Una notte onirica is an enchanting musical journey, dedicated to the sacred and profane passions of 17th-century Italy. A soprano and six instrumentalists set up a nocturnal, intimate and sometimes disturbing atmosphere thanks to motets and sonatas by Cazzati, Turini, Marini, Rossi, Cesti and others. The torments of a jealous lover follow the luminous antiphons for the Virgin and sinfonie and lamenti compete in virtuosity. Una notte onirica is the illustration of an abundant and colourful Italian night, like a new carnival dedicated to Nyx, the goddess of the night.

Wayne and I went to grammar school and Arts High School together. I was very influenced by Wayne in every way and knew at young age that he was a genius. But I could not tolerate the cold winters, so I decided to move to Los Angeles.

The Études-Tableaux op. 39 are perhaps Rachmaninov's most modern and sombre compositions. Composed in 1917, just before he fled to the USA, the nine picture etudes are a challenge for any pianist. Nikolai Obukhov, who was 20 years younger, wrote his Six Tableaux psychologiques in 1915 before emigrating to France in 1918 and being sponsored by Ravel. The influence of Scriabin is unmistakable. The French pianist Josquin Otal, a student of Anne Queffélec and Denis Pascal, has recorded these works together with one piece each by Granados and Crumb on the new luxurious Yamaha CFX grand piano.

Batoru could be the name of an african bird; here it refers to an idea that - after careful preparation - finally turned into music in 1996. The suite „Elegy for Africa“ was inspired by various travels through Africa and is a musical dedication to the continent of colours and rhythm. Subtly moving grooves supported by an ingenious texture of minimalist ideas, form the basis for expansive melodic developement. drumbeats and heartbeats. The traditional responsibilities of soloinstruments and rhythm section dissolve into a richly woven tapestry of rhythm and tonal colours, that becomes the instantly recognizable hallmark of Batoru.

It’s obvious listening to Sarah Shook and the Disarmers’ clear-eyed, biting, and unafraid songs that integrity is the most important thing to the Chapel Hill, North Carolina, country-punk outfit. “A lot of artists are in this industry for fame, recognition, and money but those things don’t mean anything to me,” says bandleader River Shook. “Songwriting is it for me. It’s the only real healthy coping mechanism I've ever had. It’s life-saving. I don't care about any superficial things when I’m making a record.” On their resonant fourth album Revelations, produced by Shook and out March 29 via Thirty Tigers, these raw and resilient tracks come first. Throughout, Shook’s deft storytelling documents regular people getting by and keeping on, all presented without filter or pretension.

When Sean Cimino and Isom Innis were getting ready to work on what would become Acid Star, the full-length debut of their syrupy electronic rock group Peel, they started by tapping into the music that they liked as kids. That is, the music they gravitated toward before they had “any taste or judgment,” as Innis puts it.

Malegría, Reyna Tropical’s long-anticipated debut full-length album, is at once a vibrant arrival and an electrifying bridge. The portmanteau, born from a 1998 Manu Chao song by the same name, is akin to bittersweet and blends the Spanish “mal” which means “bad" and “alegría” which means “happiness.” It marks Reyna Tropical’s movement from a duo to a solo project. The album is a contemporary celebration and continuation of wide-reaching cultural traditions—from Congolese, Peruvian, and Colombian rhythms to revolutionary artists like lesbian guitarist-singer Chavela Vargas—these influences meld and are remixed through the distinctive lens of trailblazing guitarist and songwriter Fabi Reyna. Traversing themes including queer love, feminine sensuality, and the transformative power of intentional relations to the earth, Malegría spotlights narratives often pushed to the margins and offers them a sonic homeland.
