Carmi

Composed in 1771 to a libretto by Metastasio tracing the well-known biblical story of Judith and Holofernes, La Betulia liberata was Mozart’s first oratorio. Often described as a stroke of genius, this recording by Les Talens Lyriques and Christophe Rousset, with Sandrine Piau, Amanda Forsythe and Teresa Iervolino, shows the dramatic intensity of which he was already capable at the age of just fifteen and the influence of his early experiences with opera.

Atmospheric. Epic. Russian techno-trance-progressive duo Moonbeam have had their music described in myriad ways, though what s certain is that there is ecstatic swooning on a dancefloor when their tunes are dropped. Comprising of brothers Vitaly and Pavel Khvaleev, the DJs/producers Moonbeam release their third full-length studio album "The Secret". Following their previous studio albums 2010s "Around The World" and 2008s "Consumption" - the bar was set high for "The Secret". An artistic journey, "The Secret" is at times haunting, downright sensuous, minimal, and at times highly charged. Throughout it all, however, the album is brilliant in its cinematic scope and willingness to inhabit the realm where dreams and consciousness bleed into one.
