The Rat Pack was a group of actors originally centered on Humphrey Bogart. In the mid-1960s it was the name used by the press and the general public to refer to a later variation of the group, after Bogart's death, that called itself "the summit" or "the clan," featuring Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy Davis, Jr., Peter Lawford, and Joey Bishop, who appeared together on stage and in films in the early-1960s, including the movie Ocean's Eleven.

Six years of recording silence is about to come to an end! Frans Brüggen and the Orchestra of the Eighteenth Century are making their return in style and once more this is in partnership with Glossa – and within The Grand Tour collection (now provided with a brand new design), a cooperation which provided the home for all the orchestra's productions between 1997 and 2002. Five new titles are planned over the next 18 months, releases which are bound to be enthusiastically welcomed by the numerous devotees all over the world of this inspiring orchestra who have been continuing to enjoy the four or five tours each year that Brüggen and his musicians have been making.

Five CDs and 94 tracks from her 1962-63 recording sessions give this complete Dinah Washington collection from Mosaic ample opportunities for extended listening. Five hours of Ms. Washington's expressive way with a song tell a long and detailed story.

The Medtner sonata is the principal work here. Of the three that he wrote the Third (Epica) is perhaps the most intricately worked and, at over 40 minutes, certainly the most substantial. At times it seems almost too long for its own good and for that reason it needs a very persuasive and masterly performance in order to project its strengths. Fortunately Vaditn Repin's and Boris Berezovsky's performance here is about as persuasive as you can get — Repin is lyrical and passionate and has plenty of fiery temperament for this music, and he is ideally complemented by Berezovsky's equally splendid playing. Much is made of the sonata's lyrical and melodic abundance (the Scherzo is delivered with great panache) and Repin's choice of tempo for all movements is expertly judged — compared to Alexander Shirinsky and Dmitri Galynin, Repin comes in faster in just about all movements; even so I still find the finale a little overworked and extended for the material.

THE UK-based American saxophonist was a regular visitor to Scotland in the 1990s, but has rather slipped off my radar in this decade. On this evidence, he sounds a more mature and adventurous musician these days.
