Responding to a comment that the foreground of his Western photographs feels like a stage set, the photographer and auteur Wim Wenders suggests, Inchthat impression is basic to the American West. Everything people have built there has a highly theatrical air.Inch This animates Places of Consequence, the second album and first solo LP from Cameron Knowler, which deploys guitar and banjo as cinematic tools to soundtrack and investigate the region. InchDespite the fact that the lightheartedness of youth lifts and the problematic components of the West reveal themselves over time,Inch Knowler says, Inchthere are still ways of harnessing the space to richly creative ends.Inch Single InchPuerto Suelo,Inch which features acoustic and electric guitars playing in unison and a small orchestra of kitchen utensils, shows Knowler's knack for gorgeous melodies, and nods to LA session wizards like Blake Mills or Sam Gendel. Places of Consequence is testament to making the effort, and a document of Knowler's clear talent.Inch1) I'm an Old Cowhand2) Sonora Road3) Supertone Biome4) Done Gone5) Don Bishop A6) Atelier de Stein7) Cindy, Cindy8) Cat Spring9) Motoring Addiction10) Puerto Suelo11) Second Train to Alamogordo12) Lone Prairie13) Lena's Spanish Fandango14) KuyinaInch

The first volume of the Naxos selection of operatic excerpts includes music ranging from Mozart to Puccini. The first of these composers is represented by the famous aria of the Queen of the Night from The Magic Flute. Mozart had settled in Vienna, independent of a patron and of his father's guidance, in 1781. Ten years later, after variable successes, his fortunes seemed about to take a turn for the better. In 1791, the year of his death, he w rote two operas, the coronation opera La clemenza di Tito for Prague and the German Singspiel Die Zauberflöte (The Magic Flute) for a suburban theatre in Vienna. The latter was still running at the time of his death in early December. The opera, imbued with Masonic symbolism and with a libretto by the actor-manager Emanuel Schikaneder, who took a leading comic role in the work, deals with the ordeals and initiation of Tamino and his earthier companion, the bird-catcher Papageno, into the mysteries of enlightenment and his final union with Pamina, daughter of the Queen of the Night. In the first act of the opera the latter appears to Tamino, seeking his help in the rescue of her daughter from Sarastro, whom she brands as evil, although it later transpires that he is the leader of the enlightened band into which Tamino is eventually admitted. In Der Hölle Rache she declares, in brilliant coloratura, her enmity to her former consort Sarastro.
