After these three Fania stars’ success with their initial release of Asalto Navideño Vol. I, they rewarded us a year later with Asalto Navideño Vol. II. Many consider this album to be even better than the first.

By 1977 England was in the throes of punk, a musical revolution that held hugely successful "dinosaur" rock groups in contempt.

David Gilmour's Live in Gdansk was recorded and filmed in 2006 at the Polish city's shipyards, the very same historic location where Lech Walesa's Solidarity movement began its populist assault on the country's repressive Soviet-installed regime in 1980.

The ninth studio album by KISS is, perhaps, most significant for being the band’s greatest misstep.

Esa-Pekka Salonen and the San Francisco Symphony deliver a commanding new interpretation of Stravinsky’s Symphony in Three Movements, released on SFS Media. With precision, power, and crystalline clarity, Salonen illuminates the rhythmic vitality and architectural brilliance of Stravinsky’s post-war masterpiece. The orchestra’s dynamic range and refined textures bring fresh urgency to the work’s angular energy and cinematic scope, capturing both its modernist bite and emotional depth. Stravinsky: Symphony in Three Movements stands as a testament to Salonen’s deep affinity for 20th-century repertoire and the San Francisco Symphony’s world-class artistry.

Daughter of South-American legend Violeta Parra, Isabel Parra learned to sing and play at an early age. "Music was a language fluently spoken at home", she says. In 1965, with the help of brother Angel Parra, she founded the very renowned "Peña de los Parra" - artistic center and "Art Lab" where started musical movement "la Nueva Cancion Chilena" (New Chilean Song). Here, in the center of old Santiago, chilean icon Victor Jara (a young comedian and theatre director in those days !) took a guitar and started to sing traditional and original songs.

Avec « Le Disque bleu », Benjamin Biolay signe l’un des plus brillants albums de la décennie. Un classique instantané où il endosse l’héritage de la grande chanson française et aborde des thèmes forts –Dieu, la mort, l’amour, notre pays…– avec profondeur, rythme et humour.

On a New Street might be the ne plus ultra of the group's post-1960s achievements. A "lost" album from the sweetest period of Thom Bell's storied career, the Bell side captures producer and vocalists at the peak of their powers. Gourdine's recognizably pinched vocal tones contrast with those of, say, Philippe Wynne of The Spinners or Russell Thompkins, Jr. of The Stylistics, but Bell instinctively knew how to surround that voice with a soft cushion of soulful accompaniment provided by MFSB. Throughout the five songs on "The Thom Bell Side" of On a New Street, Gourdine has ample chance to fly solo, with The Imperials contributing their impeccable harmonies at just the right moments.

EGO ON THE ROCKS was a late 70's project of keyboard player Detlev Schmidtchen and drummer Jürgen Rosenthal, two ELOY members who had left the band after the release of " Silent Cries and Mighty Echoes" to explore a bit more Morlockian musical avenues. They had originally planned their project as the first of a trilogy, but the album's poor commercial performance and a subsequent threat of financial ruin gave them a kick in the rocks which deflated their egos somewhat.

In 2007, Sharon was nominated an ‘inspirational woman of the world’ with her portrait appearing in the National Gallery. Her achievement as musician, conductor and entrepreneur is featured in Zerbanoo Gifford’s book Confessions to a Serial Womaniser.

It was originally published as Symphony No. 4.
