Pianist Guillaume de Chassy insists that Silences is inspired by the example of clarinetist Jimmy Giuffre's late-1950s trio recordings. To be sure, like those records, this album is marked by intimacy and introspection, a strong clarinet sound and no drummer. But Silences, recorded at a French abbey, doesn't sound much like Giuffre's records—nor indeed, like much of jazz, at first blush. It's not at first clear just what this piano-clarinet-bass formation is up to. The helpfully titled "Birth of a Trio" provides clues. It shows just how much this music shares with jazz—improvisation, first of all; and empathy, the musicians listening closely to each other, as for example when de Chassy's piano sidles up to Thomas Savy's soaring clarinet.

Never released on CD

Since I first heard Soukous bands in Paris in the 80s, I'm infected. So I was very happy when I came across a few of these records lately. But unluckily if a Congolese or Nigerian record has not been severely mistreated, it can't be a good one. They are mostly full of dust, scratches, dirt, even candle wax and, please believe me, chewing gum. I tried many tricks to clean and repair them, with brushes, alcohol, finger nails, and finally even a sewing needle, and against my habits I used automatic click repair for this rip. Apart from a few minor pops the sound is excellent now, and this will be the best rip until we find a better one. The music is just too magic to be missed. Enjoy!

This is a program of great French works, in arrangements for double bass and piano by Henry Chen. Henry Chen and Lucas Wong, piano, turn in wonderful performances. These are great additions to the very limited double bass literature. A versatile bassist, Han-Jui (Henry) Chen has performed in North America, Europe, South Africa, Asia, and his native Taiwan. He enjoys performing as a soloist, chamber musician, and orchestral bassist. Henry was appointed to the faculty at Central Conservatory of Music in Fall of 2018.

Genre: Pop, Chanson | Label: Universal

Rien d'étonnant finalement à ce que cette compilation thématique ait vu le jour. Car s'il est un sujet omniprésent chez Polnareff, c'est bien celui des émotions sentimentales. Par conséquent, on retrouve sur ce double CD la plupart des classiques que ce compositeur hors normes a égrenés sans discontinuité entre 1966 et 1971, dominant de la tête et des épaules une scène française qu'il jugea plus tard trop étroite pour lui. L'incontournable "Poupée qui fait non" ouvre le bal, avec, rappelons-le, un certain Jimmy Page à la guitare.

The Chalet — a romantic opera — was a triumph in all opera houses in the 19th century, maintaining its popularity until the 1930s. Ever since: nothing. Now this agreeable comic opera has been recreated and recorded for the first time, with 3 greats, and notably the very young Jodie Devos, a Queen Elisabeth prizewinner and consecrated artiste of the year 2015 by the International Classical Music Award. This is the debut on disc of Toulon Opera, directed here by a conductor who has already graced the operas of Australia and New Zealand: Guillaume Tourniaire.

This new Erato recording of the complete, uncut score of Les Troyens is drawn from two concert performances that took place over the Easter weekend in April 2017 in the city of Strasbourg in eastern France. A magnificent cast of singers, predominantly Francophone, assembled under the baton of John Nelson, an acknowledged master of Berlioz’s music who has conducted Les Troyens more frequently than anyone else over a period of more than 40 years; he made his name with the piece when he led performances at New York’s Metropolitan Opera in 1974 and enjoyed great acclaim for a production at the Frankfurt Opera shortly before the Strasbourg concerts.

On ne peut que saluer un label comme Naxos qui a l’audace de publier depuis longtemps des œuvres complètement oubliées de l’histoire de la musique. Une politique d’autant plus courageuse qu’elle ne doit pas rapporter beaucoup de retour sur investissements. Cet opéra presque totalement inconnu de César Franck qui sort ici pour la première fois dans sa version intégrale, sans la moindre coupure, en est une excellente illustration.

Most of César Franck’s works received scant attention at the time of their composition and Hulda was never performed in his lifetime. The narrative is set in 14th-century Norway at the time of the great tribal kings, with marauding hordes spreading fear and terror throughout the land. Hulda is kidnapped and transferred from one tribe to the other, her family is killed and she herself is humiliated.

Charles Aznavour (/ˌæznəˈvʊər/ AZ-nə-VOOR, French: [ʃaʁl aznavuʁ]; born Shahnur Vaghinak Aznavourian,[a] 22 May 1924 – 1 October 2018) was a French singer of Armenian descent, as well as a lyricist, actor and diplomat. Aznavour was known for his distinctive vibrato tenor voice: clear and ringing in its upper reaches, with gravelly and profound low notes. In a career as a composer, singer and songwriter, spanning over 70 years, he recorded more than 1,200 songs interpreted in 9 languages. Moreover, he wrote or co-wrote more than 1,000 songs for himself and others. Aznavour is regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time and an icon of 20th-century pop culture.
