Handel - Ode for St Cecilia's Day - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The rock 'n' roll era was a notorious boys club. Few girls got into the picture, and only one challenged the boys on their own terms Connie Francis. This long-overdue anthology, capped by many rare photos, is a generously full CD that mixes Connie's greatest hits (Who's Sorry Now, Stupid Cupid, My Happiness, Lipstick On Your Collar, Everybody's Somebody's Fool, Where The Boys Are... etc.) with some of Connie Francis most rockin' cuts, some from the fabulously rare 'Rock 'n' Roll Million Sellers' album.Connie Francis versions of songs like Tweedle Dee, It's Only Make Believe and others stand up well against the originals. In addition to the rare photos, the liner notes in the 32-page booklet draw upon extensive original interviews with Connie Francis and those who produced her and wrote songs for her, including Neil Sedaka.

The Choir Invisible, presents a highly anticipated debut album on Intakt Records. With Charlotte Greve, Vinnie Sperrazza and Chris Tordini, this trio, oscillating between improvisation and composition, brings together three significant voices from Brooklyn's creative music scene. InchThe Choir Invisible not only does everyone have equal rights, they also have equal responsibilities, as accompanists and soloists. All three are both melody and sound. The trio began playing without discussing anything at first. Over time all three then brought compositions along, which allowed them to strike varying paths and led to some highly distinctive tracks. No endless, boundless improvisations; instead a symbiosis of spontaneous currents and the urge for structure. The Choir Invisible might nicely describe the potential of a band which, with three instruments, manages to envisage enormous diversity, and much that is not spoken or played can be imagined or heard in our inner ear. In the far dimensions of the trio shines the polyphony of a choir. Euphoric yet rooted in daily life,Inch writes Bert Noglik in the liner notes.
