"It's only by letting go and having a tremendous amount of throughput, I think, that you can really find the meaning in the moments."
Welcome to the weekend. These are my selections of the best recordings just released. Here is New In Music This Week: May 12th.
Our top pick is:
CLASSICAL: Maria Dueñas: Beethoven and Beyond (Deutsche Grammophon)
Before telling you how wonderful this album...
"The job of a composer is a lot more complicated than only writing music."
Mahler, Shucked, Lovano and More
Anna Thorvaldsdottir, The Crossing, Rickie Lee Jones and Taj Mahal tops this week's list.
"What I like in music is where something magical happens and where there is soul and a life behind that's never going to be predictable."
"We are all people that are imprisoned in this novel of fiction that we write in our heads every day of our lives."
Two operas, two plays, one jazz concert - all former best bets you have another chance to see
"New releases in the areas of broadway musicals, cabaret, classical music, jazz and opera."
"I'm so influenced by the pain that I have felt in life. The moments where I had no other choice but to live creatively."
