by C. Michael Bailey
The husband and wife team of violinist Thomas Zehetmair and violist Ruth Killius is best known for its work in the Zehetmair Quartet and, more specifically, for that group's award- winning recording of Schumann's First and Third String Quartets (ECM, 2001).

40th Anniversary of Marvin Gaye's Landmark "What's Going On" Celebrated with Super Deluxe Edition & Events
On May 21, 1971, Motown Records released an album unique to its vast, already classic catalog: a suite of protest songs, railing, albeit softly and with an undeniable groove, about the planet's woes and the pain of war. With What's Going On, Marvin Gaye forever changed the sound and subject matter of popular music, influencing and ...
Traffic: Traffic: John Barleycorn Must Die Deluxe Edition
by Doug Collette
Traffic reinvented themselves repeatedly over the course of close to three decades together, but perhaps never more dramatically than with John Barleycorn Must Die. The deluxe version of the title suggests the work represents an even more significant turning point for the British band than the only other comparable work in their discography, The Low Spark ...
Alexander Lonquich: Robert Schumann / Heinz Hollinger
by C. Michael Bailey
Pianist Alexander Lonquich's previous ECM recordings, Plainte Calme (2002) and Gideon Lewensohn: Odradek (2001), split attention between the near-new and the new, addressing Les Six's impressionism on the former, versus 21st Century Israeli realism on the latter. On Robert Schumann / Heinz Hollinger, Lonquich splits the difference between Schumann's eight-movement Kreisleriana (Op. 16, 1838), and Swiss ...

Nordic Symphony Orchestra, Anu Tali: Erkki-Sven Tüür: Strata
by C. Michael Bailey
So much late-20th and early-21st Century classical music has a movie soundtrack quality about it. Replete with dramatic crescendos and sinister diminuendos, these extended compositions sound as if they are trying to tell a story in a language not spoken. While that paradox is obvious, the effect is not exclusive. The music may be enjoyed on ...
Dino Saluzzi / Gidon Kremer / Andrei Puchkarev: Giya Kancheli: Themes from the Songbook
by C. Michael Bailey
There is a potent element in the sophisticated pioneer spirit of ECM Records and its founder, Manfred Eicher, that is perfectly illustrated by this recording. Giya Kancheli (born 1935) is a Georgian composer who has produced, among other compositions, film and stage scores over the past 40 years. Kancheli transformed the elements of these scores into ...
