Roger Kardinal - Along the Way - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The great French pianist Roger Muraro joins Alpha Classics for several recording projects. Born in Lyon to Venetian parents, he was a pupil of Yvonne Loriod and is regarded as the leading specialist in the music of Olivier Messiaen, to which he has devoted much of his career. But this noted pedagogue, a former professor at the Conservatoire National Superieur de Paris, is also renowned for his profound and sensitive approach to the music of Ravel, Chopin, Schumann - and Liszt, of whom he is particularly fond. He now presents a monumental masterwork by Liszt which is in his view a work of 'universal intimacy' 'I admire the freedom with which the evocations of the soul, of nature, of the colours of the masters of Italian painting unfold in succession. Everything Liszt saw during his pilgrimage to Switzerland and Italy contributed to a process of reflection, a journey, a quest to bring him closer to his ideal where silence became the ultimate authority.'

Niamh Parsons is one of the most powerful Celtic female vocalists performing today, and along with her band, the Loose Connections, she is becoming one of the hottest properties on both traditional and contemporary music circuits. Loosen Up is a beautiful album of touching ballads, eclectic pop songs and genre-stretching instrumentals. The album's style bounces from the Cajun flavoring of InchThe Big Bad Wolf,Inch to the Spanish moods of InchFancy Waistcoat,Inch closing with the a cappella track, InchReconciliation.Inch

Vinyl LP pressing. This project is the culmination of his Webby Wednesday campaign which started this past March and had him dropping a new piece of content every Wednesday. Since the launch he's sold thousands of singles, had millions of streams, and has been on several tours. It's been a very effective campaign for him - and very impressive that he was able to see it through. Chris Webby has released many EPs and mixtapes such as the DJ Drama-hosted Bars On Me (2012) and his There Goes the Neighborhood EP (2011), which peaked at #101 on the Billboard 200. He has recorded songs with various artists such as Freeway, Mac Miller, Joell Ortiz, Big K.R.I.T., Method Man, Prodigy, Gatzby, Bun B, Tech N9ne, and Kid Ink. His official debut album Chemically Imbalanced peaked at #25 on the Billboard 200 in 2014.
