Feist Metals
On October 4, FEIST returns with her highly anticipated new album, METALS. Its the follow-up to her 2007 breakout The Reminder, which earned her four Grammy nominations, six Juno wins and the opportunity to teach Muppets to count on Sesame Street. Recorded in Big Sur, California and co-produced by longtime collaborators Chilly Gonzales and Mocky, as well as newcomer Valgeir Sigursson (Bjork, Bonnie Prince Billy), METALS will be released in Canada on Arts & Crafts, marking Feists celebratory return to the world stage. METALS was written over three autumn months in 2010 in a tiny garage behind her house, after a year away from the spotlight. The songs range from low rumbling and moody ambiences to brutal and intense, as if it sonically maps the fog rolling in and the resulting cracking of thunder. Like The Reminder, this album is astoundingly intimate, yet often exuberant; rife with transcendent and unforgettable pop gems.

Ryan Adams will release his new album Ashes & Fire October 11 on PAX-AM/Capitol. This is Adams first solo album to be released via a new U.S. arrangement with his own PAX-AM label and EMIs Capitol in the U.S. and Canada, the album was recorded at Sunset Sound Factory in Hollywood and produced by Glyn Johns, renowned for his work with the likes of The Beatles, Bob Dylan, The Clash, The Who and The Rolling Stones--and whose son Ethan produced previous Ryan Adams albums Heartbreaker, Gold and 29.

The Callas Effect

Maria Callas

2 EDITIONS, 2 PRICE POINTS, 1 ICONIC OPERA SUPERSTAR!!

Her reputation, extremely high when she died, has become ever greater in the years since her death. As a personality she remains controversial, but as an artist hardly at all: her genius is recognized as supreme by virtually all opera lovers, indeed it is often from listening to her many recordings that people discover what an incredibly potent art form opera can be. - BBC Music Magazine Maria Callas is the ultimate and original diva. She is widely regarded as the greatest opera singer and performer of all time whose life, voice and performances have intrigued, thrilled and inspired all who have come after her. Widely regarded for her intense characterizations and unique interpretations, Callas has transcended opera to become a cultural icon whose influence touches all corners of the art world. 2012 marks the 35th anniversary of her death. The Callas Effect, in two exclusive editions, is a collection of opera arias highlighting her spectacular climb to fame, reflecting her transition in life from innocent young woman to tragic heroine in her later years through the opera arias she recorded. The Standard Edition 2-CD set contains a 32 page booklet and full access to bonus content on the official Maria Callas website. The Experience Edition 2-CD set features a 60 page booklet, full access to bonus content on the Maria Callas website AND a exclusive 75 minute documentary on DVD! Featuring the most special and exquisitely interpreted arias of her output, The Callas Effect also includes a special introduction written by noted journalist Ira Siff. The DVD documentary found in the Experience Edition reveals powerful first-hand accounts that have not before been revealed of how and why Callas has exerted a unique and extraordinary effect on other celebrity opera singers, on distinguished stage directors, on actors and actresses, on backstage theatre crews, on recording staff, on impresarios, on audiences who queued up for days and nights to see her, and now on young music-lovers. According to recent research commissioned by EMI Music Global: 57% of people recognize Maria Callas globally!

ADAM COHEN
LIKE A MAN
The son of the legendary Leonard Cohen, all his life Adam had sought an artistic space beyond the reach of his fathers looming shadow. I was never terribly pre-occupied with living up to my family name, comments Adam: It was not until I was sitting at the dinner table with my father the left and my two year old son to the right, did I realise that I really wanted to, and I was ready to. The result of this epiphany is Adams new album, Like A Man. Like A Man is steeped in my recognizing that I am in the family business. Despite my efforts to carve out a different identity, really I belong to a long line of people who have embraced their fathers business. And to have my father pronounce that I have world-class love songs on my record Like A Man and What Other Guy is a deeply gratifying compliment, says Adam.

Again Into Eyes

Debut album from highly-buzzed about London 5-piece Based in London, S.C.U.M exploded onto the music scene two years ago with the release of their debut single Visions Arise. The single, together with their exciting and intense live shows, quickly grabbed the imagination of fans and critics alike. Since then band have toured extensively across the UK and Europe to a growing fan base, most recently opening for The Kills. S.C.U.Ms debut album, Again Into Eyes is a triumphant arrival. It reels from carnival-esque toughness to a second side that comes close to despair before mainlined redemption in the form of Whitechapel, a utopian, future-disco monolith, washed in otherworldly Mellotron and Choirs, its perhaps the biggest surprise on the record.

MGMT

Late Night Tales

Formed in 2002 in Brooklyn, New York the band consists of multi-instrumentalists Andrew VanWyngarden and Ben Goldwasser, both alumni of Wesleyan University. Their 2008 debut album Oracular Spectacular spawned the almost ubiquitous hit singles Kids, Time To Pretend and Electric Feel while 2010s follow up Congratulations saw them embrace more of a progressive, guitar-driven sound. The bands Late Night Tales selection of post-punk, cult indie and counter-culture figureheads reflects the bands multifaceted sound, and draws comparisons with contemporary dreampop/chillwave/shoegaze/folk scenes on both sides of the Atlantic. The listener finds MGMT presiding over the playlist after-the-after-party; Luminaries The Velvet Underground, Suicide and Julian Cope, although not with their most famous songs, sit alongside less familiar names such as Disco Inferno; whose Cant See It Through from their final 96 album Technicolour opens proceedings. MGMTs exclusive cover of All We Ever Wanted Was Everything by Bauhaus sits comfortably alongside the UK post-punk-gothic bands peers The Durutti Column, The Chills, The Jacobites and Felts brief but imposing instrumental Red Indians. Paranoia strikes deep: the double header of Cheval Sombres Troubled Mind and Drug Song by 60s Christian folk singer Dave Bixby accentuate the hope offered by the ever penitent Spacemen 3 (MGMTs second album Congratulations was recorded CD - Jewel Case with founder Pete Kember aka Sonic Boom), who deliver Lord Can You Hear Me? in respect P273 78181B - $ 10.21 to the beautiful closer Morning Splendor, taken from Pauline Anna Stroms rare 82 LP Trans-Millenia Consort.

The Sainthood Reps

Monoculture
Sainthood Reps debut album Monoculture is a work influenced by early 90s post-hardcore and contemporary post-rock as well as other artistic avenues, with much of the lyrical content derived from historical perspective gathered via films and books rather than personal experience. Recorded in their native Long Island with producer Mike Sapone (Brand New, Crime in Stereo, The Xcerts), the album achieves a balance between jagged, uneasy, sometimes harsh distortion and fuzz and a sound that feels equally ethereal, reflective and progressive.

Dating to 1979, The Varukers are considered part of the UK82 or second wave of English hardcore punk. Alongside their peers (Discharge, Amebix, Chaos UK, GBH), the band were heavily fueled by the energies and ideologies of 1977-era punk. The band would tour heavily, splinter for several years, and throughout their history gained and maintained a loyal and passionate fanbase. The Damnation of Our Species is a 2cd career retrospect of the band. Disc one contains tracks taken from the bands 1984 self-released One Struggle One Fight album and 1998s Murder album. Disc two compiles selections from the bands self-released 2000 album How Do you Sleep (originally released and sold on the bands American tour followed by a license to Go Kart Records) plus songs from 2009s Killing Myself to Live.

Joey & Rory A Farmhouse Christmas

Award-winning duo Joey+Rory have set October 11, 2011 as the release date for their A Farmhouse Christmas album on Sugar Hill Records. In a unique move for holiday albums, 10 of the 12 cuts on the new CD are either new songs or cuts never released as Christmas songs. The farmhouse Christmas theme for this album is right at home for the duo, as their personal lives are rooted in the 1870s farmhouse where they live in the small community of Pottsville, TN. We made this record with hopes of trying to bring the listener into our home and share a small piece of our world at Christmas time with them, Joey says. Christmas means so much to Joey and me, Rory adds. It brings on so many feelings that other times of the year just dont. We seem to laugh (and eat) more, think deeper, reminisce more, and for a short time, most of our priorities all come into perspective.

Murs

Love And Rockets Vol. 1 - The Transformation

Murs is the hardest-working rapper alive. If hes not running circles around America as part of Paid Dues, the annual hip-hop festival that he created and organized, hes doing backflips across a stage in Budapest, or shaking hands with fans in Japan before catching a bullet train to a packed in-store performance. When hes not on the road, hes in the studio, feverishly adding album after album to a cavernous discography which boasts projects released by major-label behemoths like Warner Bros. clear across the industry spectrum to indie powerhouses like Rhymesayers and Def Jux, a testament to the respect this man commands from the underground and commercial world alike. And all from a guy who only got a manager three years ago.

Their intelligently composed and cleverly arranged songs mix metal, pop, funk, disco, goth and folk with Arabian and Oriental influences plus other more or less extreme musical styles into a homogenous whole. PAIN OF SALVATION consciously do without any kind of artistic compromise, the only criterion for their compositions being top quality and profound contents.

Alexandre Tharaud, one of the leading pianists of this generation, releases a new collection of Bach keyboard concertos with the dynamic period-instrument ensemble from Quebec - Les Violons du Roy - under director Bernard Labadie. The new recording features a fusion of modern and historically informed performance styles. Comprised of four of Bachs finest concertos for solo keyboard, the album includes a composition for four separate pianos, BWV 1065, in which thanks to studio technology Tharaud plays all four solo parts. Throughout this and the other concertos, Tharaud displays the extraordinary sense of poise and communicative power that has made him a superstar in Europe and Quebec, and has US classical press buzzing about his talents.

Max Emanuel Cencic

Vivaldi: Il Farnace
The world premiere recording of Viviadis Il Farnace in a version that Vivaldi prepared specially for the city of Ferrara in 1737-38 after its success in Venice. This is not only the first time the Ferrara version of Farnace has been recorded, but also the first time it has been heard, as the planned performances of 1738 were cancelled due to the local failure of the Vivaldi opera that preceded it, Siroe. Farnace was never staged again anywhere, and the only surviving trace of its music is in the form of an incomplete score carefully notated and preserved by Vivaldi in his personal collection. It is the only remaining opera of Vivaldi never to have been performed since the composers time. Chances are that Vivaldi never completed this Farance, however, with the reconstruction of the third act by Diego Fasolis and Frdric Delama, this recording presents a rare opportunity to discover a work bursting with riches, the last fruit of Vivaldis unprecedented operatic output. In this recording, the cast is led by the brilliant countertenor Max Emanuel Cencic in the title role with the support of conductor Diego Fasolis and the I Barocchisti ensemble.

Faur: Requiem
Paavo Jrvi
With Philippe Jaroussky; Matthias Goerne; Choeur de lOrchestre de Paris; Orchestre de Paris
Paavo Jrvi devotes his new recording to music by one French composer Gabriel Faur. Faurs serene and consoling Requiem is the centerpiece of the album, which also features three other classic Faur pieces and one lesser known, but nonetheless beautiful, work. The Requiem features two vocal soloists, usually a soprano and a baritone. Here, however, a countertenor, Philippe Jaroussky, brings his ethereal timbre and sensitive phrasing to the poised Pie Jesu. His baritone colleague is the warm-toned German Matthias Goerne, acknowledged as one of todays finest vocal recitalists. The Chur de lOrchestre de Paris also performs in three other works on the CD including the exquisite Pavane, with its flowing melody and mock-Rococo verses, and two early works to religious texts, the touching Cantique de Jean Racine and the world premiere recording of Super Flumina Babylonis (By the Rivers of Babylon). Completing the program is the reflective, but impassioned Elgie for cello and orchestra, performed by the Orchestre de Paris Principal Cellist, Eric Picard.

Rossini: William Tell

Antonio Pappano
**THIS IS THE STANDARD VERSION OF THIS ALBUM REPLACING THE LIMITED EDITION VERSION THAT WAS RELEASED IN AUGUST 2011 & IS NOW NO LONGER AVAILABLE** Rossinis final French Grand-Opra, William Tell is brought vividly to life by Antonio Pappano in this brand new recording. Recorded live in October and December 2010 at the Accademias home Auditorium Parco della Musica, this 4-disc set is a new operatic offering. (disc four is a CD-ROM with booklet notes & libretto) The many cinematic and television appearances of the famous theme from the overture, including A Clockwork Orange and The Eagle Shooting Heroes, makes this one of the few works to be known universally way beyond the opera-loving public. In addition to the overture, there are many other great moments to discover amongst the arias, finales, spectacular crowd scenes, chorus and dances. Joining Pappano is the Orchestra e Coro dellAccademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia under his musical directorship and a stellar international cast featuring by Canadian baritone Gerald Finley in the title role and American tenor John Osborn.

The Treasury of English Church Music

Various Artists
This monumental 5-disc set of recordings was originally issued in 1966 as five long-playing records on the HMV label of performances given by the Ambrosian Singers as well as by the choirs of Westminster Abbey and of Guildford, St Pauls and Chichester cathedrals. The recordings were intended to complement, and were released along with, an innovative and ambitious five-volume printed anthology The Treasury of English Church Music which had been published the previous year. Those volumes consisted of some 1100 pages of music, much of it newly edited, and constituted a comprehensive survey of English church music over a period of more than eight centuries, from the earliest English liturgical polyphony to the latest compositions of Kenneth Leighton and Peter Maxwell Davies. For the present reissue, some contemporary recordings by these and other choirs have been added as bonus tracks, in part so that the overall selection of music should more accurately reflect the broad repertory of cathedral, collegiate and parish church choirs of modern times. CD 1 opens with the personal and perceptive speech given at the series launch by Herbert Howells, a composer as eloquent and articulate with the written and spoken word as he was with the printed note. The disc continues by surveying the rich tapestry of English church music from 1100 to 1540, with its broad and complex range of liturgical forms and musical styles. CD 2 spans the fertile period of almost a century between the introduction of the 1549 prayer book and the suspension of church services in the 1640s. The Restoration of the monarchy in 1660 after 15 years of Puritan rule marked the dawn of a new age in church music. The principal features of the Restoration style were angular melodies and chromatic inflections, often in conjunction with an adventurous approach to the treatment of dissonance. CD 3 explores the music of this period and of the first half of the 18th century. CD 4 encompasses the music of the late 18th and 19th centuries, including that of Battishill, Crotch, and S. S. Wesley, as well as two Irish-born composers, Charles Wood and Charles Stanford. CD 5 includes music by four of the leading figures of late 20th-century English music: Elgar, Vaughan Williams, Britten and Walton.

ICON The Essential Music from the Worlds Greatest Artists!

This series pays homage to some of the greatest recording artists with elegantly-packaged multi-CD sets devoted to their finest recordings. These three titles showcase the talent of composer Vernon Handley, and the conductors Charles Mackerras and William Steinberg.

Vernon Handley

CORE CLASSICS

Champion of British Music

Handley was a great champion of British music. This set of 5 CDs showcases recordings of Handley conducting five of the UKs great orchestras. It was in 1984 with Tod Handley that a 28-year-old Nigel Kennedy made his debut recording of the Elgar Concerto, here heard on disc one. The first three CDs in the set comprise works by English composers; the other two illustrate Handley conducting two great concertos from the standard repertoire, both with Tasmin Little, some charming Faur and popular Russian music.

Charles Mackerras

Master of Orchestral Texture

Sir Charles Mackerras arrived in England in 1947 with the intention of becoming a conductor and joined the Sadlers Wells orchestra as a wind player. He soon won a British Council scholarship to study conducting with Vaclav Talich in Prague and it was whilst there that he discovered and fell in love with the music of Jancek. Returning to London, Sir Charles began his life-long association with Sadlers Wells Opera (now English National Opera), developing his reputation as a significant conductor of the works of Jancek, as well as for those of Handel, Gluck, Mozart, Britten, Sullivan and many others. As well as Sir Charless first recording of Janceks Sinfonietta, this 5-CD set also showcases him performing the music of other composers whose music he was particularly famed for the world over.

William Steinberg

The Disciplined Master Conductor

This set of 20 CDs presents virtually everything that was recorded by Steinberg during the seven years that he recorded for Capitol: from the Schubert Second Symphony, recorded on 9 February 1952, to the Italian Serenade by Wolf, from 16 April 1959. These recordings show that Capitol Records were at the technical forefront when it came to sound quality and production values. The earlier recordings were, of course, made in mono and come up surprisingly well on CD. From 1956 onwards, the recordings were made in stereo. A selection of recordings, both mono and stereo, is here being released on CD for the first time. Also included are the recordings of Strauss that Steinberg and the Capitol Records producer, Richard C. Jones, made with the Philharmonia Orchestra in London, in June 1957.

BRITISH COMPOSERS SERIES: MICHAEL NYMAN

CONCERTOS

Here is the latest installment to the British Composers Series, which celebrates the influential and diverse career in music of composer Michael Nyman.
Affirming his status as an innovator in orchestral music, these three concertos demonstrate a bold reinterpretation of musical traditions. The collection includes Nymans Double Concerto for Saxophone, Cello and Orchestra, and the virtuosic Concerto for Harpsichord and Strings, both of which illustrate Nymans inventive approach to timbre. The album concludes with the Concerto for Trombone and Orchestra, a dramatic and tumultuous conflict between instruments.

STRING QUARTET nO. 4, THREE QUARTETS

This album explores two compelling examples of Michael Nymans writing for string quartet through the String Quartet No.4 and the single-movement 3 Quartets, in which the ensemble is complemented by the addition of saxophone and brass quartets. If the String Quartet is notable for its sequence of compact and closely-linked movements, 3 Quartets, by contrast, is characterized by variety, a vehicle for shifting textures and contrasting tempos.

PETER GREENAWAY FILM MUSIC

Michael Nyman is particularly recognized for his work in film composition, showcased here in his soundtracks for Peter Greenaway. Often building upon pre-existing sources, from Purcell to Mozart, by blending in aspects of popular music and minimalist techniques, Nymans compositions transformed how the role of film music is understood, while complementing Greenaways avant-garde creations.
