Free Ride – Hard Livin’ (2024)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/44,1 kHz | Time – 37:52 minutes | 461 MB | Genre: Rock

Tornio-based Free Ride has released its fourth full-length “Hard Livin'”. The band has been forging ahead for nearly a quarter of a century. The band names the Finnish Havana black and Peer Günt as influencers, there is probably not too much material of this kind these days, so the narrow niche is clear.
The Kasari times are behind us and it is not possible to expect new works to create the same moods. Despite this, ”here I Am” leads the crowd with a strong riff and melodies. Growing into a near-power ballad,” Forever you ” has a curious hook. The mood is not really even the 1980s, but more of the decade before this, plus a more root-and-branch take on the 1990s as a little spice. This is what Warrant might have sounded like if, in a grunge crisis, face-washing had been done in style.

Elvis Presley – 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong: Elvis’ Gold Records, Vol. 2 (1959/2024)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/96 kHz | Time – 23:09 minutes | 252 MB | Genre: Rock

There has long been some confusion over the actual title of this album. The title is shown on the original record’s labels as “Elvis’ Gold Records, Vol. 2,” with a comma and an abbreviation of “Volume”, but on the jacket, it appears as “Elvis’ Gold Records – Volume 2”. The phrase “50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong” does not appear on the labels on any of the original records, and it is the title of the records on the labels—not the jacket—that is usually given preference when conflicting titles appear on albums. Therefore, the phrase was not part of the original title of the album. Beginning no later than 1962, RCA Victor added “50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can’t Be Wrong” to the labels of a few mono records and to the then newly released “electronically reprocessed stereo” records. The boasting on the label appears nearly exclusive to records manufactured at RCA Victor’s Hollywood pressing plant; copies pressed at the other plants tended to use the proper title only. The ‘50,000,000’ phrase remained there for several years, but by 1968, it was removed from the new orange RCA Victor labels and was not found on any record labels for years afterward. The phrase was added again to the first compact disc releases of this album in 1984, where it has remained.

Denis Pascal, Aurélien Pascal and Alexandre Pascal – Schubert: Trios Op. 99 & Op. 100 (2021)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © La Musica
As with many episodes in Franz Schubert’s life, uncertainty surrounds the origins of his two trios for piano, violin and cello. We know that they were played to a Viennese audience, one on 26 December 1827 and the other on 26 March 1828, but not in which order. Although it is more likely that the Trio no. 1 in B flat major op. 99 was performed before the Trio no. 2 in E flat major op. 100, musicologists remain divided on the subject. Documentary sources provide a certain amount of information about the Trio op. 100: the manuscript tells us it was composed in November 1827, while Schubert’s correspondence shows a composer desperate to have his work published, even to the extent of removing a number of development sections and a repeat from the final movement because some publishers found the work too long. The manuscript of the first trio has been lost. By comparing indirect evidence, however, including the different types of manuscript paper Schubert used, we may conjecture that the Trio op. 99 was also composed in the autumn of 1827.

Trumpeter-bandleader Charlie Sepulveda brings a lifetime of Latin and jazz musicianship from his home in Luquillo, Puerto Rico, a place with hundreds of years of musical tradition preceding him. At the very dawn of jazz when James Reese Europe couldn’t find musicians in the U.S. who could read music for his orchestra, Europe went to Puerto Rico to hire from the many municipal bands. The best of the trumpeters of his generation, Sepulveda also taught music on the island for many years and believes fervently in encouraging young jazz musicians.

We know little about Pierre de Manchicourt’s biography and recordings of his music are rare. “beauty farm” takes up the cudgels for this Franco-Flemish master of the Renaissance, who is probably only known to insiders. The album “Manchicourt – Masses” sheds a representative light on the sacred music of the composer, who worked as Kapellmeister to Philip II in Madrid in the last years of his life. Four masses – including the first recording of the “Missa de Domina” – show that Manchicourt was one of the grand masters of vocal polyphony.
