Bach,J.S. / Berger,Julius / Kern,Olvier - Inspired By Bach: Works for Cello - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Navona Records proudly presents BREAKING THE SILENCE from legendary Australian composer George Palmer. The works featured on this new album draw inspiration from centuries-old poetry as well as the composer's own life experience; Breaking the Silence unpacks a 17th-century pastoral haiku depicting a lone frog's leap into a still pond, while Not Going Quietly is a touching tribute to a concert pianist whose life was cut short by a brain tumor. Palmer's versatility is on full display in this latest collection, with pieces arranged for chamber orchestra, clarinet and string quartet, and oboe and piano. A triumph of contemporary composition and modern recording, BREAKING THE SILENCE is at once approachable and universally captivating.

According to the liner notes, InchCalypso is... a humor-coated pellet of un-camouflaged truth... taking the opportunity of saying something to somebody in song that you couldn't say in polite society... The dummy for a singing ventriloquist.Inch Whether or not this is an apt description, this compilation brings together some of the best calypso from Trinidad and Antigua Johnny Gomez and Orchestra, Small Island Pride and Herbert Howard with the Brute Force Steelband, as well as Lord Cristo and Dictator.
