Callas Maria - Assoluta: The Best Of 2 (Crystal) LP
KDO: Maria Callas (soprano), Francesco Albanese (tenor), Carlos Sagarmínaga (tenor), Tito Gobbi (baritone), Alberto Herrera (baritone), Franscisco Alonso (bass), Coro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Coro del Teatro alla Scala, Milano, Orchestra del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, Orchestra del Teatro alla Scala, Milano, Orchestra of the Royal Opera House, Covent Garden, Orchestra Sinfonica di Torino della RAI, Orchestre du Theatre national de l’Opera de Paris, Orquesta del Palacio de Bellas Artes, Mexico City, Philharmonia Orchestra / Conductors: Erich Kleiber, Umberto Mugnai, Georges Pretre, John Pritchard, Gabriele Santini, Georges Sebastian, Tullio Serafin
CO: Řecko-americká sopranistka Maria Callas byla bezpochyby jedním z největších pěveckých fenoménů 20. století. Zasloužila se o renesanci zájmu o italské belcato začátku 19. století a jeho hlavní exponenty Rossiniho, Belliniho a Donizettiho a svým neobyčejným hlasem s obrovským rozsahem dokázala s udivující lehkostí přednést party od koloraturního sopránu přes dramatický soprán až po úlohy téměř altové. Proto se někdy také označuje jako "assoluta", tedy raritní typ hlasu, schopný obsáhnout role z různých hlasových oborů. Co je snad ještě podstatnější, že při vší hlasové virtuozitě jí šlo vždy především o dramaticky pravdivé vyjádření emocí a charakterů. Není divu, že si takto výjimečná pěvecká osobnost dokázala už za svého života vybudovat kultovní status, živený navíc ještě osobními skandály a aureolou divy.

The Brand of Silence
Excerpt:Now the fog was clearing and the mist was lifting, and the bright sunshine was struggling to penetrate the billows of damp vapor and touch with its glory the things of the world beneath. In the lower harbor there still was a chorus of sirens and foghorns, as craft of almost every description made way toward the metropolis or out toward the open sea.The Manatee, tramp steamer with rusty plates and rattling engines and a lurch like that of a drunken man, wallowed her way in from the turbulent ocean she had fought for three days, her skipper standing on the bridge and inaudibly giving thanks that he was nearing the end of the voyage without the necessity for abandoning his craft for an open boat, or remaining to go down with the ship after the manner of skippers of the old school.

Thunder - All The Right Noises (Deluxe Edition) 2CD
KDO: Thunder je britská hard-rocková skupina, která vznikla v roce 1989 rozštěpením tehdejší formace Terraplane. Během devadesátých let se kapela proslavila hlavně v domovské Anglii, ale také v Japonsku. S několika přestávkami v činnosti působí na scéně dodnes.
CO: Třinácté studiové album britských hard-rockových hrdinů dostalo název "All The Right Noises". Album je návratem k "plnému" rockovému zvuku, který jim pomáhal vybudovat si úspěšnou, více jak třicetiletou kariéru. Skladby pro album byly napsány ještě před prvním lockdownem, a samotné album bylo natočeno během prvního měsíce první britské uzávěry, ale je zajímavé, jak aktuální přesto jsou i v této nové situaci, ve které se náš svět nachází. Kupříkladu první singl "Last One Out Turn Off The Lights" byl původně zamýšlen jako reakce na brexit, ale nyní je snad dle slov kapely ještě více aktuální.

The Philosophy of Living Nature je anglickým překladem přepracované verze Kratochvílovy knihy Filosofie živé přírody (1994), dnes již klasické práce zabývající se přirozeným světem a možnostmi jeho poznání.
