Herbert von Karajan was the most renowned conductor to emerge from Europe in the post-World War II era – and through fortuitous timing throughout his career, and in spite of controversy that dogged his early years, he was the most recorded conductor of the 20th century, and is likely to remain one of the most visible (and biggest-selling) conductors well into the 21st century. Born in Salzburg and descended from a family of Greek origin with deep roots in Austria – including scholars and physicians in Vienna and Salzburg – he was a music prodigy, playing the piano at three and playing his first recital a year later.

A natural follow-up to ‘Breathe In’ in both sound and meaning, ‘Breathe Out’ sees a new, healthier and reconnected Armin van Buuren deliver the second and final part of his ninth studio album, ‘Breathe’. Inspired by a stronger sense of self, more creativity and an even more dauntless approach to studio work, the album comprises a total of 39 tracks, from chart-topping hits to surprising collaborations (e.g. Pendulum & Rob Swire, Sam Gray, Moby, Bon Jovi) and new tracks, such as ‘Let It Be For Love’ (feat. JAI RYU) and ‘Want Some More’ (feat. Sam Harper). It is chockful of sound fusions and expert songwriting, showing that a balanced mind and lifestyle can lead to wonder. “‘Breathe Out’ really shows how far I’ve come, not just as an artist, but as a person. This album is about creative freedom, living fully, and putting everything I’ve learned – especially through my journey with mental health and self-growth – into the music. In many ways, it feels like coming full circle.”

Under many aspects, Bach was one of the greatest innovators in the history of music. Few things he created from scratch; but none of the elements he received from tradition he left untouched or adopted supinely. And one of the most impressive innovations that should be ascribed to his genius is the creation of a repertoire of unaccompanied works for the solo violin and cello, which demonstrates the possibility for these two instruments to sustain and support a whole musical discourse without the need of an accompaniment.

A protest record. Against discord, narrow-mindedness, and bad moods. "Luck You!", De-Phazz's 20th studio album, contains the quintessence of everything that defines Germany's most important export in terms of intelligent, loungey entertainment music: soul and jazz, dub and pop, hip hop and operetta, nonsense and profundity. As befits a protest record, De-Phazz has reinvented itself to some extent. The album could actually have been called "Bandmade". "This is the De-Phazz studio record with the greatest band influence," explains sample specialist and sound montage virtuoso Pit Baumgartner. Thus, the majority of the tracks on "Luck You!" were created in close collaboration with his long-time instrumental accomplices Ulf Kleiner (piano, Rhodes), Marcus Bartelt (saxophone, bass clarinet), and Oli Rubow (drums). The motto was: fewer collages like on the editing masterpiece “Pit Sounds”, released in 2024, but more handmade music.

Since their breakout 2012 self-titled debut album, The Lumineers have achieved some incredible milestones: twenty-four number one hits, billions of streams, packed global arena tours, multi-platinum releases, Grammy nominations, and, most important to core members Jeremiah Fraites and Wesley Schultz, numerous beloved, timeless songs. The band's fifth studio album Automatic out February 14, is being released in a music landscape that has become dominated by solo artists dependent on other writers. Schultz says being one of the few groups touring who write all their own material, is "a unique badge of honor." But that's not to say they won't collaborate with other artists; Schultz and Fraites have recently written and appeared on songs with pop icon P!nk, as well as rising singer-songwriters James Bay and Zach Bryan.

A Grammy-winning vocalist, Patti Austin is known for her ebullient jazz and R&B recordings. A performer since she was a child, Austin released several soul-jazz albums in the '70s before gaining widespread fame with her chart-topping 1982 hit duet with Roger Ingram "Baby, Come to Me," off the Quincy Jones-produced Every Home Should Have One. Along with her pop success, she has released a string of Top 20 Billboard 200 Jazz Albums, including 1988's The Real Me, 1990's Love Is Gonna Getcha, and 1994's The Secret Place

The Bluebells’ Sisters is a perfect snapshot of early ’80s “Sound of Young Scotland”: Glasgow indie pop with bittersweet spirit, sharp hooks, and heartfelt harmonies. Signing to the then-nascent London Records, and working with a procession of esteemed producers (including Elvis Costello who became a mentor and teacher to the band), The Bluebells enjoyed three UK hits in the 1980s (‘Cath’, ‘Young at Heart’ and ‘I’m Falling’) before touring widely throughout Europe and North America, developing their live sound and signing to Seymour Stein’s Sire Records in the U.S.

Originally recorded for the small Music Masters label in the early '90s, this set of Bach's keyboard concertos was among a series of choice Music Masters items reissued by Nimbus late in the first decade of the 21st century. The Russians have never been known for Bach, but this is a solid traversal that can be recommended to anyone wanting to hear these concertos on a piano accompanied by modern instruments. Despite these forces, there is a good deal of influence from the British historical-instrument movement apparent here; the crisp string playing avoids any hint of Romantic sheen, and Feltsman is very subtle in his introduction of purely pianistic elements. The long notes in the slow movements tend to be just a bit more extended than would be possible on a harpsichord, and Feltsman thus creates a smooth, pearly texture that's quite lyrical. In several of the finales he pushes the tempo to high speeds, creating an entirely different effect on a piano that the music would have on a harpsichord.

Paul Brown releases So Much To Say with special guests Rick Braun, Darren Rahn and Jeff Ryan. With So Much To Say, Paul Brown reaches the peak of his prodigious creativity. The album kicks off with the joyful title tune "So Much To Say," followed by a brilliant reinvention of the classic, "Summertime." Other surefire smooth-jazz hits include the in-the-pocket "Vice Versa," the uber-funky "The Get Down," the romantic "Take Me As I Am," and much more. Two time Grammy winner Paul Brown, both as an artist and producer, is responsible for more that 100 #1 jazz radio hits. Paul has produced and shared the stage with a who's-who of jazz greats such as George Benson, Patti Austin, Boney James, Norman Brown and Peter White just to name a few. "Paul Brown… a top-to-bottom smooth jazz stunner brimming with bright melodies and enough hits to fill a Christmas stocking." -All About Jazz
