Daniel Domenge - Patchwork - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Nomad wander through lands far and wide, Camped beneath the stars up in the sky. I awake in Liberchies one day Beneath looming clouds so cold and grey. Musique Metisse Saint Marie de la Mer, Gather my tribe afar. Music all night through to the dawn Bal Musette is to be born Music all night through to the dawn. Fate brings new sounds to pierce my hurt heart, Sound of swinging trumpet worlds apart Louis's sound forever haunts my mind Stephane's soul and mine forever bind Dark Clouds arrive to break up all love War and survival thrive Hard times yet music heals my soul The Maestro I am so told Hard times yet music heals my soul After war is over change comes fast, Neglect sets and people feel less heart. Decades after I have left this world Bale Boldo keeps my story told. From a land far and wide travel I Music is all I know. Fractured history to no end Music heals and language mends One day I come to Koblenz. 24.7.14 All songs are the original compositions of Daniel Weltlinger, with additional harmonies composed by Ian Date. Horn and String arrangements by Daniel Pliner (tracks 7-9). Daniel Weltlinger would like to thank BNP Paribas Australia and the BNP Paribas Foundation for their kind generosity in funding this recording project. This recording is dedicated to the life and times of Django Reinhardt (1910-1953) and to the entire Reinhardt family from Koblenz in particular Lulo Reinhardt and the late Bawo Reinhardt (1941-2013). This is a recording also dedicated to reaching an understanding of the complexity of history and circumstance that affects many people from around the world, in particular those from a Jewish or Sinti/Roma background. It is a prayer for peace.

Limited orange colored vinyl LP pressing. The band's fourth studio album from 2024! A rock'n'roll sensation from the word go, Danish-Brazilian duo The Courettes are back with their fourth and best album to date - The Soul Of... The Fabulous Courettes. And this time, they're bigger, wider and deeper than ever before as they add more to the blistering ramalama that's seen them cause pandemonium across the venues, festivals and airwaves of the UK, Europe, USA and Japan. Hitting the sweet spot that straddles garage rock, girl groups, doo-wop harmonies, heartache and all points in between, here The Courettes build on the momentum of predecessor 'Back In Mono' with a collection of songs that opens up their sonic scope while confronting dark, emotional matter to reveal 'The Soul Of The Fabulous Courettes'.

Gaede's Kreisler recording, on the other hand, is enchanting. The thirty-year-old violinist plays with a spirit we thought had died out. His playing technique is lit with a rare turn-of-the-century charm. He implores and pleads, he whistles, his chords sparkle, his frantic pace makes the violin laugh with merriment. Here is someone who has managed to regain Kreislerian innocence. (FonoForum)
