As a left handed youngster Brazilian Igor Prado taught himself the guitar. In 2007 (after recording three albums under the name The Prado Blues Band) Igor released his first album as The Igor Prado Band and called it “Upside Down”. He had developed a reputation as a guitarist by backing up American harpists and vocalists when they toured Brazil. Igor would first take them to Restaurante Don Mariano in Sao Paulo and feed them food and Cachaca, the alcoholic beverage of Brazil, before visiting the recording studio. This newest album recorded in Brazil features Igor in the studio with various Delta Groove artists. The sessions were recorded between 2011 and 2014. The Igor Prado Band includes Igor, guitar; his brother Yuri, drums; Rodrigo Mantovani, bass; Ari Borger, piano and Denilson Martins, saxophones. Special guests help provide many nice surprises throughout the recording.

German-Tanzanian jazz singer Lyambiko burst onto Berlin's music scene in 1999 after a music-oriented upbringing. The multi-talented performer brought together her skills of singing and playing piano to stages all over Berlin, slowly gathering attention as an urgent new talent. By 2001, she was fronting a jazz quartet that began touring throughout Germany, then Europe and abroad. Lyambiko has been heralded as one of the strongest voices to emerge on the jazz scene in a long time. She has since released seven albums with her quartet, reaching the top of the jazz charts in international circuits.

Итальянец, чей голос способен смешать мелодраму с песенкой из Сан-Ремо, нравится всем. В Германии, стране, которая открыла его в 1996-ом году, он постоянно присутствует в хит-парадах. В США он предмет культа: в нем есть нечто человеческое или слишком человеческое, что примиряет домохозяйку с системой “звезд”, от Стивена Спилберга и Кевина Костнера до жены вице-президента. Президент Билл Клинтон, “Билл-саксофон”, который знает наизусть музыку к фильму “Канзас-сити”, декларирует себя в числе поклонников Бочелли

As Oliver Nelson is known primarily as a big band leader and arranger, he is lesser known as a saxophonist and organizer of small ensembles. Blues and the Abstract Truth is his triumph as a musician for the aspects of not only defining the sound of an era with his all-time classic "Stolen Moments," but on this recording, assembling one of the most potent modern jazz sextets ever.

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.

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.
