Fans of Mariza have been waiting for a live concert CD, and this one comes from what seemingly was a wonderful night in Belem. 'Barco Negro' and 'Quando me sinto so' appear on the DVD but are omitted from the CD. However, with 16 tracks who's complaining. The recording is excellent with great presence in the voice. She sings her way through various songs of hers and traditional ones too, highlighting her amazing voice and talent.

Advantages: Great sound quality, beautiful songs Disadvantages: A couple of slightly weaker songs
I enjoy French music a great deal and I have been a fan of Raphael Haroche for several years, since I made an impulse purchase of his third studio album: 'Caravane'. His voice is stunning, his lyrics original and poetic.
Last month, on holiday in Paris I stumbled upon 'Résistance ŕ La Nuit: Live 2006'.
The album was recorded over three concerts at Le Zénith de Paris in June 2006.
I'm not normally a fan of live albums, but I had the opportunity ... ...shop and decided that the quality seemed good enough for me to take a chance on it. Boy, am I glad I did!
The easiest way to review this is to take it track-by-track.
'Funamble'
This was the closing track on Raphael's last studio album, 'Caravane'. It begins with some cheering from the audience, presumably as Raphael entered the stage. However, the audience quiets down very quickly and they're hardly heard throughout the rest of the CD.
The track ...

In recent years, the little-known Warsaw Village Band have risen from obscurity to earn some much deserved recognition, playing several high-profile festivals including Glastonbury 09, and even clinching the Best Newcomer award at the BBC Radio 3 World Music Awards in 2004. 'Uprooting' is a fine example of the band's capability, and also of their potential to grow and continue.
Comprising six young musicians from Poland's capital, the band blend ... ...passionate and hypnotising set of tracks which should be essential listening for any music fan.
I had the honour of first hearing the band when they performed at Musicport Festival 2008, a very surreal experience indeed as they were supporting Rolf Harris! Their set consisted of many of the tracks from 'Uprooting'.
The performance put on by the band was both aurally and visually stunning, in part due to their incorporation in their music of many ...
Advantages: incredibly underrated music very well produced and presented Disadvantages: none
...Devotion’ James Young's Joanna was made on the battered upright piano in his house - an instrument most pianists would reject without a moment's hesitation. Bad pianos - in pubs, bars, clubs, cafes and the parental home - are the bane of musicians and music teachers: the sustain pedal doesn't work; the felts are worn; mezzopiano is indistinguishable from fortissimo. And that's before you get on to the problem of keeping it in tune. Players develop ... ...wisdom on its head. Joanna is a hymn of devotion that both dignifies and delights in his old piano's imperfections. As Billy Jenkins wrote in Notes on Crap Pianos: "Years of warp and deterioration have ripened each mechanical artefact into its own unique sound. Do not attempt music scored for a good piano." Young describes his piano as "a ready-made that needed to be celebrated for its intrinsic peculiarities". There are antecedents: Virginia Astley's ...

"Remembering The Day" is such an evocative, beautiful, touching and sensual album, composed / performed by the multiple award winning violinist / composer Catya Maré. I´d like to recommend it to everybody who likes world / ambient / new age music! It is highly original. A mixture of ambient / electronica / classical / new age and world elements. And, in my opinion, it really touches your soul, leaves you refreshed after listening. Catya´s violin ... ...special. In some of her songs she combines her mesmerizing violin sound with a choir, that adds an ethereal quality to the song. I love it! If you like Deep Forest, Enigma, Delirium or classical crossover artists like Sarah Brightman and Andrea Bocelli you might love this one. Worth the money...
