With their fifth album, 1990's Cowboys from Hell, Pantera introduced the groove metal genre, while its 1992 follow-up Vulgar Display of Power exhibited an even heavier sound.

SUPERB TRIPLE DISC SET OF LIVE BROADCAST RECORDINGS FROM THE 1970s Formed in 1967 as Chicago Transit Authority, Chicago shorted their name in 1969, and throughout the 1970s and 80s were a regular fixture on both single and album charts universally. One of the world's best-selling groups of all time, having sold more than 100 million records, in 1971, Chicago was the first rock act to sell out Carnegie Hall for a week. To date, Chicago has sold over 40 million units in the U.S., with 23 gold, 18 platinum, and eight multi-platinum albums. They have had five consecutive number-one LPs on the Billboard 200 and 20 top-ten singles on the Billboard Hot 100.

Erin Morley is one of today's most sought after coloratura sopranos, and her debut recital album presents a thoughtfully curated program which mirrors a stroll through a garden, delving into rich repertoire inspired by flowers, birds, and nature. Morley, known for her operatic roles, draws on connections to the natural world, offering a mix of well-known pieces, contemporary compositions, and hidden gems. A notable feature is the premiere recording of Ricky Ian Gordon's "Huit Chansons de Fleurs," a contemporary song cycle exploring themes of death, resurrection, fragrance, and the fleeting nature of beauty, adding a layer of poignancy to an album which features a diverse selection of vocal repertoire. Among the album's highlights is Saint-Saëns's "La Libellule," a rarely heard gem capturing the agile movement of a dragonfly. Sullivan's "Rose-in-Bloom" stands out as the first to present the aria in its original key, the heights of the final cadenza just one example of Morley’s extraordinary performance of the repertoire. The program also includes compositions by Rachmaninov, Zemlinsky, and Milhaud, exploring further connections to the themes of blossoms and birds. "Rose in Bloom" is an exploration of nature's influence on music, a testament to Erin Morley's artistry and originality, and a delightful journey through a garden of musical encounters.

Leonor de Lera has chosen the "Arcadia" described in Greek mythology as a transfigured place in idyllic nature as the title for her new CD. The genre of the pastorale, the Arcadian pastoral idyll, enjoyed incredible popularity during the
Renaissance and all the great poets of the time wrote poems that were in turn set to madrigals by the great composers. Leonor de Lera plays a selection of such pastorals on her violin - accompanied by lute and guitar. She does this, as was customary for Renaissance and early Baroque instrumentalists, by not playing the melodies true to the notes, but by embellishing them with so-called "diminutions". There were many schools and styles for these, which are described in treatises of the time, and the virtuoso also demonstrated his skills with his art of diminution. The violinist now applies the different styles to the various pieces she has chosen for this programme, which are by Monteverdi, Caccini, Falconieri, Trombocino, Willaert and many others. The result is a stylistically diverse, highly virtuosic CD that is also a comprehensive compendium of the art of diminution in Italy around 1600.

On a list of instruments people associate with the name Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the organ probably doesn't come very near the top. All those piano, violin, horn, flute concertos and more understandably dominate the limelight. Yet there's a small but significant body of music by Mozart for this instrument - one that played an important role in his employment at Salzburg and which he held in high esteem.

Seit über einem halben Jahrhundert gilt das von Paul Van Nevel gegründete Huelgas Ensemble als eines der weltbesten Vokalensembles für Alte Musik. Nach zahllosen, preisgekrönten Aufnahmen mit Werken aus dem Mittelalter und der Renaissance widmen sie sich mit Max Reger (1873-1916) erstmals ausschließlich einem Komponisten aus der Spätromantik.Reger ist wahrscheinlich am besten für seine symphonischen und Orgelwerke bekannt, während sein Vokalrepertoire weitgehend in Vergessenheit geraten ist. Zu Unrecht, wie Paul van Nevel meint, denn er ist ein großer Fan der polyphonen Musik Max Regers. Mit dieser Aufnahme demonstriert er eindrücklich, welche Intensität, Tiefe, Vielfalt und Qualität Regers Musik bietet.

Avec ce double album, Anna Danilevskaia, violiste virtuose, et son Ensemble Sollazzo concluent l'enregistrement du Manuscrit de Louvain. L'exceptionnelle découverte, en 2015, de ce manuscrit émanant du centre de la France et daté approximativement de 1475 enrichit et renouvelle notre connaissance de la chanson de langue française du milieu du XVe siècle. En effet, sur les 49 chansons séculières qu'il rassemble, 12 ne figurent dans aucune autre source. Si aucune indication d'auteur ne figure dans le manuscrit, les chercheurs ont pu, par recoupements, attribuer nombre d'entre elles à des compositeurs déjà connus ; d'autres restent anonymes. Ce sont bien sûr des chansons d'amour, ballades, lais et virelais. Dominent naturellement dans cet album des compositeurs franco-flamands de la cour des ducs de Bourgogne, comme Antoine Busnois, Hayne van Ghizeghem, Gilles Binchois, ou encore l'Anglais Robert Morton. Mais on y trouve aussi des chansons d'autres compositeurs nordiques ayant oeuvré pour la cour des rois de France, comme Firminus Caron et Johannes Ockeghem, ainsi qu'un représentant de la « contenance angloise », Walter Frye. Ainsi qu’un certain Barbingant dont on ne sait rien d'autre que son « Au travail suis » fut la base d'une messe parodique d'Ockeghem. L’Ensemble Sollazzo nous aura offert de ce manuscrit richement enluminé une lecture passionnante, fraîche, variée, éclatante, osée mais convaincante. (Marc Galand)
