The Eight Etudes op. 42 by Alexander Scriabin were composed during a phase of great productivity. For many years, teaching commitments had hampered the composer. Gradually, he was able to dispose of these tasks. Thus, from 1903 he finally had more time to compose, including, among other things, the Etudes op. 42. The c-sharp minor Etude no. 5 is the central star of this collection and an exemplary virtuoso piece. Scriabin himself spoke of it as “an etude that in power and grandeur surpasses the Third Symphony” – reason enough to place it as an affordable individual edition alongside the complete volume. For the Henle Urtext, both the first edition as well as the variants of the edition published after Scriabin’s death by his friend and colleague Nikolay Zhilyayev were carefully evaluated. Boris Giltburg’s tried and tested fingerings provide the best support for taking on this pianistic challenge.

Discover the timeless beauty of Kawase Hasui, the master of shin hanga, in this stunning new book, featuring his most breathtaking woodblock prints and expert insights into his legacy. Kawase Hasui (1883–1957) was one of the most important and prolific Japanese printmakers of the 20th century. He was one of the main creators of the shin hanga (‘new prints’) movement, whose artists depicted traditional subjects in a style influenced by Western painting. Shin hanga prints are harmoniously balanced designs, printed on the highest quality paper using the finest pigments, and in small editions. They are the fruit of a traditional yet successful collaboration between artist, publisher, block cutter and printer and have become increasingly popular among collectors of Japanese prints in the last decade. Hasui began his artistic career studying Japanese painting. However, soon after seeing Shinsui’s Eight Views of Lake Biwa series, Hasui turned to woodblock printing in 1919. Shozaburo Watanabe was the first to recognize his artistic genius, and Hasui Kawase soon became the most popular artist working for this prestigious publisher. He produced nearly a thousand woodcuts in a career that spanned almost forty years. Towards the end of his life, the Japanese government recognized him as a ‘Living National Treasure’ for his contribution to Japanese culture.

At the outbreak of the Second World War in September 1939, such was the build-up of men and materials in the RAF that Lincolnshire was already known as 'Bomber Country'. Its four main airfields - Hemswell, Scampton, Waddington and Cottesmore - were home to eight squadrons of Bomber Command under the legendary Arthur 'Bomber' Harris. Night after night the skies of Lincolnshire reverberated with the sound of aircraft taking off and landing. For the aircrews the missions were very dangerous and physically exhausting. The chances of surviving a full tour of 30 operations were only 50/50, less in the first five sorties while aircrews gained valuable experience. Their targets were roads, railways, bridges, harbours, dams, factories and oil installations. Many medals were won - some of them posthumously. On the Dambusters Raid alone, 36 were awarded; a VC for the leader Guy Gibson, five DSOs, 14 DFCs, 12 DFMs and three Conspicuous Gallantry Medals. In this well researched and excellently written book, Rupert Matthews - himself the son of a Bomber Command sergeant who fought in the Second World War - describes many of the operations in detail and tells the story of courageous individuals who, despite the odds, flew mission after mission - heroes every one of them.

On June 19, 2020, Bob Dylan's album Rough and Rowdy Ways was released, the first with songs newly written by the master in eight years! It was preceded by three songs on the Internet that caused a stir, especially the first, the seventeen-minute masterpiece "Murder Most Foul." The critical reception was excellent, and the public welcomed this album. But what motivated Bob Dylan to make one more album, he who had already made thirty-eight in his sixty-year career, not counting the multiple compilations? And what could it bring? Why did Bob Dylan find it necessary to release an album of unpublished compositions in the year 2020? Did he want to say something in particular, or was it just to amuse himself and make fun of people who claimed he could not compose anything more after receiving the Nobel Prize for Literature? The author does not claim to provide all the answers to the questions that listeners may ask about these ten songs and what followed, but to offer avenues for understanding their production and their meaning. This album was followed in 2021 by a live streaming show, Shadow Kingdom, and a tour in the United States and in Europe, with a setlist including almost all the songs from Rough and Rowdy Ways. After touring, Dylan published a new book, The Philosophy of Modern Song. About the author: Bilingual French and English speaking François Guillez discovered Bob Dylan at the age of fifteen and continues to be interested in him today.François wrote a biography of Bob Dylan, from 1941 up to 2021, published by Camion Blanc, the first and foremost French publisher in rock and pop music.

Dvorák worked longer and more intensively on this Trio than on just about any other chamber music work. After his first successes with pieces inspired by Czech folk music, namely the popular Slavonic Dances (HN 757 and 918), he now wanted to prove himself as a composer of the highest order. This is why in the following summer, he thoroughly reworked the Trio that he had written within eight weeks in spring 1883 before giving it to his publisher. Although Brahms’ music was the undeniable model for the new work, it did not hinder the unfolding of a very personal tone that blends expressiveness and passion. As with the “Dumky” Trio op. 90 (HN 799), Andreas Groethuysen is once again responsible for the fingerings of the piano part.
