Stefania Argentieri is a young Italian pianist of consummate skill – so necessary to give full expression to the piano music of Tchaikovsky, much of which remains strangely under-appreciated. She has won many awards and has performed at prestigious events in Europe and the USA.

Karl Richter (October 15, 1926 – February 15, 1981) was a German conductor, organist, and harpsichordist.

Oscar Peterson's series of recordings for Hans Georg Brunner-Schwer during the 1960s and early '70s are one of many high points in his long career.

This album is dedicated to the memory of both Ariane 'Ari Up' Forster and Lincoln Valentine 'Style' Scott with whom the project started. 'Dub No Frontiers' is inspired by and features women vocalists we knew from the UK or had met while travelling around the world. Many of the singers said they felt the Dub/Reggae arena was a bit of a male preserve and a little intimidating even, so we decided to invite artistes to perform a song of their choice, all in non-English on our rhythm tracks. The idea was to then try and evolve DNF into a powerful live show and to tour with a core of vocalists, musicians and guests…

Mary Frances Penick, better known as Skeeter Davis, was an American country music singer who sang crossover pop music songs. She started out as part of the Davis Sisters as a teenager in the late 1940s, eventually landing on RCA Victor. In the late 1950s, she became a solo star. One of the first women to achieve major stardom in the country music field as a solo vocalist, she was an acknowledged influence on Tammy Wynette and Dolly Parton and was hailed as an "extraordinary country/pop singer" by The New York Times music critic Robert Palmer.

Pianist/composer Yelena Eckemoff defines radiance as "a state of happiness or confidence when everything around you is shining". On her 2014's album, "A Touch of Radiance", she explores that idea from 10 different perspectives, drawing rich inspiration from memories, emotions, and dreams, and the inner world where all three intersect. Her quintet here's Mark Turner, Joe Locke, George Mraz & Billy Hart. These four gifted artists respond gorgeously to Eckemoff's music, wringing bold colors and deep feeling from pieces that are both airy and intricate.

The unjustly neglected and often dissident music of Ruth Gipps is with this album finding all the resonance it deserves by Rumon Gamba and the BBC National Orchestra of Wales, having already championed many British composers from the twentieth century with their series devoted to British Tone Poems and Overtures from the British Isles. While, not surprisingly, there are echoes of the most popular composers of the time – Sibelius, Walton, and Vaughan Williams – the music is notable for its personal voice, confident conception, and vivid writing for the orchestra.

Grammy-winning keyboardist/composer Robert Glasper has been alluring audiences with his hybrid style, which incorporates jazz, neo-soul, R&B and hip-hop elements. One of his top outings was Black Radio, released 10 years ago on the Blue Note Records, and the timing to celebrate it couldn’t have been better than now, with the third installment of the series. However, despite being thematically strong, this glossily produced music aims for a more commercial path that often doesn’t impress me.
