Alexei Lubimov - Der Bote: Elegies for Piano - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Providing an overview of almost a century, this album reflects the aspirations of Polish nationalism through the works of three pivotal figures Karol Kurpinski, whose Fantasy for String Quartet is both serious and ingenious in design, Zygmunt Noskowski, whose witty piece on a theme of Viotti includes the use of a polacca, and Stanislaw Moniuszko, whose quartets balance the hymnal with the rustic.

Alexei Lubimov - Pourquoi Je Suis Sentimental [COMPACT DISCS] date 03/28/1995

This Record Store Day 2026 red coloured vinyl 2LP marks the 30th anniversary of Danny Elfman's score to the 1996 blockbuster movie Mission Impossible. It includes the instantly recognisable Mission Impossible theme, originally composed by Lalo Schifrin for the 1960s TV series, and rearranged by Elfman for the first movie in the Tom Cruise action franchise. The theme is known for it's suspense-filled rhythm with an unusual 5/4 time signature, and the famous four-note motif that opens the piece a musical nod to the Morse Code pattern for the letters M.I. (-- ··). This clever encoding not only ties the theme directly to the title but also reinforces the atmosphere of secret communications, covert operations, and puzzles that define the world of Mission Impossible.
