Set of Fremeaux’s definitive Integrale Django Reinhardt collection. Mastered by Daniel Nevers, there are 20 volumes of these, and each volume has 2 CDs – 40 CDs total. Each volume also comes with a fairly thick booklet with discography and notes. And the booklets and inserts have very nice B&W pictures of Django. Une réédition d’exception ! Depuis quelques années maintenant, les éditions Frémeaux ont entrepris la publication d’une intégrale des enregistrements de Django Reinhardt.

Partenope is mature Handel, and belongs in the top flight of his stage works. A comedy from 1730, which was first rejected as too frivolous by the Royal Academy of Music in London, the text had been set 20 years earlier by Caldara for an opera that had been a major influence on the young Handel. The tone is light and the action - all disguises and cross-dressing, with everyone ending up with the right partner - is swift moving; there are relatively few extended arias but a number of ensembles, as well as the obligatory sinfonia and march for the battle scene at the beginning of the second act. This performance under Christian Curnyn hits the right spot from the very start.

Album released in Argentina performed by the Argentine musician and pianist Jorge S. Arduh (Córdoba, 1924) leading his Argentina Typical Orchestra and singers, accompanied vocally by Marcelo Santos, Javier Di Ciriaco and Carlos Soler. Arduh formed his own group in early 1950. His first artistic tour was made in 1951, and thereafter the recognition as 'fantastic keyboard', 'brilliant rhythm orchestra' and 'Crazy Rhythm' that accompanied him on his great success during 27 years continuously. Arduh took leave of the stage in 2009 at 85 years at the Teatro del Libertador in his hometown.
