Demayo,Amelia / Buckler,Curt / Dreznin,Sergei - Kamp Songs and Satire from Theresienstadt - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The contact with Gordon Kampe's music is like - guided by suggestive sound impressions - the perception of an imaginary theater. Titelgebungen, set headlines and section names of his works refer for example to the world of cinematic science fiction designs à la InchStar TrekInch and InchAlienInch. In other compositions, however, also quite different associations are conjured up. As Inchmetaphors machinesInch used, indicate such designations the uncertainties of a pre-determined course, whose music filled time holds unexpected and unforeseen. A central compositional characteristic is the sudden turn, which manifests itself as an unusual action or instrumental solo and thus defies the common musical affect.

Reiner Bredemeyer, born in 1929, is one of the most famous composers of the former German Democratic Republic. His extensive oeuvre includes chamber music, songs and song cycles, orchestral works, solo concertos, operas, radio plays and stage music. Characteristic of Brede Meyers musical language is a concise, aphoristic concise and clear diction gestural. The CD is now released on WERGO shows a small part of his compositional diversity. The InchBagatelles for exampleInch were Brede Meyers unpathetischer contribution to Beethoven's 200th birthday. For the then InchGerman-GermanInch oboe duo Burkhard Glaetzner and Ingo Goritzki he wrote InchDuet / llInch while InchSeptet 80Inch for the tenth anniversary of the Leipzig group Neue Musik InchHanns EislerInch originated. InchSolo 7Inch and Inchstriking piece 1Inch belong to a series of solo pieces, which also can be combined with each other conceptually. InchAll nine - a Marksmen MusicInch is a tough and cheerful homage to Heinrich Schütz. The setting of the InchWinterreiseInch caused quite a stir, Bredemeyer turns but to the bitterness and sadness, but also InchcourageousInch protest expressing verses of Vormarz poet Wilhelm Müller his lyre in a contemporary way, the sleepers in defiance and Wilhelm Müller honor (Ute Wollny). This recording was awarded the InchPrize of the German Record Critics' Award - Quarterly listInch excellent.

CUSTÓDIO CASTELO is the world's leading player of the Portuguese fado guitar, the instrument that helped make fado music Portugal's Intangible Cultural Heritage (UNESCO). Like Carlos Paredes, Custódio Castelo creates groundbreaking new sounds that have promoted the Portuguese Guitar to a concert instrument that can be played solo or as accompaniment. His unique Portuguese guitar, handmade from an oak root by master Oscar Cardoso, is capable of fine nuances of emotion, and he uses them well, especially for melancholy, but also for a sense of jubilation. On this Custódio Castelo plays fados made famous by the Queen of Fado, Amália Rodrigues. InchCustódio Castelo is the world's leading exponent of the Guitarra Portuguesa, the instrument that gives the country's fado music it's poignant song.Inch
