About this product
Korngold's Violin Concerto was completed in 1945. This is a beautiful, late Romantic work that harks back clearly to Korngold's earlier compositional style, when he was a younger man living in Vienna. But had he really turned his back on film music he was used to composing in America? Every movement of the Concerto is scattered with fragments from a range of his film scores. The Violin Concerto was a huge success at it's premiere, not least due to the performance by Jascha Heifetz as soloist. The 1950s, a period when Korngold's career and indeed his life were drawing to a close, were a most productive time for Leonard Bernstein. He was achieving major successes on Broadway with his musicals. The Serenade for violin, strings, harp and percussion had it's premiere in Venice in 1954. There were two factors behind the composition. He had accepted a commission from the Koussevitzky Foundation. Also, he had long been promising a new piece for his close friend, the violinist Isaac Stern. Both of these commitments coincided in the Serenade, an extremely lyrical, five-movement work, akin to the violin concerto.

Foursome follows 2016's Threesome, and - fittingly - it's even wilder. All four Buttering members are prolific collaborators outside the Trio, and their music together has always been the product of spontaneous creation and discovery. No agenda, no expectations. Their first full LP with Bresler behind the drums, Foursome emerged from four days in a Tel Aviv studio in 2020. After years of programming grooves, the album is also their first fully live set - every sound was written, arranged and recorded on the spot, blooming spontaneously from jams and then condensed into songs. InchIt felt like a lemon being squeezed,Inch says Dun. InchAll those creative juices in such a dense time.Inch The album is 12 tracks of sticky-sweet, smoke-filled grooves, as dreamy as they are danceable.1 - Good Company2 - Come Hither3 - See If It Fits4 - Move In5 - Desert Dream Romance6 - When I Face Your Beauty7- Air In Rest8- Keep It Simple9- Don't Book Me10- Succulent For Valentine11 - Close To You12 - Dancing With Insomnia
