“The Pavel Haas Quartet play with plenty of feeling and they also relish the rhythmic cut and thrust of the Molto vivace third movement, capturing to perfection the more relaxed Trio''s sunny spirit.The final opens to a gentle smile then keys up for some dancing exuberance...there''s an abundance of varied drama” Gramophone Magazine, December 2010

Bach: Motets – Collegium Vocale Gent/Herreweghe

So fast has the early music movement grown that it is difficult to believe that it''s 30 years since Philippe Herreweghe''s fresh-voiced choir first recorded the Bach motets. They now revisit these peerless masterpieces with young voices and a very varied approach to scoring. These days, directors tend to choose between one singer to a part, or a larger choral approach, sometimes doubling voices with instruments; Herreweghe does all three here with different motets. Jesu, meine freude with just five soloists and continuo is perfectly poised, while Singet dem Herrn (which Mozart so revered) and Der Geist hilft burst into life with more singers and instruments. Throughout, Herreweghe achieves a supremely flexible responsiveness to the texts.

- Best Of Barbershop

The melody is consistently sung by the lead, with the tenor harmonising above the melody, the bass singing the lowest harmonising notes, and the baritone completing the chord. • Barbershop Quartetting, quite possibly the earliest form of boy band music, is making a comeback, and four young men from the north of England who go by the name The Great British Barbershop Boys are leading the way. This disc contains all the essential styles of the genre performed by various skilled performers.

- The Man I Love
	More Info !	Here are three great stars united for the first time in an album created by Frank Sinatra/ In all selections,Peggy Lee’s singing sounds warmer-more intimate-than ever before or since in her entire recording career. The magnetic appeal of her voice is enhanced by a large string and woodwind orchestra conducted by Frank Sinatra. In his earlier album Tone Poems of Color,he displayed impressive skill as the conductor of purely instrumental music. Now,backing Peggy Lee,he adds to that skill his own sure understanding of a singer’ s requirements. The arrangements by the great Nelson Riddle are among the finest that he has written. The collaboration of these outstanding artists brings fresh new expression to every one of the familiar love songs in this album.
