Nearly a full decade after the release of Us, Peter Gabriel finally returned with new music in the summer of 2002 – but it wasn't a new studio album, it was the soundtrack to Phillip Noyce's return to independent Australian cinema, Rabbit-Proof Fence. The film tells the true story of three Aboriginal girls who make a return to their home after being abducted by the government to serve as domestic help to a white family in 1931; as they make their journey through the Outback to their home, they follow the Rabbit-Proof Fence, which had been constructed to prevent animals deemed agricultural pests – including rabbits, dingoes, and foxes – from crossing into Western Australia agricultural lands.

One of the major figures among 15th century Franco-Flemish composers, Johannes Ockeghem was maestro di cappella in the royal courts of Charles VII and Louis XI, as well as a cleric at Notre Dame de Paris, and he was widely admired for his fourteen Masses, including the celebrated Requiem. Scholarly attention has been beneficial to Ockeghem's choral music, which thrives on modern recordings, though his songs have often been relegated to second-class status, and recordings of the chansons have been few and far between.

The outstanding pianist Anna Kavalerovas program on this CD includes such masterpieces as the deeply philosophical Symphonic Etudes by Robert Schumann, Rachmaninovs highly emotional and tragic Variations on a Theme by Corelli, and brilliant Variations by Kapustin, a cycle full of charm, good humour, and virtuosity. Listening to this CD we can enjoy the monumental program of three cycles of variations.

Fuoco di gioia' – at the beginning of Verdi’s Otello, the compatriots of the victorious protagonist cheer his triumphant return to his home port with a vocal 'fire of joy'. The opera quote is also the title of this new CD recently recorded by the Bavarian Radio Chorus, together with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester under its chief conductor Ivan Repušić. The opera chorus from “Otello” begins this selection of famous choruses and instrumental pieces from stage works of Italian belcanto (Verdi), Italian verismo (Leoncavallo, Puccini, Mascagni), Russian opera (Borodin, Glinka, Tchaikovsky), and the romantic operas of Richard Wagner. These very recent recordings from January, February and July 2019 contain well-known and enjoyable melodies that are perfect for singing along to (secretly or otherwise)!

On his recently released Offenbach CD featuring some of this composer’s unknown overtures, 'Howard Griffiths is able to generate sparkling moments, dramatic buildups of suspense, highly expressive lyrical designs, and frequently suddenly occurring shifts of mood with absolutely outstanding success' (klassik-heute.com). And the latest Offenbach interpretation by Griffiths also does perfect justice to this composer’s highly effectively instrumented and melodically very appealing music while transmitting infectious zest for life. Orphée aux Enfers was Offenbach’s first international success and perhaps his most performed opera throughout the world – a landmark establishing a new genre known as the »Offenbachiade« and standing for societal satire in the form of music theater. The present CD offers the essence of the orchestral numbers and ballet inserts composed for the version of Orpheus in the Underworld from 1874. The rediscovery of the magnificent ballet L’Atlantide or Le Royaume de Neptune (The Realm of Neptune) and its recording premiere on this CD qualify as nothing short of sensational.

After 10 years as Principal Conductor, Vladimir Jurowski made this concerto recording to showcase some of the amazing musicians who play next to each other every day in the London Philharmonic Orchestra.
