Performer, composer and teacher, Enrique Granados stood with de Falla and Albéniz as the most outstanding Spanish musician of his time. Among his dozen or so chamber works the Piano Trio and Piano Quintet, both from 1894, exemplify Granados’s highly expressive, Neo-romantic style, his piano writing revealing the hand of a virtuoso. Amiable touches of dance and salon music, hints of Moorish, gypsy and folkloric elements, co-exist in these beautiful, refined pieces. The famous Intermezzo from his opera Goyescas, an Aragonese jota, is heard here in Gaspar Cassadó’s popular arrangement.

Giocando con i titoli dei due inediti, ecco il nuovo album di Biagio Antonacci Il cielo ha una porta sola con cambio di etichetta, contenente alcuni dei suoi successi reinterpretati e un duetto a sorpresa con Claudia Cardinale.
16 tracce per un Biagio Antonacci a tutto tondo che può permettersi di rileggere il suo passato artistico sull’onda di una maturità e maggiore intensità interpretativa. Dopo avere ascoltato alla radio in anteprima l’emozionante singolo che da il titolo al lavoro, si potrà gustare un suono più rock nell’altro energico brano nuovo “Aprila”: un forte invito a lasciarsi andare all’amore.
Ci sono anche le riletture personali di due hits, composti originariamente per Laura Pausini, come “Vivimi”, eletta la ‘miglior ballata in Sudamerica’, e la splendida “Tra te e il mare” con il campionamento di un riff tratto dalla mitica “Start me up” dei Rolling Stones. E poi c’è da segnalare la presenza della calda voce recitante di Claudia Cardinale scelta come partner per il brano “Sognami”, nel quale è stata inserita la fisarmonica suonata con grande maestria da Richard Galliano. Lo stesso Biagio racconta l’incontro con la diva nella sua casa a Parigi : …‘Io ero arrivato con il registratorino e le cuffiette e abbiamo cominciato a incidere il suo pezzo. L'ha fatta per cinque volte, ma perché fosse perfetta mi sono permesso di chiederle di ripeterla per la sesta volta e lei ha esclamato Oh Antonacci! e l'ha rifatta…’.

A 17th Century manuscript that was compiled but Albert Bobowski, a Polish musician and orientalist, contains songs of the Italian Renaissance and the Ottoman court. Bobowski, alias Ali Ufki, was born around 1610 in Poland and worked in Constantinople at the Ottoman court where he was involved with many diplomats,clerics and travellers as translator, language teacher, mediator and adviser. Thanks to his diverse skills and profound knowledge of the Islamic-Ottoman and Christian-European cultures, he became a valued mediator between the two worlds during his lifetime. In this collection of European and Ottoman vocal and instrumental, sacred and secular, court and popular music, Ali Ufki switches between languages and music genres with a fantastic ease and naturalness. Together with the Italian tenor Marco Beasley, the ensemble Constantinople makes this collection accessible again with that very same ease and naturalness. The musicians brilliantly succeed in congenially bridging the gap between the cultures if Europe and the Orient, just as Ali Ufki did centuries ago.

Biagio Marini (1594-1663) now is remembered not only as one of the most famous violin virtuosos of his time and an innovator of instrumental music, but also as a masterly composer of vocal pieces, both sacred and profane. The Concertos, Op. 7 reveal the composers mastery. Adopting some traditional forms of music of the Renaissance such as the canto a ballo and the romanesca, and using ritornellos and refrains interspersed with different formal systems, Marini created complex, dynamic pieces, achieving a splendid synthesis of styles.

Fabio Bonizzoni, one of Baroque music performance leading conductors of our time, and his group La Risonanza make their debut on Challenge Classics with Dido and Aeneas, Purcell's operatic masterpiece. It is coupled with The Love of Mars and Venus by John Eccles and Gottfried Finger, Purcell's near contemporaries. Henry Purcell's Dido and Aeneas, composed in the 1680s, is arguably the most beloved and best-known opera in English. Bonizzoni says: "The charm of this opera is in that it contains everything, like Cervantes' Don Quixote: any life experience is within it. Love, hate, death, dream, despair, the innocent and the wicked play.
