Release Date October 19, 1993
If you have listened a hundred times to Rodrigo's Concierto de Aranjuez and never get tired of it, just try Bacarisse's Concertino. At least one of its movements, Romanza, deserves the same popularity and Narciso Yepes plays it with his usual mastership.

Concierto de Aranjuez

by: Narciso Yepes Odon Alonso Spanish R.T.V. Symphony Orchestra

Release Date October 16, 2000
Yepes has done two much better versions of the Rodrigo pieces than the Alonso version given. Though the famous Adagio of Concierto de Aranjuez is wonderful in this his second recording, he is let down by the boring conducting of Alonso in the outer movements. The later recordings he made with Navarro of both the Fantasia and Concierto are easily obtained and better overall. Yepes' 1969 recording on Decca with Argenta is one of the greatest ever put on disc but seems to be unobtainable at the moment. All the other Spanish works are highly recommendable as Yepes had a wonderful affinity with his native music.

The Soul of O.V. Wright

by: O.V. Wright

Release Date February 16, 1998
O V Wright would not normally be one of the first names mentioned in any debate on the greatest of all soul singers but he is surely up there with them all. Originally signed to the legendary Memphis label Goldwax, Wright was found to have a prior contract with Duke Robey's Peacock and was 'persuaded' by Robey to cut his ties with Goldwax. This did him no harm however as he proceded to record some of soul music's finest sides. Backed by a classic organ dominated rhythm the gospel trained Wright laid down some of the most impassioned vocals in the entire soul canon. Cuts such as A Nickel And A Nail and Id Rather Be Blind Crippled And Crazy testify to this most gifted of singers. By all accounts O V was a difficult and troubled man and died prematurely ...
