Amilcare Ponchielli - II Convegno - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Medieval interest in animals and mythical creatures was not limited to the visual arts and literature. At the same time that bestiaries - manuscripts depicting animals and mythical creatures - were being compiled, composers were producing innumerable pieces that describe these same beasts from a musical point of view. InchSong of BeastsInch combines medieval iconography with texts and music, immersing a modern audience in this fascinating world of verbal, visual and aural imagery. Ensemble Dragma paints a multifaceted, moving and in depth portrait of the bestiaries, giving a glimpse of a long lost medieval mindset. Various mythical and real animals are introduced, including the panther, the viper, the Phoenix and the basilisk. These pieces by both renowned and less well-known composers are musical jewels, combining artful poetry with engaging melodies. Album Tracks 1. I Hear Me Roar 2. Una Panthera 3. Ung Lion Say 4.

Nicht Bach, sondern Meer sollte er heißen! (Ludwig van Beethoven) The InchMusical OfferingInch collection of pieces, dedicated to the Prussian King, Frederick II, is a contrapuntal masterpiece, in which Johann Sebastian Bach seems to draw every conceivable facet from a single theme (Thema Regium - royal theme). It is a musical testament of the old master, full of freshness, creativity and original quality - like an endless sea. With this recording, Ensemble Barockin' presents a musically careful and genuinely new interpretation. Ensemble Barockin' is an international ensemble with musicians from Russia, France, Germany and Japan who are committed to performing early music in the original sound. The album artwork was created by artist, photographer and graphic designer Marc Köschinger. The cover shows a long time-exposure of the ocean. The picture was exposed at night over a longer period of time, so that it defines neither space nor time, something the musicians of Ensemble Barockin' particularly liked for this very special recording of this work by Bach. Music without space and time like a reverberation of the universe - for this, it was added a Morse code to the text on the cover that makes the composer's name sound through space like an echo JOHANN SEBASTIAN BACH Album Tracks 1.
