Cynthia Valenzuela - Celtic Harp - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Amadeus Chor sings 'Abendlieder', inspired by the tradition of the Evensong. On the threshold of the night the day is considered, lamentation, thanks and praise and prayer have room. In the transition to sleep, to dream, people entrust themselves to the hidden light in the darkness. And so the compositions invite to a kind of second naivety, to peace and confidence in a reliable and true universe. Amadeus-Chor (= AMN) is an ensemble of some 50 singers, whose common interest is choir music at a very high level. Being located in Neuendettelsau (near Nuremberg, Germany) it's members gather for rehearsal weekends from all over south Germany once a month.

Valenzuela - Jungle Harp [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/2000

Limited 180 gm vinyl LP pressing. With their 1978 eponymous debut, Van Halen simultaneously rewrote the rules of rock guitar and hard rock in general. Guitarist Eddie Van Halen redefined what the electric guitar could do, developing a blindingly fast technique with a variety of self-taught two-handed tapping, hammer-on's, pull-offs, and effects that mimicked the sounds of machines and animals. It was wildly inventive and over the top, equaled only by vocalist David Lee Roth, who brought the role of a metal singer to near-performance art standards. Mastering engineer Chris Bellman, who remastered the original albums at Bernie Grundman Mastering Studios, was enlisted for this new version. In order to produce the original sound the band intended, Bellman cut straight from the quarter-inch tapes.
