Japanese keyboardist and innovator in the field of music therapy, Fumio Miyashita has created Meditation, an album that fuels the healing mechanism of the body, mind and spirit. It is, in short, a harmonic convergence brought to its highest and best use. The repetitive sounds on his compositions are perpetuated by nature sounds. The combination is wholly organic-sounding and soothing. The music is slow and rhythmic, echoing patterns used in nature and creating environments that promote feelings of well-being. Fumio lets a note hang in an empty soundlessness as though that single note was the only thing that mattered. ~ MusD, All Music Guide
Keyboard artist Fumio is one of the most popular artists in his genre, having released over 50 albums in Japan. In the late 1970s, Fumio studied acupuncture in Los Angeles and returned to Japan where he became a master and innovator in the field of music therapy. He was born and raised in the mountains of Nagano and went on to perform in the ground-breaking rock musical Hair. Founder of the Far East Family Band, Japan's first progressive rock band, Fumio played alongside Kitaro and released the hit album Cave Down to the Earth in Japan and England.

For the first time ever EMI Classics are making available, in two handsome sets, the complete recordings that Karajan made for EMI between the years 1946 to 1984. The first set of 88 CDs comprises all the orchestral and concerto recordings and the second set, of 72 CDs, the Choral and Opera recordings. Both sets can be acquired at bargain prices, presenting a rare opportunity to add these historically important recordings to your collection. The last discs in each set (88 & 72 respectively) contain all the libretti, sung texts, a selection of photographs and a series of interviews with musicians who knew and worked with Karajan.

Originally issued in May 1997 and one of the clear successes of EMI's Debut series, this disc was a major contributory factor to Adès' success. It is still difficult to believe that Adès was born as recently as 1971, such is the sureness of the compositional hand at work in these pieces. Since then awards and commissions have followed each other in bullet-like succession (he was the youngest ever recipient of the Grawemeyer Prize for his orchestral work Asyla, Op. 17, for example). He has acted as the Hallé's Composer-in-Residence (which in fact resulted in Asyla, as well as The Origin of the Harp) and he has produced an opera, Powder her Face, of international significance. In addition, he has let his talents as pianist and conductor develop (his solo piano disc on CDC5 57051-2 is an impressive achievement). Being in possession of such enviable pianistic gifts makes Adès the ideal interpreter of his own piano music. He makes the complexities of Traced Overhead (1996) seem easy (other pianists performances reveal this clearly not to be the case). Darknesse Visible, a 'recomposing' of Dowland's In darknesse let me dwell, likewise exhibits an astonishing variety of textures. In short, there is plenty to provoke thought here, and much to make one wonder in which this direction this composer will travel in the future.

A Quiet Place is an American opera in three acts, with music by Leonard Bernstein to a libretto by Stephen Wadsworth. The work is a sequel to Bernstein's earlier short opera Trouble in Tahiti. In its initial form, A Quiet Place was in one act, and followed Trouble in Tahiti after the intermission. The first performance was on 17 June 1983 by the Houston Grand Opera.

Long out of print, Dynasty represents an interesting period in the artistic life of Getz, well out of pure bop, in between his commercial successes with Brazilian music, and on the verge of another phase of his life with fusion pioneers like Chick Corea. This is highly recommended, a solid effort from top to bottom.
