The baroque ensemble Oslo Circles is back at the Opera with its brand new concert program of captivating, surprising, slightly crazy (or completely insane?) Italian and Austrian baroque music from the 17th century.

This eleventh volume adds the three juvenile concertos which Mozart composed in 1771 - 72, all re-writes of keyboard sonatas by J.C. Bach. Bach had been something of a mentor to Mozart whilst he was living in London (1764 – 65) and these concertos not only draw on Bach’s thematic material, but are very much in the gallant style of which Bach was a leading proponent. Converting the sonatas into concertos presented Mozart with numerous challenges, as both forms were subject to relatively strict conventions that were markedly different.

Trois ans après le succès public et critique de Tambour Vision, Bertrand Belin poursuit son chemin atypique avec Watt, son huitième album. Avec son complice le musicien et producteur Thibault Frisoni, Belin a conçu Watt comme un disque de “prières païennes pour ses congénères”. L’humanisme du chanteur se ressent notamment dans le morceau Seul (qui rappelle certains bijoux de Gérard Manset) ou bien dans Certains jours, sorte de valse pour piano qui permet à Belin de se laisser aller à une certaine tendresse. Dans Rembobine, le chanteur d’origine bretonne se transforme en crooner désenchanté. Et avec Pluie de data, l’humanisme de Belin se mue en post-humanisme : à l’heure de la technologie toute-puissante, il se penche sur le déclin des idéaux dans une chanson à la force poétique fascinante.

Although gone too soon at age 64 in 2002, Waylon Jennings' legacy continues to live on thanks to his son, Grammy-winning producer Waylon Albright "Shooter" Jennings. The younger Jennings is assembling a trio of albums sourced from a trove of high-resolution transfers of multitrack material recorded between 1973 and 1984 that was unreleased at the time of his father's passing. The first collection, Songbird, is headlined by Waylon's surprisingly heartfelt take on Christine McVie's "Songbird" (which closed side one of Fleetwood Mac's 1977 blockbuster, Rumours). Shooter wisely brought guitarist Gordon Payne and bassist Jerry Bridges—surviving members of his father's band, The Waylors—to refresh these tracks. "Songbird" also features new background vocals from Ashley Monroe and Elizabeth Cook. While the exact recording dates and personnel of these cuts are not apparent, together they add up to a coherent album with the kind of flow and storytelling that made Waylon's best albums so essential.

Containing eleven brand new tracks, including their raucous take on surprise single and ‘Beetlejuice’ staple ‘Jump In The Line’, Ad Astra sees Blur guitarist Graham Coxon appear on two particularly sassy songs and catches the perennial power-pop kings in especially rocket-fuelled form.

James Morrison’s new album Fight Another Day is born of difficult times and heavy emotions but one that, ultimately, leans into the light and joy and hope. Written after a period of reflection and therapy, the songs deal with his own struggles, childhood, and personal battles, with Morrison saying, “Every day being a bit of a battle. Trying to eke the light out after what felt like darkness for ages.” From the defiant title track to the soul-baring Something I Can’t Forget and the feelgood New Day, the album captures a wide emotional spectrum. “I'm really proud of the album in terms of the creative, sonic elements and how I dealt with truthful stuff,” he says, “but also… it's an album of songs that hopefully make you feel better and make you nod your head and stamp your feet and singalong.”

Rocket have had a busy few years. The Los Angeles crew with friendships stretching back to their childhood formed in 2021, convening in an unmarked shed to put their debut EP to tape. Despite it being the first time Alithea Tuttle (vocals, bass), Baron Rinzler (Guitar), Cooper Ladomade (Drums) and Desi Scaglione (Guitar) had ever seriously approached the idea of a ‘band,’ they seemed to arrive fully formed with combustible, airtight songs.

Leonor Watling, renowned actress and singer, embarks on a new musical adventure alongside musician and composer Leo Sidran.

Meanwhile, Leo, a fan of Leonor’s acting, connected with her music thanks to Marlango and his friendship with Jorge Drexler, the Uruguayan singer-songwriter and Watling’s husband.

Johansen is not the first guitarist to record this entire collection, but he might be the best to do so.
Some people, myself included, have better relationships with animal friends than they do with other human beings. Even so, friendships between men and animals have their own complications, in part because of the element of control. For example, I don't let my cats run free outside, and they pretty much eat what I expect them to eat when I expect them to eat it. I can't do that with any of my human friends! Platero y Yo (“Platero and I”) is Juan Ramón Jiménez's collection (an Andalusian elegy), published in 1914, of 138 prose poems about the relationship between a first-person poet, in a Spanish village that has seen better days, and a small silver-colored donkey named Platero.

"As a Japanese cellist, Michiaki Ueno wishes to introduce the world to the remarkable body of music composed in his homeland. At first glance, this might seem like a conventional statement - something anyone might say. Yet, when we consider his background, the words take on a different weight. Born in Paraguay (1995) and raised in Spain during his early years, Michiaki Ueno was captivated at the age of four by a video of Yo-Yo Ma. He received his first cello as a Christmas gift when he was five - marking the beginning of his musical journey. For someone like Ueno, Japan was both his homeland and a distant, unfamiliar place. “I never really thought deeply about Japanese culture,” he reflects.
