Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers had weathered some tough times prior to the release of their 1979 breakthrough album, Damn The Torpedoes, and the tour that promoted it, broadcast on the King Biscuit Flower Hour. Damn The Torpedoes would refine the bands sound and become a statement of intent for the future. Their performance in Houston, TX in 1979 boasts a sizable chunk of the then new album with cuts from their two previous LPs, in an explosive set that has since become a valuable testament to the early, and often brilliant, live career of that most American institution; Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers. Timeline proudly presents a prized performance by Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers performing live at the Houston Music Hall, Texas on 6th December 1979.

Herbert von Karajan was the most renowned conductor to emerge from Europe in the post-World War II era – and through fortuitous timing throughout his career, and in spite of controversy that dogged his early years, he was the most recorded conductor of the 20th century, and is likely to remain one of the most visible (and biggest-selling) conductors well into the 21st century. Born in Salzburg and descended from a family of Greek origin with deep roots in Austria – including scholars and physicians in Vienna and Salzburg – he was a music prodigy, playing the piano at three and playing his first recital a year later.

Star pianist Pierre-Laurent Aimard presents Landler, a collection of delightful dances composed by Franz Schubert. Rustic and cheerful, these miniatures display a fascinating side of Schubert's musical persona. Their simplicity is deceptive, as these dances are frequently shaken up by Schubert's harmonic wandering soul, yet remaining lyrical, picturesque and tuneful. For Aimard, there is a kinship between Schubert's Landler and Kurtag's Jatekok, pieces that he often performs side by side, sharing a combination of playfulness and Modernism that also calls the great twentieth-century miniaturist Anton Webern to mind. By avoiding almost any repetition, Aimard evokes a sleepwalker's journey rather than a series of dances. A renowned champion of twentieth-century music, Pierre-Laurent Aimard has released multiple acclaimed albums in his exclusive contract with Pentatone, including Messiaen's Catalogue d'Oiseaux (2018) and Visions de l'Amen (2022), along with Beethoven's Hammerklavier Sonata & Eroica Variations (2021). He also joined Tamara Stefanovich in Etudes and Frames (2023), with music by Vassos Nicolaou, and recorded Bartok's Piano Concertos with the San Francisco Symphony and Esa-Pekka Salonen (2023).

An album combining works by Schubert, Piazolla and Lintinen, cellist Trey Lee is joined by the English Chamber Orchestra to perform compositions embracing the effects and impacts of climate change on both the environment and society. The album has two world premiere recordings of new arrangements for both cello and piano, and cello and orchestra by Trey Lee. “With the cello as a platform, I seek a sober yet trenchant means to tell the story of our seasons, and concurrently, create a musical narrative to account for how this crisis unfolds. This album is a journey across our world from the past to the present, and finally, to an increasingly plausible future through the prism of works by three composers from three eras.”

Dès leur création en 1723, Les Fêtes grecques et romaines, premier opéra de Colin de Blamont connut un succès retentissant. Synthèse entre la noblesse de la tragédie lyrique créée par Lully et le ton plus badin, avec ses divertissements chorégraphiques, de l’opéra-ballet créé par Campra, son livret redonne vie aux fêtes les plus connues de l’Histoire antique. L’éloquent Alcibiade se distingue lors des Jeux olympiques, Marc Antoine et Cléopâtre célèbrent les enivrantes Bacchanales & le poète Tibulle courtise avec fougue sa chère Délie à l’occasion des Saturnales… Valentin Tournet nous fait redécouvrir cette œuvre phare du Siècle des Lumières laissée bien trop longtemps dans l’ombre de ses fameux contemporains.

2021 sees the 500th anniversary of the death of Josquin Des Pres, the most celebrated composer of his day. Dominique Visse and the Ensemble Clément Janequin are recording a selection of his chansons from one of the most important editions of his works, Tylman Susato’s Septiesme livre de Chansons published in 1545. This edition bear witness to the diversity of Josquin’s chanson writing, but above all to the melancholy and sorrow so present in his works, and is clearly a tribute, as is also evident in the two Déplorations on his death, Musæ Jovis by Nicolas Gombert and O mors inevitabilis by Hieronymus Vinders. This recording endeavours to present a Josquin legacy, a post mortem illustration of his chanson œuvre, in remembrance of his musical genius.
