The Tower of Babel of performances and recordings of Sergei Rachmaninoff's music pleases the ear and the sight of the music lover today as it has been throughout the 20th century. In that Tower one can easily distinguish the voices of Rachmaninoff's music's "native speakers" - performers who spoke Rachmaninoff's mother's tongue, breathed the same air and enjoyed the same autumnal landscapes in childhood. In fact, it is the Tower of its own: looking through the list of Rachmaninoff's works and the names of Russian and Soviet performers in the Rachmaninoff Collection offered by legendary label Melodiya on the composer's 145th anniversary, one can assume just that. To a great surprise of the scholars and amateurs, such a collection has never been assembled previously. The "Russian idiom" (if we are to continue with the metaphor) has never been presented in such a massive and powerful way, reaching the "critical mass" that may lead to important conclusions about the Russian musical style and interpretation in general. The list contains the names of great singers from the generation of Soviet classics such as Irina Arkhipova, Ivan Kozlovsky, Georgy Nelepp, Elena Obraztsova, Mark Reisen, to the most current internationally renowned stars such as Hibla Gerzmava. One can find a smorgasbord of chamber music performed by the exceptional ensembles and individuals such as David Oistrakh, Leonid Kogan, Mstislav Rostropovich, Gidon Kremer and Daniil Shafran. An unusual component in the collection is the recordings of Rachmaninoff's Russian Orthodox church music - something that was carefully shoved under the rug in the Soviet times. The operas are represented by the best that the country could give - and here, for sure, the native Russian diction raises the level of performance to the classical height. And, of course, that poetics of the piano, in which Sergei Rachmaninoff expressed himself in the most unencumbered way, is represented in the Collection by the names that do not need promotion: Sviatoslav Richter, Emil Gilels, Grigory Sokolov, Vladimir Krainev, Alexei Nasedkin, Pavel Serebryakov - the list goes on until it reaches the latest acquisition on the Montparnasse of piano, Dmitry Masleev. For the connoisseurs, the Collection offers rare examples, many of them previously unreleased by Melodiya, together with those delicious brand-name tube-mic recordings that carry an unrivaled human quality and a tint of nostalgia. The edition comprises 33 CDs and 1 LP with previously unreleased recordings (Piano Concerto No. 2 performed by Vladimir Krainev and the Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Yuri Temirkanov; and Vocalise orchestrated by the composer and performed by the Moscow Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Dmitri Kitaenko). The edition includes a booklet in four languages (Russian, English, French and German).

With the story behind Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska set to be explored by the feature film Deliver Me From Nowhere, Nebraska '82: Expanded Edition (four LPs + one Blu-Ray) gathers revelatory unheard material from this prolific period including the fabled Electric Nebraska sessions with the E Street Band and solo home and studio recordings, joined by a 2025 remaster of the original album, plus a new performance film of all ten Nebraska songs played in sequence.<br/><br/>Springsteen's 1982 acoustic masterwork is augmented by 17 contemporary recordings (15 previously unreleased) that were part of the groundswell of inspiration that shaped Nebraska and share its haunting themes.

Slipknot: Slipknot (25th anniversary) [Gatefold / 2 Vinyl LP]

Helloween är power metals stora fanbärare och har sedan 80-talet levererat fantastisk, melodisk metal. Under senare år har de turnerat med ett antal sångare, både deras nuvarande vokalist Andi Deris och tidigare sångare som Kai Hansen och Michael Kiske.<br/><br/>Med över 10 miljoner sålda skivor och ett flertal guld- och platinautmärkelser, firar de tyska legendarerna Helloween sitt 40-årsjubileum! Detta är bandets andra fullängdsalbum med deras<br/>unika tresångarkonstellation. Som vanligt bjuder Helloween på sin patenterade mix av snabba riff, storslagna melodier och den karakteristiska högoktaniga sången. Med fem starka låtskrivare, tre sångare och sju musiker i världsklass är förväntningar på detta album högt ställda, och de gör ingen besviken; albumet får 9 av 10 i SRM.

Med debutalbumet "bob hund" (1994) definierade bandet sin plats i svensk musikhistoria. Låtar som "Allseende ögat" och "Mer än så kan ingen bli" blev generationstillhörighet i ljudform. Det är intensivt, ärligt och fruktansvärt bra. Nu på limiterad 180-framsvinyl, i Martin Kanns tidlösa omslag. Ett måste - för både nostalgiker och nyfrälsta.
