Dalesman From June 2015

For the ancient Greeks, the water did not come simply from the ground; No, it had divine beings - the water nymphs. These legendary nymphs inhabit also in Renaissance and Baroque arts as mythical remnants of a lost world where all natural phenomena always had a divine nature.

1 is a greatest hits album of the English rock band the Beatles, originally released on 13 November 2000. The album features virtually every number-one single the band achieved in the United Kingdom or United States from 1962 to 1970. Issued on the 30th anniversary of the band's break-up, it was their first compilation album available on only one CD. 1 was a commercial success and topped charts worldwide. It has sold over 31 million copies. Since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking US album sales in January 1991, 1 is the fourth-best-selling album in the US, the best-selling album of the 2000s decade in the US, as well as the best-selling album of the decade worldwide. 1 was remastered and reissued in September 2011. It was remixed and reissued again in several different deluxe editions in November 2015, the most comprehensive of which is a three-disc set entitled 1+, which includes video discs of Beatles promotional films. As of June 2015, 1 was the sixth-best-selling album of the 21st century in the UK, having sold over 3.1 million copies.

Doom legends Paradise Lost continue to churn out albums of high quality and The Plague Within delivers the goods. They meld their signature Doom Metal with their more angry, Death Metal stylings. They open the album with the very melodic "No Hope In Sight" and follow it up with a much more aggressive cut "Terminal". The album definitely gets more and more old school as it goes along integrating guttural vocals to the aggression. Other highlights include "Punishment Through Time", the blistering "Flesh From Bone" and "Cry Out". Another solid album from the prolific Paradise Lost.

Leon Bridges' first strides as a retro-soul artist prompted comparisons to R&B legends like Sam Cooke and Otis Redding. A singer, songwriter, and guitarist, Bridges performed in and around Fort Worth, Texas and stirred up music industry interest with analog recordings, produced by Justin Block and Austin Jenkins of White Denim, which were uploaded to his SoundCloud page. Signed to major-label Columbia, his first singles – including a rich ballad written about his mother – appeared in February 2015 with a sound that evoked mid- to late-'60s soul. The following month, Bridges caught more attention with a performance at the South by Southwest Festival, roughly 200 miles south of his home base. His debut album, Coming Home, was released in June 2015.

"The Essential Rob Halford" is a best of on 2-CDs from the classic songs from Rob Halford. A must have for every fan!

This double-CD release is a second volume in pianist Paavali Jumppanen’s ongoing recording cycle of the Beethoven piano sonatas. This new release contains six piano sonatas: three early Op. 10 sonatas (published in 1798) and three sonatas written between 1804–06 (Opp. 53, 54 & 57). Piano Sonata Op. 53 Waldstein, completed after the 3rd Symphony, was described by Wilhelm von Lenz, an early biographer of Beethoven, as a “heroic symphony for piano.” Piano Sonata Op. 57 Appassionata is undoubtedly Beethoven’s darkest and most aggressive work. The Sonata has been compared to Dante’s Inferno and Shakespeare’s bloodthirsty Macbeth.

Johann Nepomuk Hummel was a pupil of Mozart. A child prodigy himself, he developed a highly virtuoso technique on the piano, and built an impressive career as one of the most famous and sought after pianists and composers of early 19th century Europe. Even today some of his piano works offer a serious challenge to professional pianists.

Finnish singer TarjaTurunen is one of the most well known heavy metal soprano singers and one of the most important female voices and faces in metal music. No other voice and artist influenced and basically created the female fronted symphonic metal genre as much as Tarja. A pioneer in goth and symphonic metal, the classically trained Finn rose to fame with the band Nightwish, whose face and voice she had been for 9 years. With a vocal range of a lyrical soprano, Tarja started her solo career in 2004. Releasing three very successful metal rock solo albums (2007, 2010, 2013), awarded gold and platinum in multiple countries, Tarja has been constantly touring the world with her live band. Adored by many fans as their Goddess , the Finnish Soprano has the skill to carry her fans away just by her presence probably more than any other female artist in this genre. When classic meets rock and heavy metal, it inevitably leads to Tarja. In 2015 Tarja issued her third live album, Luna Park Ride, which was recorded in Buenos Aires, Argentina.
