Vous n'avez jamais entendu parler de Virgil Haack ? Vous n'avez jamais lu une traître ligne de Sara Zeelen-Levallois ? Les oeuvres complètes de Hartmut Trautmann manquent à votre bibliothèque ?
Aucune inquiétude : c'est normal. Car ces trois écrivains de génie, ainsi que les 49 autres qui composent cette encyclopédie des plus phénoménaux ratages de toute l'histoire de la littérature, ont été victimes de diverses avanies qui les ont fait passer à l'as de la postérité. …

This recording of Handel "Theodora" features a truly star-studded cast, with Lisette Oropesa in the title role.

Bay Area singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Lindsay Olsen is the mind behind the warped and magical project Salami Rose Joe Louis. Drawing from her studies in planetary sciences, she creates a unique experience: exploring ideas of multiverses and climate change through the lens of a fictional post-apocalyptic keyboard-toting earthling with a flashlight, a can of cashews and a hopeful optimism. Melding influences from jazz, rock and hip-hop – Shuggie Otis, Captain Beefheart, Stereolab, and R. Stevie Moore – she creates a unique blend of experimental galaxy sounds with jazz influenced vocals and keys.

Excellent album steeped in the Southern California country-rock sound of the '70s, with all the usual suspects – Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel, Kenny Edwards, and Russ Kunkel, producer Peter Asher – all Ronstadt veterans, plus Glenn Frey and Don Henley from the Eagles) in place on such songs as "Faithless Love," "Simple Man, Simple Dream," and "Silver Blue".

Here is a superb recital following Piers Lane’s earlier Hyperion release of d’Albert piano concertos (4/96) and, once again, provoking astonishment that music of such quality could have lain neglected for so long. Variety is, indeed, the spice of d’Albert (1864-1932), the legendary, six times married pianist so greatly admired by Liszt. Tending to leave his wives as soon as they bore him children (one for the Freudians), his occasional sense of confusion – including an outburst to Teresa Carreno, his second conquest, “Come quickly, my child and your child are fighting with our child” – hardly detracted from a dazzling career and a series of compositions of a special richness.

David Rose was an american violinist from Susquehanna. Rose had recorded albums between 1977 and 1983 which make up his solo career, often backed by some of his colleagues from the French Transit Express (with whom he also founded a pop jazz band Blue Rose in the 80's, namely Serge Perathoner and Christian Basile Leroux). Besides fusion music, Rose was also a member of an American prog folk band named Fred in the late 60's and early 70's. His first album 'Distance Between Dreams' (engineered by Laurent Thibault of Magma) is the most famous one, but the rest also exhibit fusion that can be compared to that of Jean-Luc Ponty, as Rose also combined electronic sound with his acoustic and electric violins.

An unheralded landmark in art rock, this features Savage Rose keyboardist Thomas Koppel's score for a ballet by Flemming Flindt (the title translates to "Triumph of Death"). Nearly entirely instrumental (one song features Annisette on vocals), this is one of the finest classically influenced rock records…
