Head of the family is legendary seven-string guitar player Bucky Pizzarelli, who performs and records frequently with acclaimed performers, sons John (guitar) and Martin (bass) … They are a rare family—one who plays together and stays together.” — ArtsPass “John Pizzarelli’s … extraordinary musical talents are matched by a wry humor, a quick wit, and an easygoing manner.” — L.A.

Roy Buchanan was one of America’s most soulful masters of the electric guitar. His reputation as “the world’s greatest guitarist” extends back to the beginnings of rock ‘n’ roll, when he first hit the road with Dale Hawkins.

The short-lived but successful The Electric Flag was formed in 1967 by guitarist Mike Bloomfield after he left the Paul Butterfield Blues Band. These live recordings are a testament to the eloquence and power of The Electric Flag.

This project, entitled Les Enfants de Rameau and modeled on variations by Dukas, received widespread critical acclaim.

· From her emergence in the 1950s onwards, Ester Mägi, born in Tallinn in 1922, has quietly built up a body of works that can be seen as among the most directly representative of Estonian national music; at the same time they also reflect the basic musical trends of the late twentieth century. · Although her music has never been at the center of any of the stylistic disputes that characterized the music of the past century, she has been recognized throughout her career as a sovereign, serious, and sincere composer. · Pianist Ada Kuuseoks (b. 1941) plays the entire piano literature from Purcell and Rameau to the present day, with an especial interest in Estonian composers. Mati Mikalai teaches piano at Tallinn Music High School and Estonian Academy of Music and Theatre.

Clarinetist Tarmo Pajusaar (b. 1969) has been an orchestral musician for over ten years. · Since 2004 Arvo Volmer (b. 1962) has been Artistic Director of the Estonian National Opera and Music Director of the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in Australia. From the 2002–2003 season Mihkel Kütson (b. 1971) has been First Kapellmeister in the Staatsoper Hannover. In October 2006, he won the German Conducting Prize. · The repertoire of the Estonian National Symphony Orchestra includes music from the Baroque period to premiere performances of modern works. The ERSO has been the first performer of the works of such world-famous Estonian composers as Arvo Pärt, Lepo Sumera, Eduard Tubin, and Erkki-Sven Tüür.

“Andrew Kennedy is a singer with fine powers of definition, whether of notes or words. He catches the gaiety of (for instance) that perfect final encore-song Jillian of Berry, as indeed he does the meditative quality of Autumn Twilight and the tenaderness of Cradle Song. Simon Lepper is a splendid accompanist.” — Gramophone, Jan 2007

“With sterling contributions of harpist Osian Ellis and English horn player Geoffrey Browne and the deeply dedicated playing of the London Philharmonic, Alwyn delivers interpretations that seem to have moved him as much as they will move anyone who hears this disc.”

“These are some of the fieriest performances of Bartók that I have heard, and Wood’s collaborators are just as inspired as he is!

His only extant instrumental works are an organ toccata and a book of Recercate et Canzone. Only one extant copy of this important print is known today, fortunately preserved in a museum in Bologna. · In this instrumental collection, as in the vocal works, one notes Quagliati’s perfect mastery of the contrapuntal techniques which he would have studied in his youth in the Veneto. At the same time, we may note his experimentation with new constructive solutions in instrumental writing.

Cueco’s obvious passion for rhythm was the inspiration for the 2005 Minnesota sur Seine Drum Conference … This year’s Drum Conference brings … the additional infusion of rhythmic insights from South American percussionist Mirtha Pozzi. This evening’s performance should raise an explosive energy to new heights in a promising carnival of warm rhythms.” — Minnesota sur Seine Festival

FIGHTERS OF WORLD WAR II Fighter aircraft were the front line of the air war in Europe during World War II. From the Urals to the Midlands, they provided the air cover for advancing infantry, defended the bombers as they penetrated deep into enemy territory, and fought ceaselessly for control of the air space over Europe. World War II was the first war where control of the air was fought over as tenaciously as was control of the ground beneath.

In this DVD, we see profiles of the planes that fought the air war over Europe—famous and infamous. From the early prototypes to the beginning of the jet age, this marvelous collection will be appreciated by every aviation enthusiast.
