Dong-Suk Kang - Danses Norvegiennes / Air Norvegien - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Love goes bad, you end up living on a couch, working as a barista in the city you moved to in order to be a singer. Summer comes, the bars close, and after a long time you find Yourself writing again. Maybe you can't hold back anymore and you make a record. Maybe you drop everything and go Back to doing the only thing you really need Voice, guitar, and playing anywhere. This is the debut of Gattotoro, named after a friend's dead cat. Because cats, as everyone knows, always have a couple of extra lives to lend.

Homage to the powerful was nothing unusual in the Baroque era; Thomas Selle, however, took it a bit further he paid tribute to several members of his prince's family with musical InchLaudationes. Selle combined the compendium with Inchlittle sacred concerts,Inch since secular power and religion went hand in hand. In these concerts, the everyday worries of the rural population, who hoped for consolation in religion, are the subject of discussion. Thomas Sella's work thus occupies a special position. The story is told on different levels, neo-Latin poetry meets Bible verses, combined in a highly intellectual way with subtexts and set to moving music. It unites longing for peace and the romance of chivalry, religiosity and absolutism, cries of triumph and contemplation, archaism and humanism, pathos and charity, luxury and humility. Thomas Selle covers the entire spectrum of human nature in all it's contradictions. Thus, this work remains highly topical even in our time.
