Durufle - In Paradisum - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Following his triumphant performances at the 2022 Coachella Music and ArtsFestival, Danny Elfman delivers Bigger. Messier, an ambitious double -albumcollection of remixed and reimagined tracks from his highly acclaimed BigMess album. This sprawling, 23 track collection (available on 2 LP or 2 CD)features tracks reworked by some of the most groundbreaking andsubversive artists around today. Bigger. Messier views the Grammy and Emmy Award-winning composerssongs through the lens of luminaries from diverse sides of the musicbusiness, including Trent Reznor, Iggy Pop, Squarepusher, andGhostemane. Elfman once again has achieved a kind of artistic liberation on the recordthat had been eluding him for decades, and connecting him to brand newaudience. Born and raised in southern California, Elfman began his career aspart of a surrealist, avant-garde musical theater troupe known as The MysticKnights of Oingo Boingo. The group would eventually morph into the criticallyacclaimed rock band Oingo Boingo, whose high-energy performances andgenre-bending sound garnered them a fanatically devoted cult following inthe 1980s and '90s. Among the group's early fans was fledgling director TimBurton and Paul Reubens (aka Pee-wee Herman), who enlisted Elfman toscore their first feature film, Pee-wee's Big Adventure. The collaborationwould prove to be the start of a long and fruitful partnership for Elfman andBurton, with Elfman going on to score a string of iconic Burton features likeBatman, Beetlejuice, Big Fish, Edward Scissorhands, and The NightmareBefore Christmas. To date, Elfman has scored more than 100 films. Album Tracks 1. We Belong (Squarepusher Remix) 2. Happy (Little Snake Dying in the Club Edition) 3. Happy (33Emybw Remix) 4. Sorry (Kid606 Remix) 5.

The Sofia Vocal Ensemble invites you to step into paradise, courtesy of ten of the most beautiful choral works written by composers of our time. For nearly 25 years, Bengt Ollén has fashioned his chamber choir Sofia Vocal Ensemble into one of the finest and most distinctive ensembles of it's kind in Sweden and the world. Here, the choir presents a selection of it's favourite works of the last half century - music that has inspired and shaped it's sound. We hear works by Swedish, Estonian, Russian, Scottish and Welsh composers, separated by contrasting traditions but united by striking beauty. These masterpieces include Alfred Schnittke's hopeful Three Sacred Hymns, James MacMillan's keening Miserere, Arvo Pärt's meditative Nunc Dimittis, Karin Rehnqvist's shimmering Jag lyfter mina hander, Paul Mealor's consoling Beatitudes and Sven David Sandström's radiant In Paradisum. The works are more than personal favourites. They are each, in different ways, highly suited to Sofia Vocal Ensemble's warm, lyrical sound (and in some instances tailored to it) - a meeting of Swedish choral discipline with Ollén's longstanding work to widen the group's dynamic and expressive range. The sound is embracing and alluring, rooted in finesse of blend and perfection of diction. Album Tracks 1. In Paradisum 2. Sanctus 3. Cantate Domino 4. Anim Zemirot 5. Misere 6.
