By the time of their eighth album, Audio-Visions, Kansas had entered the post-platinum solo-album phase of the typical successful rock group's career. Leaders Kerry Livgren and Steve Walsh were devoting time to making their own records, and Kansas was becoming a part-time occupation. The two divided up the songwriting chores on Audio-Visions, alternating Livgren's always spiritual and by now explicitly religious lyrical sentiments and ornate musical structures with Walsh's earthier and harder-rocking concerns. Livgren's Christian-themed "Hold On" ("Outside the door He is waiting") made the Top 40, and Walsh's "Got to Rock" was a singles-chart entry, but nothing here matched the music from the group's late-'70s heyday. Audio-Visions was the last of seven straight Kansas albums to go gold or platinum and the last album made by the group's most successful lineup. In 1981, Walsh quit. AMG

OST "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" 1960

“The very first project for "Les Liaisons Dangereuses" was to record Thelonious Monk in Paris during a tour that in fact had to be cancelled. Part of the music was recorded by Monk with Sam Jones on bass, Art Taylor on drums, and Charlie Rouse and Barney Wilen on tenor saxes.

You can here this session in the film but it was never issued on record. The second part, which appears on this CD, was recorded over the two days following the session with Thelonious Monk.” Marcel Romano

This CD features one of Babbitt's more 'accessible' pieces: "The Head of the Bed", with a fascinating dream-like text by John Hollander and a wonderful mood; and one of his most difficult: "The Piano Concerto", which is a tough go for even his most ardent admirers.

Rachmaninov & Lutoslawski Paganini Variations - Shostakovich Piano Concerto No.1 (Decca)

The Shostakovich concerto is a good choice, not just as a near contemporary of the Paganini Rhapsody, but as a bridge to the zany world of Lutoslawski. It receives a fluent, well-judged and idiomatic performance with every note in place and some lovely trumpet playing from Raymond Simmons.

Telemann's Musique de Table or “Banquet Music” is unquestionably one of the most important instrumental collections of the baroque era. Published in 1733, it consists of three large sets or “Productions”; each contains an opening orchestral suite, a quartet, a concerto, a trio, a solo, and an orchestral Conclusion. The whole, then, includes eighteen separate pieces.
Each set would have provided appropriate entertainment for a single evening's festivities at one of Europe's several hundred princely or ducal courts.
Telemann himself engraved the pewter plates for the collection, advertised its publication, and secured 206 subscribers from eight countries, among them a “Mr. Hendel” in London.

Home is the ultimate Mother’s Day compilation–a double-disc album complete with the greatest modern bestselling hits including: "You're Beautiful", "Secret Love", "Falling in Love with You Again", "Everlasting Love" and many more. Home is the feel-good and uplifting gift for every mother on Mother’s Day.!

Paul Roland - Happy Families

Paul Roland (born 1959 in Kent, England), ‘England’s psych-pop guru’, must surely qualify as unique amongst cult independent recording artists. Not only is his quintessentially English music alive with 19th century literary references and characters that would not be out of place in the pages of writers as Edgar Allan Poe, Peake, Charles Dickens, H.G. Wells or H.P. Lovecraft, but he is also a serious literary figure in his own right. His preoccupation with the supernatural takes an often whimsical slant in his lyrics. The fanciful and macabre subject matter of Roland’s songs and the baroque styled instrumentation he favours are no doubt partly the reason why he has not achieved the popularity of his contemporaries such as Robyn Hitchcock (who called Roland ‘the male Kate Bush’), but his distinctive style has ensured a loyal cult following in Europe if not in England.
