Beethoven / Hungarian State Orchestra / Ferencsik - Symphonies Nos 1 & 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Re-Sound Beethoven collection brings the Beethoven's symphonies back to the locations of their Viennese premieres. Four of these six venues still exist today, as do the eight Viennese halls and theatres where the composer's orchestral works were performed in his lifetime. The orchestral forces of the Wiener Akademie correspond in size and instrumentation to those Beethoven used.InchWe want to add to the possibilities of historical instruments the sound and the aura of the concert halls in which the composer himself conducted and experienced his works.Inch (Martin Häselbock) Album Tracks 1. Adagio Molto - Allegro Con Brio 2. Andante Cantabile Con Moto 3. Menuetto (Allegro Molto E Vivace) 4. Finale (Adagio - Allegro Molto E Vivace) 5. Adagio Molto - Allegro Con Brio 6. Larghetto 7. Scherzo (Allegro - Trio) 8. Allegro Molto

Limited gold vinyl LP pressing. InchIn 2008 I came across a box of 7Inch tapes at an estate sale in Altadena. The woman there said that they had belonged to her father and were Inchfield recordingsInch of a turn-of-the century orchestra. It took me maybe another year to actually load them up and transfer them to the computer. When I did, what I found was an incredible documentation of indigenous folkloric music that was meticulously recorded and then later transferred to 2-track tape sometime in the 1960's. The tapes were labeled InchContact Field OrchestraInch- a collection of field recordings that seem to date from sometime around the turn of the 20th century (possibly a little earlier). The sound this orchestra created is like something out of a Jim Jarmusch film, and reminds me of an old Library of Congress or Folkways recording. The music itself is full of opposites - hypnotizing and odd; meditative and jarring. It's strangely familiar, but also distantly unrecognizable. Some songs are more minimalist in their approach, building up a rhythm with mbiras and percussion, while others seem to have much more harmony and tonal structure and almost Blues/Country feel. Either way, they had me hooked from the first bar, and I find myself returning to it again and again, irregardless of my heavy-handed noodling... I'm really happy to have discovered this, and I hope you are too. All the best,Inch Damon Aaron Album Tracks 1. Iron Pyrite 2. In the Cave 3. Tobacco Flower 4. Shaman 5. Into the Mine 6. Man Down 7.
