About this product

Recorded in St John's Church West Norwood, London in March 2022, Florilegium their 31st Channel Classics album Haydn Symphonies Nos. 6, 7 and 8. This recording involves 18 members of Florilegium, the exact same number Haydn had at his disposal when he composed these symphonies shortly after arriving at Esterhazy in 1761. Haydn's first symphonies for his new employer, Prince Paul Anton Esterházy, form a group of three entitled Morning, Noon and Night. Perhaps these were a result of the Prince's suggestion that Haydn write something programmatic along the lines of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. As symphonies for a small chamber orchestra, all three exploit the solo skills of each of Florilegium's principals, from flute to double bass, not to mention heroic horns as well as spectacular violin and cello solos, each vividly characterized in an almost operatic way. Florilegium's previous Haydn London Symphonies recording was hailed as Inchfirst rateInch by BBC Music Magazine. Florilegium is one of Britain's most outstanding period instrument groups specializing in music from the 17th and 18th centuries. Many of their recordings have garnered international awards over the years.

Iylas - ...makes A Friend   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Lylas... 'Makes a Friend,' is a document of old and new. This mini-album marks the first, official of these Nashville locals who have been writing and playing since 2000. Fronted by songwriter, Kyle Hamlett, the group began in a quiet, little corner of Murfreesboro, TN. Being the college town that it is, numerous music acts get their start in this small scene. However, Lylas spent most of it's time shying away from the live show, and concentrating on recordings which are showcased on this . '... Makes a Friend' is a dichotomy of early and new material. The first half of the album consists of tracks recorded as early as 2001 while the last half suggests where Hamlett's songwriting is headed. The essence of Lylas is, on the whole, rooted in a more traditional method of songwriting. There are traces of numerous influences, including folk, pop, bluegrass, and even rock but, Lylas manages to channel these ideas into a cohesive sound, guided by Hamlett's delicate vocals. '... Makes a Friend' is the perfect album to play on a warm, sunny, Sunday morning, as well as a cold, rainy afternoon. The songs are easy going and sparse while remaining contemplative and sincere. Check out this first by one of Nashville's new and promising songwriters.
