Jack Liebeck - Laurence: The Music of Frederick Laurence - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

A cinema project for the Insula orchestra conducted by Laurence Equilbey, 'Musiques de Cinéma' showcases classical music masterpieces by Bach, Vivaldi, Mozart, Purcell, Handel, and others. These iconic pieces have been featured in films such as Stanley Kubrick's 'Barry Lyndon' and 'A Clockwork Orange', Wes Anderson's 'Moonrise Kingdom', David Fincher's 'The Social Network' and 'Seven', and Martin Scorsese's 'The Wolf of Wall Street...'

Nowadays Krzysztof Meyer is considered one of the greatest Polish composers. Initially, he pursued an education as a pianist, but his subsequent contacts with Krzysztof Penderecki and Stanislaw Wiechowicz contributed to the fact that Meyer quickly revealed his compositional talent to the global audience. The artist has succumbed to many musical fascinations, which is why his works often combine the influences of various composing techniques. This album is another project signed by DUX, familiarizing music lovers with the colorful work of Meyer. The album contains two vocal and instrumental compositions Songs of the Lonely Dreamer and the Symphony No. 8 Sinfonia da requiem inspired by crimes against the Jewish nation. Both pieces, concerning diametrically distant themes, perfectly illustrate the composer's ability to flexibly adapt the musical language and applied composing techniques to overtones and themes of vocal and instrumental works.
