Тринадцатый студийный альбом американской певицы Mary J. Blige выпущен 24 ноября 2014 года. По мнению журнала Billboard новый альбом превосходный и объективно лучше предыдущего.

Второй альбом композитора Max Richter. В нем прослеживается нить произведений Franz Kafka "The Blue Octavo Notebooks" и Czesław Miłosz "Hymn of the Pearl" и "Unattainable Earth", озвученные голосом актрисы Tilda Swinton. Журнал "Pitchfork" описал альбом как "лучшие записи последних шести месяцев и самое влиятельное событие в современной неоклассике". Композиции "Shadow Journal" и"Organum" были использованы в фильме "Waltz With Bashir."

Originally conceived as a Royal Ballet-commissioned collaboration between composer Max Richter, choreographer Wayne McGregor and artist Julian Opie, Max Richter’s gorgeous score to ‘infra’ is deservedly given life of its own in this album-length release from FatCat’s instrumental/orchestral imprint 130701 Records. The recording of ‘infra’ took place in one day at London’s AIR Studios – recorded onto 2” tape, engineered by Nick Wollage and overseen by Max - before a return to the mixing studio (Max’s StudioKino and Trixx in Berlin) for Max’s typically intricate and lengthy process of crafting completed pieces from the recordings.

Max Richter is scoring the upcoming indie ensemble drama Disconnect. The film stars Jason Bateman, Andrea Riseborough, Alexander Skarsgard, Paula Patton, Max Thieriot, Colin Ford, Michael Nyqvist, Hope Davis, Frank Grillo, Jonah Bobo and Haley Ramm. The movie marks the narrative feature directing debut of Henry-Alex Rubin who previously helmed the Academy Award-nominated documentary Murderball. Disconnect interweaves three potboiler storylines about people searching for human connection in today’s wired world of the internet. The drama is written by Andrew Stern (Return to Me) and produced by Mickey Liddell & Jennifer Hilton (The Grey, The Collector) for Liddell Entertainment and William Horberg (Milk, The Talented Mr. Ripley) for Wonderful Films. No word yet on when the film will be released.

German-born British composer and pianist, Richter is a musician used to challenges. The most recent of which was to recompose Antonio Vivaldi's hugely popular "Four Seasons", in collaboration with German label Deutsche Grammophon: A very personal retreatment that allows the listener to recognize the original piece but at the same time, enjoy it in a completely new and surprising light, transporting you to an unknown sonic territory. On this occasion Richter will be accompanied by instrumental group bcn216 (resident of L'Auditori de Barcelona) to bring at Teatre CCCB his subtle and individual re-adaptation of Vivaldi’s creation ‘live’. He has reconfigured the body of work by removing a number of notes, reorganizing certain passages and adding seductive electronic arrangements.

Waltz With Bashir is a very unusual animated documentary, directed by Ari Folman, which examines the horrors of the 1982 Lebanon war from the point of view of the director himself, when he was a 19-year old soldier in the Israeli Defence Force. The film has been the recipient of much praise on the independent film and festival circuit, receiving award nominations from the Cannes Film Festival, the European Film Awards, and the Los Angeles Film Critics Association. The score for Waltz With Bashir is by Scots-German composer Max Richter, a former student of Luciano Berio, and whose first major film score this is.

Max Richter выпустил свой четвертый сольный альбом - коллекция миниатюр для рингтонов мобильных телефонов, фортепианные и электронные темы.

Третий сольный альбом уникального композитора современности Max Richter, вдохновленный темами писателя Харуки Мураками.

Дебютный альбом британского композитора с немецкими корнями Макса Рихтера, имеющего образование классического пианиста. Экспериментальный альбом "документальной музыки" записан совместно с филармоническим оркестром BBC, описывает реальные и вымышленные истории. Музыка сочетает в себе окружающие звуки, голоса и поэтические чтения. Необыкновенно чувственно звучит пьеса "Maria the Poet" с голосом Марины Цветаевой. BBC Music называет этот альбом как "шедевр в неоклассической композиции".

Dallas trio Mothership like to kick up a stink. By that we mean a dirty old stew of riffs and mean vocals that literally smell of the highway. No doubt clad in denim and leather, you can smell the sweat and fumes coming back off this album as it takes on its heady journey. Full of classic rock riffs and attitude it is like rolling back the years to the 70’s once again.

It’s one of life’s ironies that an artist as independent and ahead of her time as Betty Davis (Mabry) is today remembered mostly for her brief marriage to Miles Davis, and for having transformed the trumpeter in record time from Italian suited jazzer to psychedelically garbed imbiber of Bitches Brew. (Davis credited Betty with introducing him both to hip threads and the sounds of Hendrix, Sly Stone, and others.) Chump change indeed for a singer, songwriter, model/fashionista, and provocateur who was a Greenwich Village scene maker while still in her teens. She wrote “Uptown (To Harlem)” for the Chambers Brothers, and later went on to release three unheralded records of low-down ‘70s funk whose open sexual attitudes prefigured later, more commercially successful efforts by Rick James, Prince, and Madonna.

Pianist, composer and producer Meeco alias Michael Maier delivers his fourth album with Souvenirs of Love offering a "collection of love songs that tell my life" story as the artist states, through a range of R & B, intimate jazz ballads and a touch of the hip-hop influence provided in a tasteful elegant platform. Not a conservative musician by any stretch, Meeco is used to doing things big, out of the norm and striking a new approach. On this venture, Meeco does it again designing a musical statement with new innovations. Here, he presents the music through the prism of jazz using an all-star list of jazz and soul musicians to document, what is, essentially, a classic R&B vocals recording.
