Scriabin – Piano Works – Yevgeny Sudbin. Released earlier this year, this album scored a perfect 10 at Classics Today: “…the most well-chosen, brilliantly played single-disc selection of Scriabin’s piano music currently available”.
Annie Lennox – Songs of Mass Destruction. Put together a top 5 list of the best female singers alive and she’s bound to be there!
The Shins – Wincing the Night Away. 4,5 stars out of 5 on Amazon. An outstanding pop album.
Eighth Blackbird – Strange Imaginary Animals. I had the great privilege of hearing Eighth Blackbird live at last year’s Look and Listen Festival. A review of the album can be found at Ionarts.
