About this product
The strident conviction of Goffredo Petrassi (1904-2003) his seven postwar Concertos for Orchestra could hardly be anticipated from the fluent pastiche of his piano Partita, composed in 1926. The Baroque titles of the four movements introduce a disarming simplicity of expression, whose dominant strains are the Classicism of Mozart and Beethoven. Even the more exploratory harmonies of the Toccata (1933) are couched in an idiom of gentle introspection - a far cry from the contemporary toccatas of Bartok and Prokofiev, for example - and an escapist, playful spirit courses through the seven Inventions of 1944. Extant surveys of Petrassi's piano music end there, whereas Andrea Molteni adds three further, attractive miniatures a mischievous Petit Piece of 1950 and then the two movements of Oh Les Beaux Jours! (1976), which rework material from the early 1940s including an unfinished Divertimento Scarlattiano. Unexpected this may be, for all but the most devoted student of Petrassi, but Andrea Molteni brings out the most attractive and witty features of his piano writing. Luigi Dallapiccola (1904-1975) was, if anything, an even keener student of Baroque music than Petrassi, and blessed with a more subversive wit in one of his most famous works, the Quaderno Musicale di Annalibera (1951-2) he fashions a dodecaphonic sequence on Bach's name (B.A.C.H). Twelve-tone counterpoint should be a contradiction in terms, but that would underestimate Dallapiccola's powers of technique and invention, which create a genuine homage in the spirit of his own time. Before that, Andrea Molteni presents two further works in a haunting neoclassical vein a 'Canonic Sonata' based on Paganini's Capricci for solo violin, and a set of three 'Episodes' drawn from his ballet Marsia, by turns anguished and serene in mood.

Gatefold LP (Limited. Gold vinyl). InchFolk Songs of the American LonghairInch (2010) is Brother Dege's now critically-acclaimed debut album - a record that Quentin Tarantino later referred to as Inchlike a greatest hits albumInch of new Delta blues. InchAmerican LonghairInch delivers postmodern tales of desperate southerners, apocalyptic prophecies, midnight angels, hippie drifters, burning barns, and the endless ghosts that haunt the history of the Deep South. Quietly self-released with no distribution, no representation, and absolutely no hype, the album quickly earned four & five star reviews and gained the attention of numerous tastemakers in film and TV, scoring sync placements on Discovery Channel's InchAfter the Catch (Deadliest Catch)Inch, National Geographic's InchHard RidersInch, womens' cycling documentary InchHalf the RoadInch, Netflix's InchThe AfflictedInch, and most notably, hand-picked by Quentin Tarantino for inclusion in the movie and soundtrack to InchDjango UnchainedInch where Dege's song InchToo Old to Die YoungInch plays in the movie's pivotal, climactic scene.
Double vinyl LP pressing has 12 songs spread across three sides with a custom etched fourth side. Housed in gatefold jacket. Recorded in the spring of 2010 and then mysteriously abandoned by Prince before it's , the statement album Welcome 2 America documents Prince's concerns, hopes, and visions for a shifting society, presciently foreshadowing an era of political division, disinformation, and a renewed fight for racial justice. The album features some of Prince's only studio collaborations with the bassist Tal Wilkenfeld, drummer Chris Coleman, and engineer Jason Agel, with additional contributions from New Power Generation singers Shelby J, LIV Warfield, and Elisa Fiorillo and keyboardist Morris Hayes, who Prince also recruited to co-produce the album.
