"Some Pills for Ayala" is the solo project of Chilean musician Néstor Ayala Cortés, known for heavy psych, stoner, and space rock music. Reviews praise his work for its blend of heavy riffs, psychedelic and spacey sounds, catchy rhythms, and high-quality musicianship, despite being a one-person project. The music is described as trippy and fuzzy.

Over sixty well-known keyboard sonatas by Joseph Haydn (some of them of uncertain authorship) constitute a very interesting and diverse collection; nevertheless, they still have not been explored enough. As a continuum, they are not as coherent as the sonatas by Ludwig van Beethoven, each of which is a masterpiece. By contrast, Haydn’s complete sonatas can serve (and often do) as a model for explaining the evolution of the genre norms and deviations from them. The sonata oeuvre (as well as chamber or symphonic) of the oldest representative of the First Viennese School is a genuine melting pot of search for a new, nascent style, moving away from the Baroque era and the galant style (almost half of the keyboard sonatas were created rather for harpsichord). Some of these pieces are mainly didactic, but many are works of a mature talent and an expression of a very individual approach to the issues of form and texture, which do not easily fit into the text- book ‘lines of development’.

Lamia Yared and Efrén López announce their new album From Minho to Euphrates - bridging eight centuries of sacred and secular traditions.

Música Callada – The Music of Silence. Is this a provocation? A challenge? Or perhaps a stylistic exercise? For Mompou, none of all that was the case. He was simply reacting against his time, taking refuge from it, and he considered this solo piano cycle to be his most accomplished work. His universe is based on the mystical framework he constructs around one of the verses of the Spiritual Canticle of St John of the Cross: ‘Night stilled at the awakening of dawn, hushed music, echoing solitude…’ ‘With this fascinating world as the starting point,’ explains Guillaume Coppola, ‘I wanted to reflect it in the mirror of more “music of silence”: partly by choosing works by composers whose influence Mompou had personally acknowledged, partly by freely associating other pieces that seem to share this world and to respond to each other.’

Experience Saint-Saëns’s Symphony No. 3 “Organ” as never before – a breathtaking performance led by Yannick Nézet-Séguin with the Orchestre Métropolitain, recorded in the luminous acoustics of Montréal’s Oratoire Saint-Joseph. The music’s grandeur, from the deep resonance of the organ to the glowing orchestral textures, is captured with audiophile precision – every detail alive, every emotion palpable. A recording where power meets purity of sound.

Tina Turner was a singer, songwriter, actress and author.

For four decades, Spanish guitarist Paco de Lucia's jazzy, Mephisto-like technique redefined flamenco. This album, which means 'Good Small Things,' is de Lucia’s first release in five years, and it's been worth the wait. Most of the eight tracks feature just de Lucia, a chorus of vocalists, percussion, and the zesty handclaps called palmas. Lucia and company take you through the Moorish, Jewish, and Gypsy inventions and dimensions of flamenco, from the buleria 'Patio Custodio' and the torrid tientos 'El Tesorillo' to the moody, mid-tempo buleria por solea 'Antonia'. Guitarists Juan D’ Anyelica and Tomatito join de Lucia on 'El Dengue', and 'Que Vengo el Alba', which also features a vocal track from the late singer Camaron de la Isla. The last song, 'Casa Bernardo', with bassist Alain Perez, jazz trumpeter Jerry Gonzalez, and Latin pop star Alejandro Sanz on the guitar-like tres, foreshadows the future of this ancient and inventive art form.

There’s a myth about second albums—that they’re difficult, even “cursed.” But for me, Stella felt like a walk in the park compared to my debut. Nova, released in 2024, was my first solo album. The process was intense and overwhelming, but I’m deeply proud of the result.
