\"Jukka<\/a>

Jukka Tienssu. nemo - Puro - Spiriti. CD 37559<\/p><\/div><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

We recently acquired a group of Finnish titles on the Alba label including two recordings with music by composer Jukka Tiensuu (CD 37559<\/a> and CD 37560<\/a>). Complementing our collection of his scores<\/a>, these recordings include a piano concerto entitled Mind, selections from Alma for orchestra and electronics, and a piece for accordion and orchestra called Spiriti. And on the subject of accordions, the instrument figures prominently in the musical activity of Finland from its love of Tango to its International Accordion Festival<\/a> held each year in Ikaalinen.<\/p>\n

Originally from Brazilian label Biscoito Fino, this rich three-part DVD program (DVD 1704, 1705 & 1706<\/a>) chronicles Jobim\u2019s life and music through a mix of documentary material, interviews and live performances. Taken primarily from a 1990 show, performances feature Jobim on vocals and piano, with a band that includes cellist Jaques Morelenbaum and the occasional special guest: see Chico Buarque in Part 3\/She\u2019s a Carioca\/Ela \u00e8 Carioca<\/a> doing \u201cEla Desatinou\u201d.

We\u2019ve just received several CDs on the Caprice label featuring unpublished house and live recordings from the Royal Swedish Opera<\/a>.

Another issue offers Mozart opera arias and excerpts (CD 37659<\/a>) recorded between 1952 and 1967 with performances by Nilsson, Elisabeth S\u00f6derstr\u00f6m and others. More titles in this series — Strauss, Berlioz and Verdi (including Bj\u00f6rling in Trovatore from 1957) — are on the way.<\/p>\n
