A. Berg - Lulu - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Einar Steen-N kleberg - Lyric Pieces (Selection) [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/06/2000

The legendary German Mozart & Strauss singer, Anneliese Rothenberger, totally clashed with her image of 'charm and grace&' in the scandalous role of Berg's Lulu. The 1968 Hamburg production of Berg's unfinished version was a sensational success for Rothenberger with critics and audience alike. The international revivals at the Montreal World's Fair and the Metropolitan Opera of the opera garnered critical-acclaim. Berg Lulu is part of the Electrola Collection, a series that celebrates the historic record tag, Electorla. Electrola was part of the EMI Classics unit in Germany best known for their rich catalogs, masterful artists and the iconic gramophone trademark.

Vinyl LP pressing. 2020 . The Shadow is an album of growth. Each song on The Shadow examines an aspect of this growth through a different musical lens, adding up to a series of rock-and-roll vignettes of light, shadow, anxiety and responsibility. Frantic punk-scenes of information overload are contrasted by patient drones of introspection; fun, ear-worm musings of life as a young rock band are juxtaposed with the heavier responsibility of having a voice and not quite knowing what to say. The amalgam of information in the songs is complemented with a blend of sonic perspectives. All of this adds up to a swirling, dynamic, at times disorienting but ultimately honest image of modern life as young, able, and anxious people. With The Shadow, we draw inspiration from the chaos and contrast, we admit that we only exist as a balance of shadow and light, and we commit to the responsibility of reflection and growth.
