Lieberson,Peter / Serkin - In Real Time - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Les Délices, which includes Baroque oboist Debra Nagy, Mélisande Corriveau on viola da gamba, and Eric Milnes on harpsichord, explores the dramatic potential and emotional resonance of long-forgotten music. Founded by Nagy in 2009, Les Délices has established a reputation for their unique programs that are Inchthematically concise, richly expressive, and featuring composers few people have heard of.Inch The New York Times added, InchConcerts and recordings by Les Délices are journeys of discovery.Inch Songs Without Words, Les Délices' second on Navona Records, was initially inspired by the artists' desire to recover a lost repertory. While Baroque woodwinds were invented in the 1660s and 70s, no published solo music exists for them prior to 1700. The initial question that Songs Without Words sought to answer was, InchWhat do you suppose oboists and flutists had been playing during those 30-plus years?Inch Motivated by the sensuous sounds and rhythms of the French language, and enabled by advances in instrument building, 17th century woodwind players adapted vocal airs - complete with rich and complex ornamentation - as a source of solo repertoire. While recording Songs Without Words initially presented an opportunity to discover and present that lost practice, as a 21st-century musician, Nagy chose to expand her own repertoire with 20th Century with jazz standards and pop tunes - from artists as diverse as Lennon and McCartney, Patsy Cline and Willie Nelson, Edith Piaf and Erroll Garner - arranged for and improvised by the ensemble. The French airs on the album are by some of the greatest writers of the 17th century Michel Lambert, Jean-Baptiste de Bousset, and Jean-Philippe Rameau. Programming jazz standards and pop songs on Baroque instruments might seem a risky proposition. In the hands of Les Délices, however, the performances are soulful and compelling. The in

Rochelle Jordan is proudly stepping into her diva era. To those in the know, the Los Angeles-based British-Canadian singer and songwriter has long been an underground force coaxing together the mutually flirtatious scenes of daring alt-R&B and heart-pumping electronic music. With her longtime creative director/producer KLSH, she's cultivated a singular marriage of sound - mixing soulful sensuality, house bump, DnB wildness, hip-hop swagger, and pure experimentalism - that's spread not only through certain circles, but also to the mainstream. At the same time that her gauzy 2014 single InchLowkeyInch was going viral in 2023 - racking up 21 million streams on Spotify alone - she was in the studio cooking with tastemaking beatsmiths like KAYTRANADA and Sango, quietly preparing to melt dance floors and headphones alike. Now, as the timelines merge, Jordan is approaching success with the sparkle of a brand new star and the stance of someone who's earned everything she has. Her new musical chapter aims to carry forward the magic that fans feel in her coquettish vocals and bold soundscapes even as she reaches deeper into her pop bag. The fact that her first single of 2025, the darkly dazzling InchCrave,Inch was produced by Chicago house legend Terry Hunter (Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Beyoncé) speaks volumes to this exact moment in Jordan's ascendent trajectory. InchMy goal when I first started making music was to bring back something that I felt had started to fade away for me,Inch says Jordan. InchThat certain essence or sound that would give me butterflies in my stomach when I'd listen to music - it would unleash some kind of chemical that would make me feel happy and excitable and curious, something that would make my soul shine. My number one goal is always How do I give people that feeling when they listen to my music?Inch Jordan grew up in Toronto raised by British-
