18th-century Europe has been a period of production of a huge amount of instrumental chamber music particularly fashioned to the delight and entertainment of the society's upper classes. In the Rococo, especially the rising bourgeoisie was familiar enough with the language of music to be both consumers and active participants, with an ever-growing demand for musical novelty for their entertainment in private salons. The thriving market in chamber-music part-sets for domestic use (a score was considered unnecessary) was served by many professional musicians who worked outside the traditional spheres, as have been the church or the theatre. These interpreters-composers were chiefly violinists, but also flautists and oboists, often leading an itinerant life throughout Europe.The Pla brothers belonged to this kind of itinerant virtuosos: born into a Catalan family of musicians, they were excellent oboists, but played other instruments as well, and composed. Manuel Pla, known to have played also violin and harpsichord, established himself in Madrid as a military musician and theatre composer, probably remaining there until his death in 1766. Josep and Joan Baptista plied their trade outside Spain, as chamber music enjoyed limited popularity in their home country. From about 1751 they toured the courts and concert halls of the main European capitals, performing together. Apparently, the two brothers composed most of their sonatas together. After Josep's death in 1762, Joan Baptista continued alone, as oboist, bassoonist and dulcimer virtuoso, settling at the court in Lisbon from 1769 until his death in 1773. Being famous for the sweetnes and the brilliance of their playing, they were celebrated wherever they appeared. Nowadays, their music is still relatively unknown and very few of their works have been edited, performed or recorded. Almost hundred orchestral and chamber works by the Pla brothers survive in manuscript copies or old printed editions and there are references in various catalogues by 18th-century editors, of many others, which are still to be discovered.

"Hunter" to trzeci pełnowymiarowy album artystki, który ukazał się 31 sierpnia 2018 nakładem Domino. Utalentowana Angielka ma już na koncie występy u boku m.in. Nicka Cave`a, Arctic Monkeys czy Interpol. Nie przypadkiem to stały współpracownik Cave'a - producent Nick Launay - odpowiada za brzmienie jej nowego albumu. "Hunter" to pierwszy materiał Calvi od czasu EPki "Strange Weather" nagranej wspólnie z legendą - Davidem Byrne'm. Anna podkreśla, że "Hunter" to dla niej manifest wolności, płyta queer'owa i feministyczna, przełamująca płciowe uprzedzenia i zadziwiająca swobodą ekspresji artystycznej i seksualnej tożsamości. "Cały czas czegoś poszukuję - pragnę doświadczenia, intymności, seksualnej wolności. Chcę siły, chcę czuć się chroniona i pragnę znaleźć coś pięknego w całym tym chaosie". Autorka
‘Chopin’s music presents us with a strange paradox' writes Yevgeny Sudbin in his liner notes to this recording. In Sudbin’s own experience, the music’s direct emotional appeal makes it instantly accessible to most listeners, but to the interpreter ‘it becomes a tough balancing act: on the one side, naïvety and blandness threaten, while, on the other side, a laboured and contrived approach could potentially damage the music'. Sudbin's own approach has been influenced by Chopin's own words regarding interpretation: 'Simplicity is the highest goal, achievable when you have overcome all difficulties.' But, as he recounts, he is also fascinated by historic recordings by legends such as Ignaz Friedman and Benno Moiseiwitch – performances which have made an impact on him on account of the highly personal playing: 'the beguiling rhythmic swings, freedom in phrasing, articulation that tickles you all over…' Sudbin opens his own Chopin recital with the expansive Fantaisie in F minor – sometimes described as the composer's 'grandest work' – continuing with a selection of pieces from three genres that are strongly associated with Chopin: Mazurkas, Nocturnes and the Ballades Nos 3 and 4. Following the 2005 release of his second disc, Piano Magazine described Yevgeny Sudbin in lyrical terms as 'a fearless technician with an all-encompassing command of his instrument; a musical dramatist of exceptional acumen and sophistication; a poet who moves seamlessly between unbridled rhetoric and extreme intimacy; a stylist who catches the particular spirit of everything he plays' – all qualities which would seem to be conducive to a memorable Chopin recital, and which Sudbin certainly brings to the fore in the encore À la minute, his own paraphrase on the composer's 'Minute Waltz'.

Hermann the Criple of Reichenau był geniuszem w wielu dziedzinach, „cudem wieku”. Był biegłym matematykiem, astronomem, zajmował się obliczeniami dat a także teorią muzyki. Komponował pieśni na cześć świętych, które odkryto zupełnie niedawno podczas badań muzykologicznych. Znakomity i doświadczony w takiej twórczości zespół Ordo Virtutum (zespół dla wykonywania muzyki średniowiecznej – jak często dodają w nazwie) nagrał całość odkrytych kompozycji Hermanna of Reichenau. W tysiącletnią rocznicę śmierci kompozytora odkrywają na nowo „wyjątkową słodycz” jego pieśni.

Witajcie w ogrodzie nieziemskiego szczęścia. Przez wodospad marzeń, za białym światłem lodowej kurtyny znajduje się bujny, zielony świat, gdzie dziecięca naiwność i starożytna mądrość są jednym. Wstępujcie śmiało imperialni pielgrzymi, rajska dżungla jest znakiem trzeciego wieku Empire of the Sun. „Podczas nagrywania płyty mieliśmy w głowie pewną wizję, jeszcze zanim napisaliśmy tytułowy utwór Two Vines.
