About this product

Gli amori d'Apollo e di Dafne, premiered at the Teatro Tron di San Cassiano in Venice in 1640, marked the first collaboration between two geniuses, the poet Giovan Francesco Busenello and the composer Francesco Cavalli. The value of this first libretto, magnified by the superb music of Cavalli, lies above all in the beauty and rich poetry of it's literary style. Musically, the work is still, in certain respects, dependent on the Florentine tradition of recitar cantando until fairly late in the Seicento, recitative remained the most important and prestigious musical and stylistic tool in opera. Nonetheless, closed forms are fairly widespread, and the opera abounds in ensembles. The rhythmic and metrical richness of the text allows Cavalli to give free rein to his creative genius arias, lamenti, duets, even trios, choruses - the variety of strophic forms is as great as the expressiveness of the recitative... Glossa now reissues a fine recording of this opera, performed by the Argentinian Gabriel Garrido and his Ensemble Elyma, with a splendid vocal cast including Anders Dahlin, Rosa Domínguez, Emanuela Galli, Paola Quagliata and Salvo Vitale.

Vinterland - Welcome My Last Chapter   - VINYL LP

Vinyl LP pressing. 1996 album from the Swedish black metal band.

Them - Manor Of The Se7en Gables   - VINYL LP

Limited 180gm vinyl LP pressing. With an impressive concept that combines the most significant components of US power and thrash metal and songs that focus on lyrics about spooks and horror, Them are one of the most unusual new metal acts. Their debut album Sweet Hollow (2016) already more than hinted at the artistic potential of the six-piece. Manor Of The Se7en Gables sees the group surrounding frontman KK Fossor present an album that takes up thematically where it's predecessor left off but goes on to explore the stylistic extremes of this musical genre even further. InchManor Of The Se7en Gables sounds harder, darker and technically more sophisticated than Sweet Hollow,Inch main songwriter Markus Ullrich notes. InchAt the same time, fans may be taken by surprise by a number of changes because we have unmistakably continued to evolve as a band during the past two years.Inch The German guitarist, who was among the founding members of prog metal band Lanfear before joining Them in autumn 2013 and continues to be a member of speed/thrash metal act Septagon and instrumental project A Cosmic Trail, values this evolvement InchI like it when songs also live up to certain technical standards. Luckily, we can easily fulfill those technical standards thanks to this outstanding line-up.Inch
