Historically informed performance practice is no longer just an issue for Baroque or Classical music, but now a relevant matter in twentieth century music, as well, as this 2005 release from Supraphon demonstrates. Harpsichordist Monika Knoblochová has applied her considerable scholarship and meticulous keyboard skills in rendering Bohuslav Martinu's entertaining works for harpsichord and small instrumental groups in their original state, as found in the manuscripts, without compromises or later editorial changes. Martinu's "Back to Bach" pieces, along with the quirky Concerto (1923-1926) by Manuel de Falla, seem to benefit from this exacting period treatment, and the vivacious Concerto for harpsichord and chamber orchestra (1935) may be appreciated as one of the most satisfying neo-Baroque works since Stravinsky's celebrated "Dumbarton Oaks" Concerto.

Mozart's most famous masterpieces include the Requiem in D minor, "Lacrimosa" from the Requiem, "Queen of the Night" aria from The Magic Flute, and "Sull'aria" from The Marriage of Figaro. Other notable works include Symphony No. 40, Piano Sonata No. 16, and several piano concertos, including No. 21 and No. 23.

Mozart's "Great Sacred Choruses" encompasses a collection of his most notable sacred choral works, including his Requiem in D Minor (K. 626), the Great Mass in C Minor (K. 427), and other pieces like Ave verum corpus (K. 618) and Vesperae solennes de confessore (K. 339). These works are considered some of the most important and influential sacred compositions ever written.

Mozart's operas are renowned for their beautiful and dramatic arias. Some of his most famous include "Der Hölle Rache" (The Queen of the Night's aria) from The Magic Flute, "Madamina, il catalogo è questo" (Leporello's catalogue aria) from Don Giovanni, and "Voi che sapete" from The Marriage of Figaro. These arias showcase Mozart's mastery of vocal writing and his ability to convey complex emotions through music.

Power guitarist Gary Moore's Live at Monsters of Rock is a dream come true for every guitar freak out there. Teamed with his trio of Cass Lewis and Darrin Mooney, Moore turns it up to 14 and powers his way through razored, crunching covers of the Yardbirds' "Shapes of Things" and Free's "Wishing Well" before delving into his own rather voluminous catalog. Performances of the riff-laden "Rectify," the bluesed-out "Stand Up," and the completely adrenaline-fueled metal of "Out in the Fields" take this over the top. But the final track, a deeply moving version of "Pariesienne Walkways," is a fitting tribute to the tune's original vocalist and former Thin Lizzy bandmate Phil Lynott. There is nothing but pure power here – no restraint, no mixing, no overdubs, nothing but pure Monsters of Rock power. This is the guitar record Moore had been promising his entire career.
