  • Music Reviews: 2012 marks the composer's 75th birthday, and he has taken to the road for a handful of live appearances in the U.S.



  • Rick Ross / Busta Rhymes
  • Music Reviews: Rick Ross has recalibrated for 2012 by honoring canceled tour dates and releasing an ambitious, doom-riddled mixtape "Rich Forever."



  • Lana Del Rey
  • Music Reviews||Live Events: The much-anticipated Los Angeles debut of New York-based hype queen Lana Del Rey was a tepid and mostly awkward affair.



  • Faust
  • Music Reviews: Few would argue that Charles Gounod's 1859 operatic version of the familiar "Faust" tale is any kind of masterpiece, yet it remains a perennially popular staple of opera's repertoire.



  • Sting
  • Music Reviews: Following a highly successful but half-hearted Police reunion tour and forays into symphonic and Renaissance music, Sting has gone back to the basics on his aptly named Back to Bass tour.



  • Duke Ellington's Cotton Club Parade
  • Music Reviews: The resplendently renovated City Center puts its best foot forward, with tap shoes, in "Cotton Club Parade."



  • Guns n' Roses
  • Music Reviews: Timing is everything in the world of Guns N Roses. From the oft-ridiculed span it took to create the ultimately disappointing "Chinese Democracy" album to Axl Rose's curfew-busting, occasionally riot-inducing lateness, the band might as well incorporate a clock and/or a calendar into its logo.



  • Feist
  • Music Reviews||Live Events: If she had wanted it, Leslie Feist could have easily snagged the indie-pop princess crown. Her quadruple-Grammy-nominated 2007 album, "The Reminder," boasted catchy tunes such as "1234" and "My Moon Man" that sold countless iPods and taught kids how to count along with Elmo. But instead of cashing in on that success, Feist took time off to regroup and rejuvenate, and returned with "Metals," a thoughtful, introspective collection of songs that showcases her smoky, honey- tinged voice and complex musicianship, proving she'd rather be a serious artist than a pop confection.



  • Josh Groban
  • Music Reviews: Not many performers who've come of age in the past decade can rightly call themselves all-around entertainers, but as borne out by recent entries on his resume, Josh Groban has a legitimate claim to the title.



  • Bryan Ferry
  • Music Reviews: Launching his first U.S. concert tour in nearly a decade, music icon Bryan Ferry did not disappoint a standing-room-only New York crowd at the Beacon Theatre Thursday night.



  • Ravi Shankar
  • Music Reviews: At last, Ravi Shankar fans were rewarded for their patience and perseverance, for the road to this concert was long and torturous.



  • Radiohead
  • Music Reviews: Radiohead's music often requires a good deal of time and effort to unravel, but the band's day-to-day operations are all about immediate gratification.



  • Elton John
  • Music Reviews: Never let it be said that Elton John doesn't have a sense of humor.



  • Rhapsody in Blue
  • Music Reviews: Walt Disney Concert Hall was the color blue for opening night of the Los Angeles Philharmonic and music director, Gustavo Dudamel, got together with creative chair for jazz, Herbie Hancock, for an all-Gershwin blowout.



  • Bon Iver
  • Music Reviews: Bon Iver's Justin Vernon has consistently built upon the niche success of his 2008 debut album "For Emma, Forever Ago."



  • James Blake
  • Music Reviews: James Blake seems to have carved out a sonic territory all his own, mixing the oblique rhythms of dubstep with the emotion and melodicism of mainstream R&B.



  • Eugene Onegin
  • Music Reviews: It's hard to believe that L.A. Opera, now celebrating its 25th anniversary, is staging its first "Onegin."



  • Fleet Foxes
  • Music Reviews||Live Events: Over the past four years, Fleet Foxes' music has risen to a level of commercial viability that few modern folk artists achieve.



  • Quincy Jones and the Global Gumbo All-Stars
  • Music Reviews||Live Events: It's doubtful that anyone else could assemble the kind of cast that Quincy Jones did for a long-overdue retrospective of his improbable career at Hollywood Bowl Wednesday night.



  • Taylor Swift
  • Music Reviews||Live Events: An increasingly interesting young adult performer still tethered to the teen-pop machinery, Taylor Swift played to her base for the first of four sold-out engagements at Staples Center last night in support of monster seller "Speak Now," delivering a supreme spectacle that could well mark a turning point in her career.
