Sparkle Plenty
"A back road ride straight to Heartbreak Hotel, ,SPARKLE PLENTY ,has more perspectives on the heart than an episode of 'House.' The opening riff of 'No Reason At All' has an indie feel but makes a hard right into contemporary country.  ,The chords and melodies take twists and turns in all of her songs, but it's the instrumentation that stands out.  ,Very well produced, Linton covers a lot of ground stylistically, flying effortlessly from folk to blues and even classical. Linton sounds confident in what she wants to say, if not heart-weary, but never leaves you in the dumps. This is a mature record, touching on motherhood, long looks back down the path of experience and, yes, lost loves and opportunities.  ,But often out of sorrow rises hope, and it has a name: beauty. , Does it sparkle?  ,Plenty." - Jeff Reid, The Beat Magazine Everyone has heard a song that reaches a certain place inside and helps them make sense of the world. Brenda Linton writes that kind of song. "There are a lot of secrets that people hold, both good and bad," explains Linton. "If you dare to reveal your own secrets, then the listener finds it easier to identify with your song and with you as an artist." As the daughter of rural Southern parents reared in poverty, Brenda Linton became aware at a young age of her mother's dreams for her - that she would have red hair and would sing and dance like Shirley Temple. Today, although the petite redhead has some great moves on the dance floor, she is best known for a voice so pure and melodic that fans have dubbed her the "Carolina Nightingale." Born in Washington, North Carolina, Linton says she was nurtured as a child by "a passel of kind-hearted women, including my mother, grandmother, maternal aunts, and housekeepers who treated me as their own." Her mother overcame childhood polio to train as a registered nurse and began working at the county hospital when Linton was still an infant. Raised in a Baptist orphanage, her father was a major source of strength and understanding in later life. But in her early years, his work as a master plasterer frequently took him away from home, even to the island of Bermuda. "Part of my dad's compensation was a month in paradise for my mom and me," says Linton of the experience, "and I guess my love of the road began there." Although Linton remembers hearing lots of music during her early childhood, her formal education began at the age of eight when her parents bought her a Wurlitzer spinet and a set of classical piano books. She demonstrated a quick aptitude for music and, encouraged by her teachers, took top honors in juried piano competitions at the nearby university, and won singing parts in school musicals. By adolescence, Linton had developed a list of favorite singers (Perry Como, Paul McCartney, Joan Baez, and Joni Mitchell) whose influence would later emerge in her unique vocal style. In high school, she taught herself to play guitar and formed a duo with a girlfriend that expanded into a folk trio called the New Horizon Singers. By her mid-teens, Linton was performing regularly in college coffee houses. After graduation, she joined an established folk-rock group called Warm. Linton's voice as well as the innovative harmonies and original songs provided by the other three members set the band apart from most local acts in eastern North Carolina. During her two years with Warm, she performed throughout the southeast at music clubs, rock festivals, and college venues, and opened concerts for recording artists such as the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band and Rare Earth. When Warm broke up, Linton decided to pursue her childhood dream of living in Europe. She traveled in Switzerland, Italy, and France before settling in London. She established a musical relationship with another songwriter and recorded demos that were nibbled at by a British record label but the deal eventually fell through. Meanwhile, she supported herself by working in pubs, Carnaby Street clothes shops, and betting establishments. While in London, Linton also tried some new directions which were short-lived, including singing with a heavy metal band. Homesick and lonely, she turned to songwriting. "During that period, I wrote songs to try to understand myself better," Linton recalls, "and I wrote songs about stories I heard from the people I met." One such story from an Irish friend about a supernatural encounter would later become the title song for her 2005 debut album, THE SECRET. Recorded and co-produced by John Plymale at Overdub Lane in Durham, NC, THE SECRET contains six original tracks that demonstrate Linton's skill at penning lyrics and music that stir both the heart and mind. 'Bargain Love' and 'The Good Life' provide opposite views of the same phenomenon - how living a borrowed life only alienates us from ourselves and others. The jazzy 'Quiet Love' testifies to the wisdom of finding our own answers rather than relying on popular culture. "Warriors" and "Still in This World" are perhaps the most personal songs on the album and movingly express the depth of Linton's sorrow at losing her mother to breast cancer in 2004 as well as the belief that there is still much to recommend the world - a belief made more poignant by her own triumph over the same disease. The tune for "Warriors" was written by Thomas Walsh, a gifted composer and multi-instrumentalist living outside Dublin. "I happened upon his lovely melody, 'Innisheer,' and knew it would be the perfect complement for my lyrics," says Linton. "When I called him to get permission to use the tune, he was at home with the flu, but he was very gracious and we found we had a lot in common. Music often allows perfect strangers to quickly get down to the important stuff." Since the singer-songwriter returned to the United States, she has performed and recorded with a variety of musicians and producers in several locales, including Nashville. For over a decade, she was a member of the Angelettes, a three-woman vocal group whose harmonies brought much delight to listeners as well as the singers themselves. One of her biggest thrills has been finding opportunities to collaborate with her brother and younger son, talented musicians in their own right. In 2009, Linton began a collaboration with musicians in North Carolina's Triangle area to record a new album of mostly original songs called SPARKLE PLENTY. In the interim between her first and second albums, Linton has honed her narrative songwriting skills, and she takes the listener on a journey of diverse moods and locales ranging from an 18th century rice plantation to a late-night bar where regret hangs in the air like smoke. Co-produced by Rick Lassiter, SPARKLE PLENTY also showcases a traditional ballad from Newfoundland and a poignant song by Laura Silvestri about a young woman's search for the grandmother she never met. The album's first track, 'No Reason at All,' is the account of two people who learn the depths of their capacity to love through the trial and error of long-term relationship. This universal story has been turned into a music video by independent film maker, Michael Babbitt, and can be viewed via YouTube and Linton's website. Linton is grateful for the friends, fans, and talented fellow musicians who continue to support her, and feels lucky to have been given the resources to write, record, and perform music that she believes in. "My records are really about people I know or have read about in newspapers or historical accounts," she says. "All of us have experiences that are very private and only surface indirectly. And it's that mysterious territory that I love to explore.- Shop: odax

Arethusa Consortium
Elena Buttiero, celtic harp, spinet Ferdinando Molteni, mandocello, guitar Stefano Tomasini, celtic harp This album was born from the desire to have a permanent record of two shows that Arethusa Consortium is producing. The first show is a recital entitled O'Carolan Stories and is devoted entirely to Turlough O'Carolan, the most important Irish composer. The second part is a journey in European music-beginning with music of Davide Rizzio from the sixteenth century and progressing to music of contemporary composers such as Andrès and Tiersen. For this album we chose a selection of music that, despite coming from different projects, have their own tonal, melodic, or rhythmic consistency. It is, ultimately, an exploration of European instrumental music linking, in equal measure, scholarly and popular traditions. The earliest composer in this recording is David Rizzio. Born in Pancalieri, near Turin (Italy), around 1533, he lived the last years of his life at the court of Mary, Queen of Scots, In Edinburgh. He was killed by conspirators, motivated by jealousy, in 1566. He composed some of the most beautiful melodies of Scotland. We have chosen two, and have combined the versions from Orpheus Caledonius, published in 1725 by William Thomson and from A Collection of Scots Tunes by William McGibbon (1746). From Turlough O'Carolan (1670-1738), the most popular Irish composer, we have selected some melodies from Edward Bunting's General Collection of Ancient Irish Music, published in Dublin in 1796. Contemporary instrumental music is represented by two French composers whom we love. The are Bernard Andrès (1940), author of brilliant compositions for harp, and Yann Tiersen (1970), eclectic writer of music often performed using toy instruments. They are joined by Ferdinando Molteni (1962) with a composition written for a traditional Italian instrument, the mandocello. Elena Buttiero plays a Aziliz Camac harp and a Claudio Tuzzi spinet, 2005. Ferdinando Molteni plays a German mandocello (early XX century), a Sicilian contralto mandola (late XIX century), a Larrivée L03 guitar, a Spanish classical guitar and toy percussion instruments. Stefano Tomasini plays a Melusine Camac harp. Info: allegroconmoto. Savona@virgilio. It.- Shop: odax

Astronio, C: Obras De Musica-Complete Edition
Blind from childhood, Antonio de Cabezon (b.1510) was was appointed organist in the chapel of Queen Isabella at the age of 16, and in 1538, became músico de la cámara to her husband Charles V. After Isabella's death he was appointed the musical tutor of Prince Philip and his sisters. Cabezon accompanied Philip on trips to Milan, Naples, Germany and the Netherlands between 1548 and 1551. These tours would doubtless have given him exposure to a wide range of music performed by leading musicians of the period. His music reveals both cosmopolitanism and traits that have been identified as belonging distinctly to Spanish musical style or to a personal style.This complete recorded survey of his Obras de música para tecla arpa y vihuela represents one of the most remarkable, and celebrated collections of instrumental music of the sixteenth-century. The collection divides by genre into instrumental elaborations of liturgical texts, intabulations and transcriptions of popular motets by composers such as Mouton and Josquin, and the famous and original tientos, prized for their combination of the composer's intensity of expression with a good deal of variety and ingenuity.The performances on a variety of instruments and ensembles are masterminded by the Italian keyboard player and musicologist Claudio Astronio, whose musical enthusiasms range from early music to jazz and pop.Other information:- A new and original INTEGRALE of Brilliant Classics, the only available complete recording, recorded in 1995--2010.- Excellent liner notes written by Spanish musicologist Andrew Woolley- Cabezon was a master of the keyboard (organ and spinet), and most of his works are instrumental, either solo keyboard or for ensembles of stringed instruments.- A unique survey of an important era in the musical history, played by expert musicians, using period instruments: Claudio Astronio and his Harmonices Mundi.- Shop: odax
