Road Back Home (Celtic)
There are many ways to define the word home... the structure in which we live, but also the cultural expressions of community which somehow reach into our hearts and souls without us completely understanding why. If it is true, home is where the heart is, well my heart has returned to a place I knew I always loved. The Road Back Home

Saint-Saëns (Classical)
Lang Lang presents with this album a treasure trove of musical discoveries. Saint-Saëns's Piano Concerto No. 2 was recorded with a stellar cast, the Gewandhausorchester and Andris Nelsons and is for Lang Lang a true romantic masterpiece that rivals the greats like Rachmaninoff or Tchaikovsky.

Born (County)
The album offers much of what's made the eight time Country Music Association and Academy of Country Music Entertainer of the Year the only country artist on Billboard's Top Ten Touring Acts of the Last 25 Years for the last fifteen years. As "Take Her Home," climbs the country radio charts, there's plenty more where the song of three moments that define taking a risk and finding a life came from.

Critterland (Folk)
For folksinger Willi Carlisle, singing is healing. And by singing together, he believes we can begin to reckon with the inevitability of human suffering and grow in love. On his latest, Carlisle invites audiences to join him. Rooted in the eclectic world of his live shows, Carlisle's third album was produced by Grammy Award-nominated Darrell Scott. This is a wild romp through the backwaters of his mind and America, lingering in the odd corners of human nature to visit obscure oddballs, dark secrets and complicated truths about the beauty and pain of life and love.

Wagner: Famous Opera Scenes (Opera)
Wagner's genius is often associated with his unique feeling for orchestration. Yet the transcriptions and paraphrases for piano solo recorded here lay bare the beauty and boldness of his harmonic language, with an evocative power unrivalled at the time. Nikolai Lugansky, at once narrator and virtuoso, immerses us in a world where the heroes of legend tell us - and with what loftiness of spirit! - of the torments and aspirations of humanity.
