About this product
The most exciting part of many concerts and recitals is the section at the end when the performer rewards the applause of the audience with one or more additional pieces. This album contains a number of favourite encores for solo instruments, as well as orchestral works and vocal pieces, performed at the end of many such concerts. The first disc opens with the excitingRonde des lutins by Bazzini, played with dazzling virtuosity by the violinist Maxim Vengerov, and continues with favourite violin encores by Paganini, Kreisler and Massenet. These are followed by popular piano encores by Chopin, Liszt and Debussy and the CD ends with encore pieces for a range of other instruments including the cello, the trumpet and the guitar, and comes to a rousing conclusion with the Widor 'Toccata' played on the organ of Coventry Cathedral by Wayne Marshall. CD 2 begins with orchestral encores then goes on to songs typically given at the end of vocal recitals performed by such eminent singers as Barbara Hendricks, Dame Janet Baker and Ian Bostridge. The last tracks four come from various live recordings where the enthusiastic applause of the audience adds enormously to the atmosphere. The singers include Victoria de los Angeles, Roberto Alagna and Angela Gheorghiu, and listeners will find it hard to resist joining Plácido Domingo and Cheryl Studer in the Brindisi from La traviata at the end.

DJ/Producer Ali Shaheed Muhammad is a hip-hop icon. As one-third of legendary hip-hop group A Tribe Called Quest, his influence and impact on the musical landscape is still felt today. Last year Muhammad received an invitation from Adrian Young to work on fellow Golden Era legends Souls of Mischief's There Is Only Now. He narrated the album playing a DJ for fictional local Oakland radio station K-NOW, while providing background music to accompany the narration. The results were impressive enough to ignite a creative burst in the two producers that quickly produced an album's worth of material in a matter of weeks. Muhammad shares his thoughts on Younge, InchHe's such an easy person to work with, he has such vision when it comes to music. We really get each other, and that's the other fun part of creating and finding a partner you're on the same wavelength with.Inch Excited to support the There Is Only Now album, Muhammad got to work on a ten-track remix album that carefully re-imagines the original. Looking for a different mix and sound, Muhammad shares, InchI wanted to make it as emotional and moving as the original compositions. So even though it's a remix, it has the feeling of an original work. But bringing something else to the sound.Inch
