Jenny Oaks Baker - The Redeemer - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This classical masterpiece is a glorious celebration of the pivotal moments in Jesus Christ's life.The original The Redeemer album was released in 2022. It began as a ten-song album for violin, orchestra, and choir. After performing the music live, Grammy-nominated violinist Jenny Oaks Baker and her longtime collaborator, Emmy-award winning composer, arranger and producer, Kurt Bestor, felt inspired to expand the project to highlight the most pivotal episodes of the Savior's life. They chose either beloved hymns or original melodies to highlight each of these episodes, taking it from 10 tracks to 19 tracks and 78 minutes of music.For this Deluxe Edition, Kurt composed eight additional movements to highlight more of the Savior's life and mission (including a gorgeous original baptism movement and a gloriously rearranged Hallelujah Chorus movement to represent the Ascension). His masterful work brings together the perfect elements of additional choir, vocal soloist parts, and orchestra additions, to maximize the production's emotional impact.The album features inspired brilliant reworkings of three classical masterpieces-Gounod's InchO Divine RedeemerInch and two selections from Handel's Messiah. Kurt also created emotional and stunning new original compositions for this edition including InchGethsemane From Every PoreInch and InchSpirit World In Paradiso.Inch Jenny's words sum up her desire in creating this project; InchI hope that this Deluxe Edition brings everyone who experiences it closer to the Savior.Inch

Taken from Lil' Kim's 2003 album La Bella Mafia. Thug Luv features the rapper Twista.

Jenny Oaks Baker returns with this tour de force of popular themes from the silver screen. Jenny often gravitates toward songs that have a timeless quality this album is no exception. She has carefully chosen songs with beloved melodies that lend themselves to a larger-than-life production style. Her Juilliardtrained, highly skilled approach to the violin shines on InchAcross the StarsInch from Star Wars Attack of the Clones, and her deep musicality comes through on the haunting tune InchIn DreamsInch from The Lord of the Rings. She also stays true to her spiritual roots on classics InchA Mighty Fortress Is Our GodInch and InchChariots of FireInch, which celebrate the faith that underpins her career. InchWith great pleasure I was able to listen to this beautiful latest work by the prestigious violinist Jenny Oaks Baker. I have known this amazing artist for a few years and I always follow her performances when I can. I've always had the same vibrant impression she plays the violin from the bottom of her soul. Her bow, running on the strings of her violin, alternates moments of great sweetness with moments of deep emotion. I really like how Jenny draws her musical phrases, how she wanted to recite a poem with her violin. This new CD confirms Jenny's great musical skills, in which the clear romantic lessons of great composers such as Mendelssohn and the sincere and melodic lightness of modern times shine through. I strongly recommend that you listen to this beautiful, uplifting, and intense work.Inch - Nicolas Giusti (award-winning conductor Placido Domingo, June Anderson, Rockwell Blacke etc..)
