At first glance, the Exploding Hearts seem like mere revivalists. From the pink and yellow cover to their 1977 looks to their influences, it would be easy to dismiss them. But you need to hold the phone a minute and listen, because the Exploding Hearts are the best punk band to come along in a long time, maybe since the original wave. About those influences, here is a partial list: the early Clash if Mick Jones wrote all the songs and the Only Ones or Buzzcocks ...

Stravinsky: Le Sacre Du Printemps, Etc / Abbado, London So
$12.65
As ensemble Due Solisti, Vokalkova and Scheide have toured the Czech Republic, Germany, and the United States. Vokalkova teaches at the Prague Conservatory; Scheide at Henderson State University. Each maintains an active solo career, with additional recodings on the HLM, OHS and Raven labels.There is some irony attached to playing works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791) on flute and organ. Mozart created a number of sublime masterpieces for the flute, an instrument he loathed. The organ, which he seems to have viewed as a vehicle for improvisation, remained always his favorite instrumnet, yet he left no significant compositions for it. Most of the pieces presented in this recording have been arranged by Dr. Scheide. Cognoscenti will find these transcriptions logical as well as beautiful.Dutch HLM recording. Notes in English and French.REVIEW FROM JULY 2004 DIAPASON, pp. 12-13W. A. Mozart in Prague. Zofie Vokálková, flute; Kathleen Scheide, organ. Recorded in St. Wenceslas Church,Prague. HLM Classics CD HLMC 004. Sometimes a good recording can be overlooked simply because at first sight it seems to obscure for anyone to take anynotice of it. W. A. Mozart in Prague is a good example of this, consisting as it does of a bunch of relatively obscure Mozartpieces, transcribed for solo flute and accompanied on a little-known one-manual organ in Prague. Do not let its apparentobscurity put you off, however, for this CD is an absolute gem. Both performers are college professors -- Mrs. Vokálková-Srámková at the Prague Conservatory in the Czech Republic,and Dr. Scheide at Henderson State University in Arkadelphia, Arkansas. The organ used in the recording is a one-manual andpedal instrument of thirteen ranks, built around the turn of the twentieth century. The church in which it is situated -- St.Wenceslas, Prague -- has a good acoustic, with a reverberation period, I would say, of two or three seconds. The instrumenthas a pleasant though gentle chorus from 8' Principal to 3-rank Mixture,together with some interesting strings, including a raretwo-rank 4' Wox [sic] Angelica. At one or two points it is difficult to know that the flute is not being accompanied by a realstring orchestra. The flutes -- an 8' Kryt (= Czech for Gedeckt) and a 4' Flétna -- are the perfect ...

$11.99
Ambre began piano studies with her mother at the age of 3 and gave her first concert at age 5. In 1990 at age 12, Ambre achieved a world record when she received the Associate and Licentiate Diplomas of music in the same year. At 16 she received the First Prize in her first International Music Competition held in Argentina, South America. The following year she was invited to return to Argentina to perform the Rachmaninoff Piano Concerto No.3 as her debut performance with the Cordoba Symphony Orchestra. This performance was recorded live and released as a CD, which has been acclaimed by the Rachmaninoff Society of USA as one of the finest recordings ever made of this piece. At 16, Ambre recorded and released a CD of music by Franz Liszt titled ‘Devotion’ which was funded by Australian artist Arthur Boyd who was astounded with Ambre’s natural ability. Ambre has performed both solo and with Orchestra throughout Switzerland, England, Italy, Spain, Poland, North and South America to consistent acclaim from both ...
