A 3 CD set collecting highlights from the band's entire career. Progressive rock's first supergroup, Emerson Lake & Palmer fused together rock and classical music like no-one before. This 3CD set collects highlights from their entire career. ELP were no strangers to extended instrumental suites and longer running times. 'Take A Pebble' from their debut album ran for twelve and a half minutes, whilst the follow-up, 'Tarkus', featured a twenty-minute title track. Piano and keyboard workouts by Keith Emerson, often adapted from the classical realm, dazzle on these longer pieces. Their UK #2 hit single 'Fanfare For The Common Man' was inspired by an Aaron Copland work. Bassist Greg Lake would contribute shorter tracks, often ballads, that would become known via radio play: US hit 'Lucky Man', 'From The Beginning' and a single that is familiar to all, 'I Believe In Father Christmas'.
All are featured on 'Emerson Lake & Palmer - The Ultimate Collection'.

'The rehearsals for La Vie parisienne are almost driving me insane', wrote librettist Ludovic Halevy a few days before the work's first performance. The artists of the Palais-Royal company were struggling with some of the musical numbers Offenbach had written for them. Under pressure, composer and librettists had to simplify, cut, rewrite and sometimes even abandon some of their most successful inspirations. The international success of the final score soon ensured the hundreds of pages reluctantly deleted by Offenbach were well and truly forgotten. Now the research of the Palazzetto Bru Zane team has uncovered all this musical material, making it possible to present the world premiere recording. Listeners can now enjoy a delightful Diplomatic Trio, a Seduction Quintet, a Roadsweeper's Song, an air for Urbain, the Fabliau of the Baroness, and more. The team of fourteen soloists assembled under the baton of Romain Dumas benefits from the glittering sonorities of the Orchestre national du Capitole de Toulouse, which previously recorded Offenbach's 'other' Vie parisienne back in… 1976.

Ce coffret regroupe l'intégralité des enregistrements de Jean Ferrat de 1960 à 1972. Depuis son éclosion à son avènement on découvre, chanson après chanson, l'itinéraire d'un géant. À partir de 'Ma môme' (1960) et 'Deux enfants au soleil' (1961), premiers succès discographiques, Jean Ferrat ne va plus cesser de marquer l'histoire de la Chanson Française. Au moment où il signe chez Barclay, en pleine vague yéyé, il écrit et compose 'Nuit et brouillard' (1963). Porté par ses convictions humaines et littéraires il s'engage dans une ouvre résolument fraternelle et poétique où 'La Montagne' (1964), 'Potemkine' (1965), 'Heureux celui qui meurt d'aimer' (1967), 'Ma France' (1969), 'Camarade' (1969), 'Aimer à perdre la raison' (1971) et bien d'autres l'installent au sommet de notre patrimoine musical et dans le cour de millions de français.

A former staffer at the embassy in London, Frenchman Laurent Garnier began DJing in Manchester during the late '80s. By the following decade, he had become one of the best all-around DJs in the world, able to span classic deep house and Detroit techno, the harder side of acid/trance, and surprisingly jazzy tracks as well. He added production work to his schedule in the early '90s, and recorded several brilliant LPs across two additional decades that displayed a similar penchant for diversity.
