Flotow - Martha Oder Der Markt Zu Richmond: Ach - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Houston-based ROCO is one of the most innovative, boundary-pushing ensembles performing today, committed to building new connections to audiences, creating new repertoire and embracing new technology. For their debut album, they asked their musicians to pick their favorite pieces from ROCO's repertoire, and what rose to the top were five of the orchestra's then fifty-eight world premiere commissions (now going on seventy-five by the end of the current season). Music includes Karim Al-Zand's haunting 'Visions from Another World,' Reena Esmail's pulsing, unpredictable 'Teen Murti,' Derek Bermel's tender 'Murmurations' (hailed by the San Francisco Chronicle as Inchdelightful and often intriguingInch), Anthony DiLrenzo's whimsical 'Jabberwocky,' and Marcus Maroney's Bartok-inspired 'Concerto for Chamber Orchestra.' ROCO is a professional ensemble that flexes from 1 to 40 players from all over the US and Canada, with guest artists from around the world. Performing intimate concerts in dozens of venues, ROCO's musicians don't just give concerts, they challenge preconceptions, create extraordinary experiences, and foster new relationships with audiences through the language of music.

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this album from the frequent Status Quo collaborator. In 1968 - when the band that had previously been known as The Scorpions, The Spectres and Traffic Jam, became The Status Quo - Bob Young joined as their roadie, tour manager and harmonica player, until he stepped down from this role in 1981. He soon began a songwriting partnership with Quo bassist Alan Lancaster, guitarist Rick Parfitt, but most prolifically with front man Francis Rossi. Spanning almost 50 years, Francis and Bob together wrote many Quo hits, including 'Down Down', 'Caroline' and 'Dirty Water', versions of which are included here. It should come as no surprise that Status Quo, the archetypal British boogie rockers, have a strong affinity for country music. Francis Rossi has always been fond of a lilting melody, an important ingredient in country music. He shares this taste with long-time collaborator Bob Young, who has devised this selection of well-known Status Quo songs, and given them the subtle country treatment he felt they deserved. InchWhen I recorded this album I wasn't trying at all to better the Quo songs. I just wanted to do a few of the songs I'd written, in the way that I wanted.Inch As well as Quo classics 'Claudie', 'Mean Girl' and 'Living On An Island' being given a country re-tread on the original 10 track album, they're now joined by eight bonus tracks, including a take on Charlie Daniels The Devil Went Down To Georgia', plus 'Chicago Blue', 'Just Close Your Eyes' and 'I'll Be Back', produced by Deep Purple's Roger Glover. Bob is joined by some impressive guests, including long-time Young & Moody collaborator, Micky Moody on guitar, Albert Lee, Billy Bremner, B J Cole, Pete Wiltshire, and Quo's Francis Rossi and Rick Parfitt. As an extra treat for Quo fans, the album finishes on a writing session for the band's first number one single, '
