Erika Stucky war schon immer für Überraschungen gut. Seit bald 25 Jahren knüpft die Sängerin, Musikerin, Songschreiberin und Multimedia-Künstlerin spannende internationale Verbindungen, von Dino Saluzzi und Carla Bley bis hin zu einem Gastauftritt bei Elvis Costello. Darüber hinaus hat sie in dieser Zeit viele eigenwillige, teils verblüffende, stilübergreifende Formationen entwickelt. Stuckys neues Werk schlägt jetzt ein weiteres Kapitel auf, mit unerwartetem Inhalt.

Even Norwegians get the blues! On 'Tears Of The World,' guitarist Knut Reiersrud and his band find themselves in the company of the Grammy-nominated, 72-year old vocalist Mighty Sam McClain, originally from Louisiana. Together, they dedicate themselves to the music of the deep south and give impressive proof that, when it comes to playing hard-driving R&B, soul or blues, it's not where you come from that's important, it's the spirit that drives you. On June 16, 2015 Mighty Sam McClain died. 'Tears Of The World' is his last album and will remain as his legacy. The Blues & Soul world has lost an outstanding artist.

These sonatas date from the final part of Mozart’s life, when he was in his early thirties and at the height of his genius. Having recently entered into Freemasonry, Mozart, who had shaken off the paternal yoke and authority of the Prince-Archbishop of Salzburg, was living in Vienna, and it was in Vienna that he composed these two Sonatas. Mozart’s music, whether expressive or energetic, light, fierce, elegant or austere, reveals the expectations, the hopes and the dramas that characterised his life.
