Glenn Gould: A State of Wonder -- BESTSELLER!!
"Few musicians stake such a claim to a great piece of music
as Glenn Gould does to Bach's Goldberg Variations.
It isn't hyperbole to call the piece the alpha and omega
of his career."

the 20th anniversary of his death, together with Legacy
Recordings, Sony Classical has released a 3-CD set of

CROSSOVER NEWS
PRE-ORDER Aselin Debison's Sweet is the Melody for $9.99
Already becoming a household name in Canada, twelve-year-old
singing sensation Aselin Debison first made headlines at the age
of eight in her native Nova Scotia at an impromptu recital at a
mining rally. The performance brought tears to the crowd's eyes
and a new voice of a generation to a national television audience.
Her debut album Sweet is the Melody was crafted under the
expert guidance of producers Peter Asher (Cher, Bonnie Raitt,
Dixie Chicks, 10,000 Maniacs) and George Massenberg (Garth
Brooks, Aaron Neville, Carly Simon) and features the stirring
anthems, "Rise Again" and "To Say Goodbye To You," plus
radio-friendly tracks "Moonlight Shadow" and Travis' "Driftwood."
The CD also features a video of "Driftwood" shot live in Cape
Breton, Nova Scotia during the taping of AselinŐs upcoming
PBS TV special.

Morelenbaum2/Sakamoto World Tour Reviews
"... he [Jobim] couldn't have wished for a better
interpretation...the evening's star -- aside, that is,
from the music itself -- was Paula Morelenbaum.
In sequins and chiffon, halo of curls softly backlit,
her achingly beautiful, pitch-perfect voice conjured
images of sunsets and cocktails by the sea and
probably -- not that anyone tore themselves outside
to check -- had birds looping in lazy circles above."
-- Jane Cornwell, Evening Standard, September 2002
"...the trio took the audience on a sophisticated and
subtle tour of Jobim's music. This was bossa-nova
for the mind as much as the body...If there was little
by way of dynamics to the arrangements, nevertheless
these accomplished, fine musicians managed throughout
to keep the audience spellbound."
-- BBCi.com
