Kate Molleson writes ….. The lone cello has played gateway to many a composer’s soul. Bach and Britten, most famously. Ernest Bloch wrote his three solo cello suites in the 1950s, near the end of his life, and they are fleeting and strange. As performed by Natalie Clein, their small scale is poignant – melancholy […]

Not sure why it never dawned on me, but I sat listening to Kansas – Point of No Return, trying to compile a list of other American prog bands, and… nada. Zip. From my own collection, I guess maybe King’s X, and Zebra, but it’s still a pretty poor showing. Ok, some Zappa/Mothers stuff ends […]
Bought this on eBay for around £1.50. On and off yesterday I’ve been listening to her album ‘Filth & Fire’. Usually background listening. However every now and then I’m pulled back to a track here and I have to stop what I’m doing. Two of these are ‘Sugar Cane’ and ‘Camelot Motel’. Terrific stuff. Overall, […]
We are told: The icon of the punk movement, poet and exceptional artist Patti Smith was rarely on stage, that’s why the breath-taking concerts of the legendarymusician were huge highlights.On stage there is just power, music and those messages of Mrs Patti Smith, which made this Rock’n’Roll Queen to a preacher: not more gentle, butcalmer […]

We are told …. EXCEPTIONAL LIVE RECORDING FROM LEONARD COHEN IN ZURICH 1993 Leonard Cohen’s 1993 world tour may well have been the man’s last had he not discovered in 2004 that his manager had been embezzling his earnings – leaving him with little from his long career in music and publishing to assist in […]
The news of Jack Bruce and Robin Trower performing live for the first time spread like wildfire. For more than 40 years the legendary Cream bassist and singer and the immensely talented guitarist of Procol Harum made history in the Rock ‘n’ Roll business. It was in the early 80s when they first collaborated, releasing […]
Both Sides of the Sky is another collection of high-quality studio recordings, dating from 1968-1970. It might surprise some that, 45-plus years after his death, there’s still good material that hasn’t been previously released, but Hendrix was recording nearly all the time at this point, whether they were demos done in his apartment, late-night jamming […]
We are told: All the News That’s Fit to Sing was Phil Ochs’ first official album. Recorded in 1964 for Elektra Records, it was full of many elements that would come back throughout his career.

Hugo Shirley listens to the available recordings of Strauss’s opera and recommends his favourite The original Ariadne auf Naxos (1912), a chamber opera appended to a reworking of Molière’s Le bourgeois gentilhomme, was not a success. Reluctantly, Richard Strauss and Hugo von Hofmannsthal decided to embark upon a reworking of their bold experiment. The Molière […]

Gary Lemco (Audiophile Audition) writes ….. Despite having virtually “retired” from the active concert stage in 1947 in order to fulfill her teaching duties and her parenting role, Nadia Reisenberg (1904-1983) once more commands our attention in a series of chamber (and solo) works organized by her son, producer and commentator Robert Sherman. With the […]
The centenary of Igor Stravinsky’s Le Sacre du printemps was widely celebrated in 2013, and since then recordings have increased dramatically, suggesting that this groundbreaking ballet has lost none of its power to intrigue and enthrall. Alpha’s 2017 recording of a concert by Krzysztof Urbański and the NDR Elbphilharmonie Orchester offers a vivid performance that […]
