Capriccio Basel - Six Concertos in Seven Paris - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

?German-born American composer Kurt Weill was a leading composer for the stage in the first half of the 20th century. He is best known for his fruitful collaborations with poet and playwrite Bertolt Brecht. Their collaborations were hugely successful at the time, and remain popular. In this present recording, the Weill-Brecht collaboration is featured in the classic The Seven Deadly Sins, possibly their most famous composition. Also presented in this is the rarely heard yet charming Suite panameenne along with the ever popular orchestral suite from The Threepenny Opera. This live concert recording, made in 1991 and 1993, was only ever released locally in Basel for a short period after the recording. FHR's remastered recording will now make the fully available on streaming platforms along with full worldwide CD distribution.

Tribes of Neurot - Grace [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/13/1999

The 12th Musica Sacromontana Festival (2017) saw the contemporary premiere of another work by Józef Zeidler, the spiritual patron of this event. The Mass in D major (just like the monumental Mass ex D) has been preserved in the collections of Die Bayerische Staatsbibliothek in Munich. The Mass in D major seems to be a more personal and natural work, where simplicity gains the features of conscious artistry. The music is maximally organized, both in the construction of individual phrases and larger formal entities. The MUSICA SACROMONTANA Festival is meant to continue the intentions of the Oratory of Saint Philip Neri, who wanted to evangelize through the broadly understood propagation of culture. It is thanks to their efforts that in the 17th century a great ensemble was created there, and the greatest composers, including Palestrina, came to Gostyn. Many of them wrote pieces on commission of the Congregation; fathers also filled the library with copies of works of the greatest masters.
