On peut clairement dire qu'il y aura eu un avant et un après "Bruxelles arrive" pour Roméo Elvis. En effet, ce qui devait être un petit délire destiné au live (on entend une prod' pompée à G-Eazy et probablement pas clearée, raison pour laquelle le titre n'est pas sorti) est devenu le titre symbolisant la vague hip-hop noir-jaune-rouge qui a déferlé sur la francophonie en 2016. Et forcément, cela a permis de mettre un énorme coup de projecteur à retardement sur Morale, le très cool album qu'avait sorti quelques mois plus tôt Roméo Elvis en collaboration avec le producteur Le Motel.

Pierre Monteux had one of the longest active careers as a conductor, probably exceeded among famous musicians by Pablo Casals and Leopold Stokowski. He retained a youthful appearance with black hair (although his mustache was white), and was expressed by any suggestion that the color was not natural. He said anyone who said otherwise was welcome to come with shampoo, alcohol, or whatever to wash his hair and prove the color was natural. "Also you might mention that I have all my teeth," he added.

Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony bring unsurpassed storytelling and musicality to their latest recording on the Grammy Award-winning SFS Media label: Berlioz’s dramatic symphony Roméo et Juliette. With a narrative that Berlioz deemed “too beautiful, too musical” to not be performed, this impassioned orchestral scoring of love and despair is further enriched by the vocals of Sasha Cooke, Nicholas Phan, Luca Pisaroni, and the SFS Chorus.

Sergei Prokofiev’s visceral romanticism is on display in music written for the ballet Romeo and Juliet. The composer’s own arrangement for piano matches his brilliant orchestration. The virtuoso Stanislav Khristenko pairs these works with Prokofiev’s equally vibrant Op. 12 Pieces for Piano. Stanislav Khristenko’s performances have captivated audiences on four continents since his first solo recital at the age of 11 at the Kharkiv Philharmonic Hall in Ukraine. A “poet of piano” (Le Soir, Belgium), Khristenko has been praised for his emotional intensity and charismatic expression. As a concert pianist, Khristenko has received prizes at over 30 international piano competitions, and he has given solo recitals at Carnegie Hall, Vienna Konzerthaus, and Palais de Beaux-Arts in Brussels.
