Amanda - Tres - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Jack Palmer, who is 72 and sings choral music regularly for the National Cathedral in Washington DC, says InchI believe nothing is more powerful than love, and that nothing expresses it better than singing. It was one of Amanda's songs that began healing our fractured relationship. Years later, I hope the love that went into this project will perhaps touch listeners in the same way.Inch Amanda Palmer and (her father) Jack Palmer are set to You Got Me Singing, a lovingly put together album, in July 2016. Amanda sings, and plays piano and ukulele, and Jack, a semi-professional choral singer, plays guitar and lends his rich bass voice to a variety of cover songs that span decades. The album was engineered by Joe Costa at Middletree studio in Nashville and recorded at Dreamland Studio in rural upstate New York. InchThe main inspiration behind this record was to share songs and time with my dadInch says Amanda, who was separated from her father when she was less than a year old, InchIt was a really good reason to spend healing time together, sharing our musical histories, all poetically punctuated by the fact that I was 7 months pregnant when we recorded. I knew that from my post at the mixing desk and the mic, this music was being heard in the womb, and so the song selection was really important... we didn't want this album to sound corny, we wanted it to sound like the connective tissue between three generations. The songs had to be simple.Inch Album Tracks 1. You Got Me Singing (Leonard Cohen) 2. Wynken, Blynken and Nod (Lucy & Carly Simon) 3.

When the 18-year-old Georg Friedrich Handel arrived in Hamburg to immerse himself in the dazzling world of opera, he sat in the violin section as though he could not count to five, according to his friend Johann Mattheson. A year later, he presented his first stage work, and by the age of 21, he had already won the hearts of the Italians - a prodigy of boundless versatility to whom no task was too difficult. Even where the clergy prohibited opera performances, the Inchdear SaxonInch, as they called him, ignited dramatic sparks. The two cantatas - one about the sorceress Armida, abandoned by her beloved, and the other about Emperor Nero's mother, condemned to death - are intense monodramas that continue to spellbind audiences today, especially when staged by an artist like Amanda Forsythe. One is grateful for the instrumental interludes that provide moments of respite between these captivating Inchpocket operasInch. Album Tracks 1.

?Music is and has always been a powerful means of expression and communication that goes beyond national borders. It is no different in the case of the works of Johann Sebastian Bach and Georg Philipp Telemann. Both composers drew inspiration not only from their native, German style but - like many of their contemporaries - also from other musical centres of 18th-century Europe, such as Italy and France. Their works were an important part of the music scene of that time and are still considered the quintessence of European Baroque music to this day. The pieces we have chosen have accompanied us since the beginning of our musical path and are a summary of our activities so far. They combine the orderly German structure of Bach's trio sonatas with the French elegance and splendor of Telemann's Paris Quartets. We hope you will enjoy the timeless beauty of these compositions and let us take you on an unforgettable musical journey. Très Animé is an early music ensemble founded in 2016 by four friends from Poznan. As soloists and chamber musicians they gained their skills at renowned european Academies of Music (including Germany, Switzerland, Estonia, Austria, Great Britain) and took part in many masterclasses under the guidance of eminent specialists in the performance of early music. From the beginning of their activity they obtained high marks at international competitions Biagio Marini Competition Neuburg an der Donau (Germany, 2016), Göttingen Händel Competition (Germany, 2017) and International Van Wassenaer Competition in Utrecht (the Netherlands, 2018), where they received a finalist award. Très Animé enjoys collaborating with other instrumentalists, vocalists and dancers. They were brought together by Poznan - the city where they started their adventure with early music. Album Tracks 1. Sonata in G Major, BWV 1038 2. Sonata No. 5 in C Major, BWV 529 3.
