Tamar Aphek

Tamar Inbar, oboe, studied with Dudu Carmel at the Jerusalem Music academy where she won the competition for solo performance with orchestra and got full marks for her final oboe exam. She continued her studies with Maurice Bourgue in Geneva and finished her diploma with Thomas Indermuhle in Karlsruhe, and was awarded high honours. She finished her Masters studies with Stefan Schilli at the Mozarteum Salzburg, also with high honours.

Tamar Beraia performs world-premiere recordings of the seminal piano works of Michel Sogny, a truly significant musical figure who has inspired countless others with his work.

Considering how good Tamar Braxton's Winter Loversland album is, it is ridiculous and almost unforgiveable that my first knowledge of the singer came from Roxxxy Andrews impersonating her in the 5th season of the always flawless RuPaul's Drag Race. How Love & War passed me by is beyond me. However, I'm here now and hopefully not to late to this festive party because Winter Loversland (love that title) is a heavenly treat that is sinfully good from start to finish. Tamar has managed to put together a collection of tunes that reflect her personality & the spirit of the season in a seemingly effortless convergence of musical magic.

Tamar Braxton's return to music in 2013 could not have gone much better. Love and War debuted at number two, featured a number one R&B hit and two additional singles that either scraped or peaked near the Top Ten. Three Grammy nominations resulted. Follow-up Calling All Lovers is wrapped up like it offers even more theatrics. Braxton isn't smiling in any of the photos contained in the booklet, which is made to look like a newspaper titled Tamartian Times. (Braxtonian Beacon was likely never considered; "Tamartian" is a nod to her followers).

Thirteen years after the release of her debut album, Tamar Braxton came back in a major way with her sophomore record “Love and War”. The CD debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and it let everyone know that Tamar was here to stay for the long haul. It was truly a coming out party for her. No longer was she considered the underdog, she was the star and the spotlight was all hers. Backed by the Grammy nominated single “Love and War”, R&B fans fell in love with a voice that they knew about, but didn’t get enough of. However that was two years ago and her Tamartians have been anxiously waiting for the new album “Calling All Lovers”. Luckily for them, it was well worth the wait.

On "The Family Songbook" Tamar Halperin and Andreas Scholl combine the sounds of the Middle East with classic children's songs from the West, harpsichord with country-music sounds and sing-along songs with lullabies. This is a family album for the entire family.

A new and exquisite collection of German songs from counter-tenor Andreas Scholl, providing a perfect balance between text and music. The choice of music reflects Scholl’s belief that music need not be confined in performance to a particular voice type, as long as “the singer’s approach is true.”
