Vinyl LP pressing. Formed in 2007, The Boxmasters have recorded an impressive and diverse catalogue of music that touches on their love of a wide array of influences, but most importantly, the rock and roll of the 1960's. Love & Hate In Desperate Places is their 17th album and the ten songs evince a wry perspective on human nature and love. The lively melodic rock cloaks the wry wit of the lyrics. The album was produced by The Boxmasters, Billy Bob Thornton and J.D. Andrew, who also wrote every song. Listening to The Boxmasters, one can hear obvious odes to the Beatles, Byrds and Beach Boys, but also important to The Boxmasters are The Mothers of Invention, Kris Kristofferson, John Prine and Big Star.

Viennese rising star Emmanuel Tjeknavorian presents his first orchestral album, featuring an unusual and yet highly personal programme. First there is his signature piece, Jean Sibelius's Violin Concerto, which brought him not one but two prizes at the 2015 Sibelius Competition, and which has been his debut on international concert stages ever since. Then there is the Violin Concerto by his father, Loris Tjeknavorian which he gives it's world premiere on this recording. As Emmanuel Tjeknavorian sees it, both of these violin concertos on this album share a strong relationship with their composers' origins. InchJust as Sibelius always expressed his Nordic roots in his music, so my father's proximity to the Armenian and Persian cultures is clearly recognizable in his compositions.Inch Critics and audiences alike rave about the young violinist's brilliant technique as well as saluting the astounding artistic maturity demonstrated by this young man from Vienna, praising his skill in combining Incha plucky approach and sweetness of tone.Inch The present album is a combination of the live recording from the artist's Frankfurt debut of the Sibelius work in March 2019 and a studio production of the Tjeknavorian concerto.
