CD Hotlist: Charles du Plessis Trio, Baroqueswing Vol. II

Baroque music, particularly the music of J.S. Bach, has proved irresistible to jazz musicians for decades now. I think it’s the combination of harmonic richness and rhythmic regularity: Bach’s countrapuntal lines are so much fun to play in straight rhythm that the temptation to makes those lines swing can just be kind of overpowering. This Sout...

Audiophile Audition: George Robert, sax – Plays Michel Legrand

Michel Legrand at the movies, on sax. With the passing of George Robert (1960-2016), we have lost a very fine jazz musician and esteemed educator.

Robert is quite a traditional alto stylist ...

Scènes Magazine: Elektra, la chanteuse touche au sublime - Gwyneth Jones

« Orest ! Orest ! Orest ! Orest ! ». On ne peut aujourd'hui entendre Gwyneth Jones chanter sa complainte sur la scène du Grand-Théâtre de Genève sans être submergé par l'émotion.

The Guardian: Elektra, Gwyneth Jones & The OSR - Live recording Geneva 1990

Recordings of Elektra are proliferating at present; hard on the heels of Semyon Bychkov's new version of Hänssler, reviewed in these pages last month, come two performances, each of which serves the work better than Bychkov's impressive, if gravely flawedsset. Both derive from radio archives. The Walhall label offers Karl Böhm's justly famous 1...

Gramophone (UK): Stanford Concerto for Piano and Orchestra No 2, Finghin Collins

Stanford’s answer to the great Russian concerto It is not perhaps surprising that the key, opening flourishes and other episodes in this splendid concerto recall Rachmaninov’s Piano Concerto No 2.
