”The arrival of the cello and cellists in the 20th century was lustrous and vivid. At the beginning of the century, Pablo Casals discovered a new the unique solo suites of Johann Sebastian Bach, leading to a turning point in music history. The wondrous sound and masterful lines of the suites have inspired practically all modern-day composers who have written for the cello, including Zoltan Kodaly, Gaspar Cassado and Peteris Vasks.

The present release is the result of a determined and independent search for sound. It represents a commitment shared between the composer, performer and producer to popularize a little known musical repertoire; one which has been largely ignored in recent contemporary Spanish compositional history, but one that is nevertheless deserving of recognition. In the search for this sound, we began with the composer Luis de Pablo (b. Bilbao, 1930), that indefatigable seeker with the wide intellectual profile. With his sterling reputation as an artist, a study of Luis de Pablo is an essential ingredient to any understanding of contemporary Spanish music.

It is the part the cello must interpret by assuming or acquiring a human nature. Dvořák transforms it into a warm lyrical baritone. He repopulates it with harmonics and nuances. And he shows us that the best way to overcome cello “limitations” is none other than to transcend it. Dvořák turns the cello into a meta-cello. Just as in a Mephistophelian pact, he achieves the feat of “animating” it. And the soul is in the score. You have to know how to find it. No one better to do it than Adolfo Gutiérrez Arenas, from his sensitivity, spontaneity and affinity to an instrument he would never have wanted to explore if Bach and Dvořák had not persuaded him otherwise.

The only available recordings from Satoshi Ashikawa, who passed away shortly after making this record. This was the second in a three record series called Wave Notation, which also included Hiroshi Yoshimura‘s Music for Nine Postcards and a collection of Erik Satie songs played by Satsuki Shibano - fittingly, fans of Yoshimura and Satie will find a lot to love here. Perfectly bare bones minimalism - just harp, piano, flute, and vibraphone. Crystalline, pastoral, picnic-ready. Midori Takada on both harp and vibraphone.

In 1954, Capitol Records released the 10" LP collection Eight Top Pops, compiling eight songs that had appeared on singles by Nat King Cole during 1952. The first two, "Somewhere Along the Way" and "Walkin' My Baby Back Home," were the biggest hits, both reaching number eight in Billboard. "Because You're Mine," Cole's cover of the Mario Lanza movie song (done in a far more relaxed style than Lanza's, of course), was also a major hit, reaching number 16. "Faith Can Move Mountains" and "The Ruby and the Pearl" were somewhat less successful, but still lodged in the Top 30, as did the B-sides "Funny (Not Much)" and "I'm Never Satisfied." The only one of the eight songs not to earn a chart placing was "A Weaver of Dreams," the B-side of the single "Wine, Women and Song." In 1963, Capitol expanded Eight Top Pops into the 12" LP Top Pops by adding two tracks at the end of either side of the original release. These four songs all came from an EP recorded by Cole in 1954, on which he covered hits by other performers, including Doris Day's "If I Give My Heart to You," the De Castro Singers' "Teach Me Tonight," and Perry Como's "Papa Loves Mambo".

2012 release from the German duo, a collaboration with young German Jazz sensations Julian & Roman. It's the kind of music you want to hear on a Sunday morning with a cup of coffee on your couch, watching the rain outside. It's a warm and mellow masterpiece which focuses on the amazing sound of Julian Wasserfuhr on trumpet and his brother Roman on piano. Classic Blank & Jones compositions like "Desire" or "Mind of the Wonderful" shine in these new Jazz interpretations and make it easy to chill out and fall in love with this record. The concept was developed over 12 months and the team wanted to create this magic atmosphere where time just stands still. This recording has the potential of a future classic and will stand the test of time for sure. Enjoy this beautiful record over and over again!

Takatoshi Naitoh’s 2001 album, "Birds in Paradise" intersects radiant, organic synth landscapes with deep field recordings of bird calls. The bird sounds gently descend the listener into a comfortable and low vantage point where the birds can be heard echoing through the vast land. They will prelude each synthetic segment and lead into the electronic counterpart quite nicely. Remarkable are the synth portions of this album. Not unlike a classical composition, Naitoh is showing us an aural movie with his fluid synthesizers arrangements. His music speaks of hesitancy, caution, relief, majestic conquest, mystical exploration, longing etc.
