Soundcheck CD Picks of the Week
Tuesday, October 09, 2007
Each week, the Soundcheck staff digs through their inboxes for the best, catchiest, or strangest music they can find.
Marcel Khalifé: Taqasim (Nagam Records/Connecting Cultures Records)
Marcel Khalifé is a Lebanese composer and master of the Arabic lute oud who lives in exile in Paris. This instrumental record explores the lower registers of the oud and double bass, making music that sounds like poetry. --Gisele Regatao
Taqasim is available for purchase at amazon.com
Corigliano: The Red Violin Concerto; Sonata for Violin and Piano Joshua Bell, violin; Jeremy Denk, piano; Marin Alsop conducting the Baltimore Symphony Orchestra (Sony Classical)
John Corigliano's film score for “The Red Violin” is heard here in a concerto version that showcases the lush violin playing of soloist Joshua Bell. --Brian Wise
The Red Violin Concerto is available for purchase at amazon.com
Saralunden & Andrey Kiritchenko: There Was No End
Swedish singer/synthesizer player meets Ukrainian producer on an album of unhurried, moody, occasionally eerie songs. Definitely late-night listening. --John Schaefer
There Was No End More details on the label's Web site
José González: In Our Nature
An Argentinian Swede is an unlikely way to introduce yourself, but José González is one of the more thoughtful singer-songwriters on the scene, as his latest album attests. --Allison Lichter
In our nature is available for purchase at amazon.com
