Divine Hand Ensemble - Viva Astor - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Led by concert thereminist Mano Divina Giannone, the Divine Hand Ensemble defies categorization. Mano Divina bends electricity with his hands to angelic voices from his fingertips while being backed by an exquisite string quartet, two harps, vibraphone, and accordion. The album, Aria 51, consists of covers of The Specials, Frank Zappa, Andrew Lloyd Weber, David Bowie and more. There aren't many bands that could go from playing a 16thcentury funerary concert in a cemetery to opening for Pope Francis' world address to backing the Lady in the Radiator from David Lynch's Eraser Head all within one week. The Divine Hand Ensemble is no ordinary band. Special celebrating the Theremin's 100 year anniversary! Mano Divina's control and poise over the instrument is dazzling - listen as he tames the wireless howl of the theremin into the art of Inchsinging electricity.Inch Special Limited Edition First Pressing on 5 color confetti vinyl.

It was also important to him not only to boldly illustrate the well-known passages and stages of the fate of the Virgin of Orleans in words and music, but to capture all the events within their entire context and reproduce them unabridged in sequence. Although many years of research have made Bornemann profoundly knowledgeable about the story, he has attempted to get even closer to the core of the truth by studying the sources intensively in order to decipher details of the events in the Middle Ages, which remain puzzling to this day and controversial among experts. Olivier Bouzy, the director of the Centre Jeanne d´Arc in Orleans, who helped to clarify some of the background issues thrown up by the complicated questions, supported him in his research. With Part 2 of his opus, Frank Bornemann has certainly come closer to his goal of creating a very special work, which is not only musically impressive, but also emotionally profound and moving. It will take the listener and surely, later, as a stage version, the audience on a moving a journey to a fasc
