About the album, guitarist Scott Holiday said, ‘When you do two albums back-to-back like this, there are a lot of things to think about. The first record has to pack enough of a punch and tell enough of a story for the second half to have an even bigger impact. We balanced them out with energy and meaning, but the follow-up always needed to deliver a bigger blow. I think ‘LIGHTBRINGER’ provides this’.

A mix of reverence and adventure. An intimate and demanding solo guitar outing by Ratko Zjaca. 8 standard 2 originals. Each song played on a different legendary instrument.
Dedicated to the world‘s most famous guitar builders and inspired by a list of musical teachers who opened up his musical horizons, from Joe Pass and Jim Hall to Joe Diorio, Mick Goodrick and Vic Juris. Archtop Avenue is a compelling addition to the canon of solo guitar and a crowning achievement in Zjaca‘s career to date. In an interview for his previous album with the ZZ Quartet, 2021’s Midnight in Europe, Croatian-born guitarist Ratko Zjaca explained how he and the group’s co-leader, Italian accordionist Simone Zanchini, came to be so utterly eclectic in their musical tastes. “We like Hendrix, we like Fellini, we like Wayne Shorter, we like Michael Brecker, we like John Coltrane…and everything.”

Rachel Podger, Brecon Baroque, Modestas Pitrenas – Bach: Goldberg Variations Reimagined (2023)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/192 kHz | Time – 01:21:23 minutes | 2,77 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © Channel Classics
Imagining how Bach himself might have transformed the Goldbergs Variations for a chamber group, Rachel Podger and Brecon Baroque present a pioneering new arrangement of the Goldberg Variations by Chad Kelly. Employing a variety of instrumental combinations from a typical Bach ensemble of single strings, oboe, flute, bassoon and harpsichord, these newly-crafted Goldbergs illuminate exquisite responses to the various historical genres inherent in Bach’s scores. This beloved masterpiece was composed through a period of personal tumult for Bach; two unsuccessful job applications, the premature death of his son Gottfried, and criticism of his music in a prominent Hamburg publication. Bach’s outpouring of beauty in the Goldberg Variations has long captured audience’s imaginations – Chad Kelly, Rachel Podger and her fleet Brecon Baroque preserve the work’s exquisite intricacy whilst adding breadth, texture and colour to its emotional backdrop. This revisioning of Bach’s Goldberg Variations is a perfect transformation of the work for the modern era.

Now Paisley Park Enterprises, in collaboration with Sony Music Entertainment and Warner Records, will reissue “Diamonds And Pearls” in physical, digital and streaming formats.

Philippe Tondre presents the most important musical project of his life. There was no doubt about the choice of programme. The music of Robert Schumann is, in a way, his Madeleine de Proust. The Romances opus 94 rocked him from an early age and accompanied him throughout his studies. All these late works for instrument and piano by Heinz Holliger and Alfred Brendel, Alexeï and Leonid Ogrintchouk, Albrecht Mayer and Markus Becker were included in his first recordings. This project was an opportunity to rekindle the flame of many emotions that have marked him over the last fifteen years. These memories have guided him throughout the recording: every element of his musical education has played a part in this recording journey.

It charted at Number 1 in the UK and all five singles entered the UK Top 20. A limited edition of the record, ‘Very Relentless’ was also released including a six-track dance album, ‘Relentless’, which was also available at the time as a rare standalone album and limited to just 500 copies.
