The First Lady of Song Returns to Berlin, Home of Her Legendary Concerts. Recorded in 1962 but NEVER released, hear the most popular jazz singer of all time deliver an iconic performance at Sportpalast Berlin for the first time. This recording finds Ella and her band at the top of their game recorded in HIGH FIDELITY STEREO. With only two songs repeated from her hit record “Mack The Knife” two years earlier, this undiscovered recording stands on its own.

In November 2019, at a sold-out show in London’s Hammersmith Apollo, Steve Hackett performed the legendary Genesis album Selling England By The Pound in its entirety. Steve and his band also played tracks from Spectral Mornings (celebrating its 40th anniversary), At The Edge Of Light, and A Trick Of The Tail.

Recorded live at Madison Square Garden, November 7, 2009.

Immaginiamo di essere in un museo. Varcato l'atrio, ecco aprirsi davanti a noi una lunga galleria con i muri bianchi e la volta a botte segnata da un grande lucernario. Il mare di luce che da lì discende illumina le pareti sulle quali sono appesi - allineati ad altezza regolare e valorizzati da cornici d'oro - una sessantina di quadri. Già al primo colpo d'occhio, ci si rende conto che questi quadri appartengono a un unico genere: quello dei ritratti. Attenzione, però, siamo dinnanzi a ritratti piuttosto speciali. Sono ritratti di artisti, storici dell'arte, mercanti, collezionisti e - per finire - i "nemici" giurati delle precedenti quattro categorie, ovvero i falsari. Se ci si posiziona davanti ad essi, questi non si limitano a guardarci e fissarci in assoluto silenzio come farebbe normalmente ogni ritratto che si rispetti. No, questi ritratti - quando si accorgono di essere osservati - cominciano autonomamente a parlare e a raccontare. E diventano degli autentici fiumi in piena.

The resounding success Handel’s Messiah encountered the first time it was presented in Dublin in 1742 set the scene for its future. The oratorio depicts the Sacred History of Christ in three parts: the Nativity, Christ’s Passion and Resurrection and finally, Redemption. The alternance of airs and choirs is perfect and Handel’s musical knowledge infallible. Messiah quickly became the composer’s most successful work. It was played thirty-six times during his lifetime and has continued to be presented to modern day, embodying just how majestic and sublime music can be. During its première in London, King George II was so moved by the mythical Hallelujah! that he could not help but leap to his feet, with the entire audience following his lead. In the sumptuous Royal Chapel at Versailles, Hervé Niquet leads four impassioned soloists and a tremulous choir to the height of Handel’s most resplendent baroque edifice!
