
