At just ten years old, Helene Liebmann, nee Riese, made her public debut as a pianist in Berlin, marking the beginning of a remarkable career. Soon thereafter, her first compositions followed - understandably, works primarily dedicated to her own instrument. Shortly after her marriage in 1814, the young artist relocated to London with her husband, where she studied under Ferdinand Ries, a friend and student of Beethoven. During this time, her earliest chamber music works came into being, followed by additional compositions while in Britain, including the two duo sonatas and the first of two piano trios recorded here. These are all elegant and distinctive works, shifting from the spirit of late Classicism toward the Biedermeier era with a delicate Romantic touch, making them both accessible and enduringly appealing to listeners.

"If I had as much melody as you, and you had as much knowledge as I, we would both be great men." These words capture the essence of Georg Joseph Vogler. While his pupil Carl Maria von Weber famously composed countless Romantic classics, Vogler secured lasting recognition primarily through his theories of composition. However, during his lifetime, he was also highly esteemed as a musician, not only in German-speaking regions but also in Paris, London, Rotterdam, Stockholm, and Vienna. His prolific output spanned a wide range of genres, from opera and singspiel to keyboard music, sacred works, and symphonies. His third and final symphony, La Scala, appears to be a direct response to Mozart's "learned" Jupiter Symphony. Though Mozart himself dismissed Vogler as a charlatan, even he was not infallible. Listen and judge for yourself!

Eminem's 2005 greatest-hits compilation Curtain Call gathers all of Marshall Mathers's boffo singles together in one convenient place. One could raise the argument that all the Eminem you really need can be found on the perfect one-two punch that was 1999's The Slim Shady LP and 2000's The Marshall Mathers LP, but the hit 2005 "best of" set Curtain Call is a pretty good way to keep up with the irascible rapper's early post-millennial output. This easy-to-digest collection gathers together all of Mr. Mathers's best-known singles, from "My Name Is" and "Guilty Conscience" to "Stan" and "The Real Slim Shady" to the 8 Mile soundtrack banger "Lose Yourself" and The Eminem Show keeper "Cleanin' Out My Closet" and beyond. Three new tracks – "Fack," "When I'm Gone" and "Shake That" (featuring Nate Dogg) – are appended to keep things fresh, while the inclusion of the live performance of "Stan" Eminem did with saucy gal pal Elton John at the 2001 Grammy Awards is a nice touch at the end. Ya can't argue with the hits.
