[music] Maurizio Pollini - Prelude in C Major

"Baroque era composer Johann Sebastian Bach is inarguably one of the pillars of European classical music. And his two volume The Well-Tempered Clavier is a crucial part of that cannon for pianists and listeners alike. The Milan-born Maurizio Pollini approaches the flowing arpeggios of Prelude in C Major with both technical authority and refined elegance. The 1960 first prize winner of the International Chopin Competition in Warsaw, Pollini provides a gateway for us mere mortal listeners to Bach’s dreamy and heavenly sounds." -- iTunes Store

[music] Steel Panther - Death to All But Metal

"Though they graduated Summa Cum Loud from the prestigious Kerrrang! School of Rock ‘n’ Roll Ribaldry, the primary members of Steel Panther (Michael Steel, Satchel, Lexxi Foxxx, Stix Zadinia) wouldn’t meet until later, while working separately on their doctorates in Metallurgy. The ensuing racket is collected on Feel the Steel and its volcanic single Death to All But Metal. If you’re sensitive to high-decibel guitar solos, double kick-drum rolls, multiple-octave vocals, and lyrics that hint that 50 Cent and Kanye West might enjoy each other’s company, perhaps there’s an Owl City song we can steer you toward instead. Everyone else: pack some earplugs, invest in a good sense of humor, and click away." -- iTunes Store

However, we think his latest full-length, Día Tras Día, will propel him to even greater acclaim. The title track is a poetic love ballad that pairs the suave singer’s comforting vocals with guitar-laden instrumentation, creating a passionate, soft-rock composition with universal appeal." -- iTunes Store

[music] Serabee - Driving Me Stupid

"Like an automatic scan through FM radio at 2 second intervals, singer/songwriter/multi-instrumentalist Serabee’s Driving Me Stupid dips into a variety of musical styles. There’s the timbales heard in salsa, the banjo of bluegrass and Americana, and the kind of soft, wordless snippets of singing that's at home on a trip-hop, smooth instrumental, or even bossa nova track. Once the rural Mississippi native busts out at the dramatic and hooky pop-rock chorus of Driving Me Stupid, it’s clear that she just deals in quality music, period." -- iTunes Store
