Clarika Manquer à Quelqu’un Quelque Part

The first presentation of A Man and a Woman on CD in stereo – from the original album masters housed in the MGM vaults, in both French and English versions. One of the finest soundtrack albums of the 1960s came in 1966, when Francis Lai composed much of the music for Claude Lelouch's French film A Man and a Woman (Un Homme et une Femme in French). Most European films enjoy very little publicity in the U.S., but A Man and a Woman was an exception because the soundtrack was so superb. With this classic LP, Lai and his allies (who include arrangers Maurice Vander and Ivan Julien) brought together French pop, jazz, and the Brazilian bossa nova (which Antonio Carlos Jobim, Stan Getz, and João Gilberto had popularized in the early 1960s). The bossa nova was as hot in Europe as it was in North America, and France's interest in Brazilian music is underscored by sensuous, caressing Lai offerings like "Aujourd'hui C'est Toi" and the famous title song – all of which feature French vocalists Nicole Croisille and/or Pierre Barouh. While Lai composed most of the melodies, Barouh provided the French lyrics – including some lyrics that he wrote for Brazilian composer Baden Powell's "Samba Saravah." Barouh has a soft, gentle quality to his voice, and he frequently brings to mind another gentle singer: João Gilberto. A five-star collection of mood music, this soundtrack has held up extremely well over the years.

The album centers around a never-before-released rendition of "Silentium," the second movement of Pärt's most famous concerto, Tabula Rasa, performed by Boston-based chamber orchestra A Far Cry. The group plays "Silentium" at nearly half the speed of the best-known version, released on ECM in 1984. The piece, known for its healing properties for the dying and often used in palliative care facilities (one patient famously called it "angel music"), is breathtaking at half speed, seemingly stilling time itself.

You might have already heard it, but Germany's Rebellion is going to release the new album "A Tragedy In Steel Part II: Shakespeare's King Lear" on January 26, 2018 via Massacre Records! The new album is characterized by its dark and gloomy atmosphere, which perfectly reflects the mood set in Shakespeare's drama. Just like on the band's debut album, Rebellion has once again integrated spoken word passages into some songs, thus adding a special layer to the album. "A Tragedy In Steel Part II: Shakespeare's King Lear" was produced by Oliver Geibig and Tomi Göttlich, and was mixed and mastered by Oliver Geibig at Tonetown Music Studio. The stunning cover artwork was created by Björn Goosses/Killustrations (Kataklysm, The Very End, Sodom, Hackneyed)
