As great as the anticipation for a new studio album by Barbra Streisand was, so frowning at first the view on the concept. There is nothing new here, but just another CD of the brand "I'll just take some old songs and play them anew". Michael Bublé recently proved that this doesn't always go well with the boring "Meets Madison Square Garden". Now, the Streisand, also with nothing else in the Luggage as primarily Tunes of the Thirties and Forties. But take care: For many reasons "Love Is The Answer" means perhaps the most beautiful Streisand album of the last twenty years.

Trumpeter and crooner Till Bronner was the most famous German jazz musician of his generation, updating traditional bebop sensibilities via elements of contemporary R&B and hip-hop. That Summer, his 2004's album, features the pop-jazz artists smooth, laid-back horn style. Included are such originals as "Your Way to Say Goodbye", and "Ready or Not" as well as Brönner's take on the standards "Bein' Green" and "When Your Lover Has Gone". This album reached number 16 on the German pop charts and made him the nation's biggest-selling jazz artist of all time.

Some of Jean-Nicolas Diatkine's singer friends have ended their careers, but their magic is irreplaceable in his eyes, or rather in his ears. He misses them, just as he misses the Schubert, Schumann and Brahms songs they sang. Well, there is only one person who can compensate for this loss, and his name is Franz Liszt.

The Dresdner Philharmonie, Sächsischer Staatsopernchor Dresden and conductor Daniel Oren present Verdi’s masterpiece La Traviata, together with a stellar cast including René Barbera as Alfredo, Lester Lynch as Germont, and world star soprano Lisette Oropesa as Violetta.

Singer-songwriter Adam Green was in his teens when he co-founded the cult-favorite anti-folk band The Moldy Peaches. The group went on hiatus in 2004, though it's recently performed together since its songs were featured prominently in the film Juno. Now 26, Green has just released his fifth solo CD, titled Sixes & Sevens…

A brilliant swordsman, athlete, violin virtuoso and composer, Joseph Bologne, Chevalier de Saint-Georges might well lay claim to being the most talented figure in an age of remarkable individuals. The string quartet was still in its infancy in France in the 1770s, but while these pieces are small in scale they are exceptionally rewarding. Saint-Georges appreciated the intimate nature of this genre, avoiding overt soloistic virtuosity and exploring chamber music timbres, amply demonstrating his rich lyrical gifts and a natural ability to delight performers and audiences alike.

Though the music of Ernst Gottlieb Baron (1696–1760) is scarcely known to the wider public, the complete edition of his surviving compositions presented by Jan W.J. Burgers in 2005 (which forms the basis for the recordings on this CD) offers an excellent opportunity to study and perform the works of this late Baroque master and restore them to the status they deserve.

On their new album "Baroque in Blue", Eckart Runge & Jacques Ammon explore the field of tension between two musical epochs and genres that are separated by more than 200 years. Baroque and jazz have much more in common than one might think at first glance: walking basso continuo, the joy of spontaneity and, last but not least, the high art of improvisation.

Around a quarter of a century ago, scholars embarked upon fruitful research into composers active between the mid-19th century and the lead-up to World War One, many largely hitherto ignored by all but music historians, consisting of at least two generations who focused either on ‘absolute’ music (in central Europe) or music for the theatre (in Italy and France). Philipp Scharwenka (1847–1917) was one such figure.
