The Peruvian band We All Together, though unknown beyond a core cluster of cultists, was among the prime exponents of Beatlesque pop/rock in the early '70s. Led by singer and frequent composer Carlos Guerrero, who (along with some other members) had been in the Peruvian rock band Laghonia, they released two albums (singing in English) in the first half of the '70s. These were fashioned after the lighter side of the late-'60s Beatles, particularly in the vocal harmonies, melodic tunes, and sophisticated arrangements blending keyboards, acoustic guitars, and electric guitars in a graceful manner. Although Lennon, McCartney, and for that matter, Harrison's influence, show up in We All Together's work, they had more of an affinity for McCartney's engaging melodicism, to the point of covering some obscure, early McCartney solo tunes.

The legendary Danish pop duo is celebrating their 40th anniversary with a new album. With a staggering record sale in the multimillion class and indelible classics like Sunshine Reggae, White Horse and Bakerman on the conscience, this year Laid Back can celebrate 40 years of fruitful collaboration. However, the stylish Danish pop duo looks ahead rather than back, which means that on the occasion of their anniversary they have made a brand new album entitled Healing Feeling. The new album is believed to have come to the world in Laid Back's own studio at Vesterbro in Copenhagen, where the duo, made up of the couple John Guldberg and Tim Stahl, have had their steady base ever since the beginning of their career.

…The King's Consort under the direction of Robert King perform the Overture-Suites from the Second and Third Productions of Telemann's anthology…I find the new issue delightful, both musically and from a performance standpoint. The players capture the spirit of the Overture-Suite in D major (Second Production) with pleasing tempos, crisp articulation, taut rhythms and fine ensemble. The trumpet has an important role in this Suite and here it is played with finesse by Crispian Steele-Perkins—resonant, authoritative but never overbearing. Oboes are kept busy, too, as indeed is the leader, Roy Goodman who gives a lively account of the several concertante passages for violin. His presence has contributed much to the ultimate success of this project.

Italian Baroque composer Alessandro Stradella (1639-1682) is known for his dramatic life, whose watchwords were sex and violence; he was stabbed to death, right under the nose of his bodyguard, by assassins sent out by the husband of a nobleman whose wife he had seduced. His music is just beginning to enter general circulation, and it's as exciting as one might imagine, with plenty of vocal acrobatics to challenge even the best singers. The "serenade" featured on this Italian release, Vola, vola in altri petti (Fly, fly to other hearts), is a work for four singers, about 40 minutes long; it contains recitatives and arias, along with an opening instrumental sinfonia and a dance interlude.

The first album of the trilogy devoted to Ramon Llull includes a selection of pieces that represents some of the most important genres of the time of Ramon Llull, as well as some of the most representative authors. It offers a musical journey that accompanies the first development stages of Lull’s life, since the moment that begins his radical change to the intellectual illumination, which is attributed to a divine origin-, and that will lead him to Ars. “Conversion, study and contemplation“ illustrates Ramon Llull ‘s youth devoted to sensual pleasures, love and the cultivation of troubadour lyric poetry, from the perspective of a person who left world vanities.
