On her first PENTATONE album, Czech star mezzo-soprano Magdalena Kožená returns to the baroque repertoire that launched her early career. Il giardino dei sospiri is a collection of scenes from secular cantatas on tragic love, ranging from Handel’s Qual ti riveggio to new editions of works by Leo (Angelica e Medoro), Marcello (Arianna abbandonata) and Gasparini (Atalia). These vocal works are connected through instrumental pieces by Handel (sinfonia of Agrippina), Vinci (sinfonia from Maria dolorata) and Sarro.

On this album, we have juxtaposed the work of two musicians who, at a first glance, don't have anything in common. One is Jean Cras, captain of a french ship and a dilettante musician born at the turn of the twentieth century, the other is Ludwig van Beethoven, who needs no introduction. And yet, if we decided to use a looking glass and examine the threads that bind all human destiny together, we would realize that Cras read the works of Beethoven religiously before going on watch, and maybe this man who was subject to the whims of Mother Nature had found in the great composer a master who himself was used to great internal tempests.

Voltamos a falar aqui sobre música instrumental de qualidade e, ao mesmo tempo, voltamos a falar sobre grandes músicos que por problemas contratuais usavam pseudônimos para lançar seus discos por outras gravadoras entre o fim dos anos 50 e início dos anos 60.

DGM and Panegyric are proud to present King Crimson’s Heroes EP – recorded live on the European tour of 2016. The title track sees Robert Fripp reprise the unforgettable guitar role he created for the original David Bowie studio recording in the same city in 1977, particularly poignant in the year of Bowie's death. Also featured on the EP are a ten minutes recording of Easy Money (Paris), a song that varies in length and solos from night to night and is always a fan favourite, an edited version (featuring the “song section”) of Crim Classic Starless often a set closer, always a stand-out moment and a recording of the three drummers’ showpiece The Hell Hounds of Krim (both from Vienna) – all previously unreleased live recordings.

It has been stated many times that King Crimson is not so much a band as it is “a way of doing things”. Less frequently stated but equally true, is the fact that the band inevitably seeks different ways of doing things.

Born in Rio de Janeiro, her father was a serenader who played guitar, and her mother was an amateur singer.

Las raíces del blues son tan profundas que arraigan a los desarraigados. Están presentes en el bop, en la tradición, en la vanguardia; están presentes siempre. Nacido en 1943 en Texas, Estados Unidos, Billy Harper defiende todavía el sonido de una generación, que siente y da forma propia a la billy-harper-black-saintmarca de Coltrane. Y claro, como obliga el jazz, mirando para adelante.

It probably wasn't by design that Teedra Moses released her second proper album – this one – over a decade after Complex Simplicity. Unlike D'Angelo and Bilal, fellow beloved R&B artists whose first and second albums were released after similarly protracted gaps, Moses was able to placate her cult audience with scattered singles, mixtapes, and an EP. The singer, songwriter, and arranger also kept it guessing with ever-changing album plans and by aligning with Rick Ross' Maybach Music Group.

Throughout her career, Angie Stone rose in stature to become one of the pioneers of nu-soul, alongside her compatriots (and ex) D’Angelo, Erykah Badu, and Maxwell. This privileged status allowed her to work with the largest names in the business, including Mary J. Blige, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Mantronix, and even Lenny Kravitz. For the recording of this, her seventh album, the South Carolina born singer decamped with the producer Walter W. Millsap III, who previously worked with both Mariah Carey and Jennifer Lopez.
