If you love jazz from modern piano trios like e.s.t., Neil Cowley Tio or the Vijay Iyver Trio, you may like the Swiss trio Rusconi as well. They combine classical piano trio jazz (listen to “Milk”), almost poppy tunes (“Tempelhof”) and avantgarde-rock-influences (“Alice in the Sky”) to a rather unique sound. Formerly releasing their music on a major label, they’ve now taken their fate into own hands and released “Revolution” (Nomen est omen!) as pay what you want download. You can order the Vinyl or attend to their concerts round Europe where a CD version of “Revolution” will be available.

Joseph Haydn - The seven last words of Christ

Complete recording of “Die sieben letzten Worte unseres Erlösers am Kreuze” or ‘The Seven Last Words of Christ’ (Oratorio version, 1796) by Joseph Haydn (1732-1809), performed by the Granollers Chamber Orchestra and Choir on April 10th 2011, conducted by Sergio Alapont

This is one of the very few complete recordings of the ‘Seven Words’ on youtube.com that respect the rights of the copyright holder. I’ve simply put together the parts into the right order, so that one can listen to it from the beginning to the (dramatic) end.

If you’ve download the previous three “Live Happenings”-EPs, you know, you want this (if not, you should download them, check this article to find the previous links). Excellent world music / art pop / industrial (call it whatever you want) by one of the most fascinating boarder crossing duos.

If you like Italian rock music with a hint of more complex progressive rock influences, then you will be glad to discover Sintesi (Synthesis). The classic four piece line up features Rino Arminio (bass & vocals), Gianni Catalano (drums, percussion), Paolo Garzotto (guitars) and Andrea Rolfini (keyboards). Their latest release »Terra di confine« was produced as a straightforward “live in studio” production and highlights some very fine guitars, bass and vocals.
