Guéthary

Aurèle Marthan

Classical - Released August 12, 2022 | Alpha Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
Ravel and the Basque Country have always been one and the same. His Concerto in G major is the central work of this album and is presented here in an original arrangement for piano and small ensemble. Pianist Aurèle Marthan also pays homage to his splendid hometown, Guéthary, where he founded the festival "Classic à Guéthary". All of the works recorded here illustrate the richness of a region that has been cherished by so many artists: Stravinsky arranged his Petrouchka in Biarritz, Pablo de Sarasate chose to reside there and Isaac Albéniz opted to spend his last days there. Another Basque celebrity, although on the Spanish side, is Alberto Iglesias, director Pedro Almodóvar’s house composer. The Basque coast is often compared to California because of its excellent beaches for surfing; Aurèle Marthan evokes the Eagles as well as his passion for the American minimalists (Glass) and for cinema, with music from the films Amen and Waltz with Bashir; he also provides a piano version of the Biarritz-based rock band La Femme’s hit Sur la planche. This album covers more than three centuries of music and includes music by Rameau and Couperin — the composer of La Basque ! Guéthary was written especially for this recording by composer David Chalmin, who also produced the recording in his studio in the Basque Country. © Alpha Classics

Passacalle de la Follie

Christina Pluhar

Classical - Released February 17, 2023 | Warner Classics

Hi-Res Booklet
The music on this album by countertenor Philippe Jaroussky, keyboardist Christina Pluhar, and Pluhar's ensemble L'Arpeggiata might qualify as obscure, with composers ranging from the barely moderately known (Robert de Visée, Marin Marais) to all but unheard-of, except by specialists. Pluhar's aim might indeed be called specialized; she seeks to illustrate the role of the passacaglia in the French air de cour ("court air") of the 17th century. The air de cour is not a common subject for recordings in itself beyond French Baroque circles, but surprise, surprise; this is an album of great general appeal that landed on classical best-seller lists in early 2023. The key to its appeal is that Pluhar and Jaroussky cast an entirely new light on the music of the French court, which has the reputation of having the mood of a closed-in hothouse. The perception of the instrumental music of the era comes from the gloomy rooms of the film Tous les matins du monde: that of the vocal pieces from the recollections of anyone who has visited Versailles. The perceptions are not incorrect, but what Pluhar and Jaroussky show is that the French tradition was bending under breezes coming from the south in the form of the passacaglia, here given its original Spanish name of passacalle. This dance, as it did elsewhere, introduced virtuosity into the French instrumental tradition, and there are several impressive works by de Visée here, handled confidently by members of L'Arpeggiata. Even a vocal piece like Michel Lambert's Ma bergère est tendre et fidèle, with its conventional shepherdess text, takes on a new sensuousness. All the pieces are passacaglias or closely related to them, yet the variety of treatments ensures that the program never drags. Jaroussky is the star draw here, though in truth, it is Pluhar's show, and she lives up to her reputation for delivering compelling programs.© James Manheim /TiVo

The Mavericks

Latin - Released August 21, 2020 | Mono Mundo Recordings

Hi-Res
The Mavericks, an Americana group formed in 1989, are known for a handful of tracks (All You Ever Do Is Bring Me Down, Dance the Night Away and Here Comes the Rain) and here release their first album in cuban,  the language of cofounder Raul Malo's ancestors. With both popular songs shared among the family and original compositions, En Español holds the sweet scent of a joyous party and western latino with its saloon guitars (La Sitiera), open-space ballads (Recuerdos), its Cuban styles (Me Voy a Pinar del Río), tex-mex songs with the illustrious singer and accordionist Flaco Jimenez (No Vale la Pena), joyous fanfare (Poder Vivir) and romantic mambo (Mujer). The arrangements are classic but ample, the singer determined and seductive. Of course, it is nothing revolutionary, but the perfect evocation of a popular and smiling America in which communities unite to celebrate the simple values of life. © Benjamin MiNiMuM/Qobuz

Un Ramo De Rosas

Luz Casal

Pop - Released November 1, 2011 | Parlophone Spain

Un Ramo de Rosas is the fourth compilation album by the world-famous diva of Spanish song Luz Casal, covering her illustrious three-decade career. Casal's eclectic artistic personality and immaculate taste are well served by these 15 selections, including Casal's signature songs, as many as four tracks from 2009's La Pasión, and three new entries: Violeta Parra's timeless "Gracias a la Vida," Dalida's "18 Años" (with the French lounge outfit Nouvelle Vague), and "Un Ramo de Rosas," written by Casal with Juan Cerro and Carolina Cortés. The Special Edition adds a second disc with another 15 tracks, effectively turning Un Ramo de Rosas into a double-disc compilation.© Mariano Prunes /TiVo
