Un ex funzionario della Cia sopravvive per miracolo ad un incidente aereo che precipita nell'oceano. Divampa in lui una furia omicida per scoprire la verità. Chi ha organizzato il piano per ucciderlo?

This programme offers a vivid and varied cross-section of English song, ranging from the Edwardian aesthetic of Quilter and early Vaughan Williams to the intensely expressive style of Howells and Finzi. The Purcell realisations by Britten and Tippett, meanwhile, are products of two great 20th-century composers engaging with their musical heritage. In all these different styles, Bejun Mehta shows the same verbal and vocal mastery that won such acclaim for his debut Handel recital on harmonia mundi.

The collection spans the wide range of his repertoire: on the one hand legendary Heldentenor roles with conductors such as Bernstein, Kleiber and Solti, on the other, operettas, folksongs and Weill’s “Threepenny Opera.” Also included is one of Kollo’s big early successes as a pop singer: his charming 1961 German-language version of the international hit “Mary Lou.”.

Akae Beka, the artist formerly known as Vaughn Benjamin of Midnite, is a candidate for the most prolific reggae artist in the universe. The St. Croix native releases multiple albums virtually every year, and they’re never half-hearted affairs.

The promise of rebirth and rejuvenation is celebrated by SOMM Recordings’ Songs of Renewal, a collection of choral works – including two first recordings – by seven living British composers performed by Bath Camerata under musical director Benjamin Goodson. Joining the ensemble are soprano Elizabeth Cragg and composer-pianist Huw Watkins, whose Shakespeare setting The Phoenix and the Turtle (2014) moves puissantly from monotone chanting to solemn chorale for an allegorical poem mourning the passing of ideal love.
