"Pierre Fournier’s 1965 collaboration with Wilhelm Kempff yielded one of the greatest complete recordings of the Beethoven cello sonatas. Their account of Op. 69 epitomises the nobility and eloquence of these unparalleled interpretations, and CD transfers are remarkably spacious and detailed." (Michael Jameson, BBC Music Magazine)

The year 1786 was one of Mozart's most fruitful, full of diverse works in his most mature vein. It was crowned with the production of the C major Concerto, K. 503, and the "Prague" Symphony. This concerto is the last of the series in C major, and combines with its companion K. 491 in C minor, which in turn succeeded the A major K. 488, to make a trilogy that has been likened to the three great symphonies of two years later.

Dick was a goodwill ambassador for Scientology. He recorded a couple of albums through Capitol that sort of did ok, his voice was tuneful, but no more than any other singer of the day. All in all, you would say he was unremarkable, but he wasn't. He lit up a room and it stayed bright after he left. You knew you had been in the presence of greatness.

This is the first recording of Doles’ complete 6 keyboard sonatas, brilliantly played by Jenny Kim on a period instrument, a fortepiano after Walter, built by Michael Walker. Jenny Kim is also recording a complete cycle of Sonatas by Kozeluch for Brilliant Classics, she pairs a thorough historical knowledge to an infectious musicality and “Spielfreude”.

This album was West's first Christian/Inspirational music album. The album featured all Christian-music songs, that had been well-known and well-acknowledged.

The album received critical acclaim at the time, and nominated West for a Grammy Award for Best Sacred Performance, her first for that category.

Fantaisie Militaire (Military Fantasy) was Alain Bashung's last album of the '90s; it was also his most popular both critically and commercially. He received numerous awards for it, including album of the year and video of the year for the single "La Nuit de Mens" (At Night I Lie). Bashung surrounded himself with a slew of co-writers and musicians for the album, including Édith Fambuena and Jean-Louis Pierot of Les Valentins, Rodolphe Burger of Kat Onoma, Joseph Racaille, and Portishead guitarist Adrian Utley.

Intuitive, creative and playful - Canadian composer, pianist and producer John Kameel Farah dedicates his new album "Strands" to the art of improvisation. Without a specific plan, style or genre. Creativity in its purest form.

Released in 1991, Osez Josephine is the eight studio album by the great French singer/songwriter Alain Bashung. It is chock-full of acoustic rootsy blues, country, and swampy tracks delivered in an immediate, raw manner, without much overdubbing; so little, in fact, it sounds like it was recorded live from the floor in the studio. Standout cuts include the title track, "Volutes," and a very original interpretation of the Moody Blues' "Nights in White Satin."

Sorti en 1992, Tour Novice est le deuxième album live d'Alain Bashung, et offre des extraits de concerts datant de 1987 (tournée Passé Le Rio Grande…) et 1990 (tournée Novice). On sait que Bashung était friand de jeux de mots (son parolier attitré jusqu'en 1989, Boris Bergman, en raffolait aussi), et le nom de l'album en est un beau : Tour Novice, "tournevis". Comme Novice, qui peut se lire normalement, ou "no vice", ou "nos vices". Bashung, accompagné des batteurs François Causse et Jean-My Truong, des guitaristes Olivier Guindon, Toxy, Richard Mortier et Jean Cadic, des bassistes Didier Batard et François Delage, des claviéristes Vic Emerson et Jean-Pierre Pilot, et du saxophoniste Michel Billiez, offre ici des versions remarquables des meilleures chansons de sa période 1981-1989. Même si certains classiques (S.O.S. Amor, Gaby Oh Gaby, Bijou Bijou, Vertige De L'Amour, Elégance, L'Arrivée Du Tour) manquent à l'appel. Elles manquent, elles manquent à la pelle, comme il le chante d'ailleurs sur Résidences, qui manque aussi à l'appel sur ce live.

Live Tour 85 est le premier album live d'Alain Bashung, et comme son nom l'indique, il date de 1985, annee de la sortie d'une chanson qui permettra a Bashung de redevenir bankable, S.O.S. Amor (chanson presente ici) apres deux albums n'ayant pas obtenu de succes. Avec cet album detonnant, Alain Bashung s'impose comme l'un des plus beaux fleurons de la scene rock francaise. Enregistre en banlieue parisienne et en province, il retransmet, intact, l'impact d'un show estampille Bashung. Entre fievre et desinvolture, sueur et sophistication. Les anciens titres, comme les plus recents, y prennent une toute nouvelle dimension.

"After being away in New York for months doing Kinky Boots, I just wanted to hang out at home when I got back to LA. I was so revved up that I asked some friends to come over to my home studio to help me write about all the incredible things I've experienced the last couple of years," said Brendon Urie, Panic! At The Disco frontman. "Pray For The Wicked is my 'thank you' to our fans and the most fun I've ever had making album."

On June 12, 1981, America met Indiana Jones when George Lucas and Steven Spielberg brought Raiders of the Lost Ark to theaters. If George Lucas were to say that he could make terrific entertainment out of Chairman Mao's Little Red Book, at this point I'd be inclined to believe him - this point being just a few hours after seeing his Raiders of the Lost Ark. And if he wanted to bring along Steven Spielberg to direct, I'd believe him even more.
