Bach,J.S. / Bonizzoni - Harpsichord Concertos 1 - SUPER-AUDIO CD [Super Audio CD (SACD)]

Here we present the follow-up to the critically acclaimed first volume of Bach's Harpsichord Concertos by Fabio Bonizzoni and his group La Risonanza. This second volume includes a more varied range of works as it starts with the most famous Brandenburg Fifth, which is the first ever harpsichord concert. After the BWV 1054, we have the rather rare BWV 1057, which is the harpsichord version of the Brandenburg Fourth. To end Bonizzoni's survey of all Bach's harpsichord concertos, we find the famous and beloved Triple concerto, with violin and flute. Of the first volume, critics wrote InchHarpsichordist Fabio Bonizzoni does a credible job in integrating the concertos so that they appear not as a soloist versus the ensemble, but rather as an integral part.Inch (Fanfare) InchBonizzoni achieves the difficult task of combining subtle artifice and interpretative joie de vivre with a manner that appears natural and uncomplicated... enticing for it's musical strengths.Inch (Gramophone)

Sid Griffin is a leading light of the Americana music scene having been a key part of this musical and cultural revolution since it began. His first professional break was with the Unclaimed in the post-punk L.A. scene circa 1980, a band which inspired all the later acts of the Paisley Underground (Bangles, Rain Parade, Dream Syndicate) and one Little Steven acclaimed publicly on his SiriusXM Underground Garage radio show. Two years later Griffin, a Kentucky native, shifted to performing the roots rock of his youth as a founder of the Long Ryders, a band which played Americana and alt-country tunes long before they were the established musical genres they are today. Currently Griffin and the Long Ryders are on display in Nashville via a sizable portion of the Country Music Hall of Fame's acclaimed Western Edge exhibit alongside Griffin's peers in Lone Justice and his heroes The Byrds. The Journey From Grape To Raisin is Sid's first solo album in a decade. It was recorded in Nashville with his trusted producer Thomm Jutz (Nanci Griffith, Otis Gibbs, Steve Young) and dear friends such as legendary bassist Mark Fain (Ricky Skaggs, Chris Hillman) and session whiz Tammy Rogers (Patty Loveless, Trisha Yearwood). It's eleven songs include ten Griffin originals and one campfire cover of, get ready, the Velvet Underground's Femme Fatale. When asked about the sessions and the album as a whole Griffin smiles and calls The Journey From Grape To Raisin Inchmy career highlight, the best work I am ever likely to do. Heaven forbid I should go but if I did I'd die happyInch.
