Karl Helsted & Gustav - Harmonious Families 5 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Haydn Chamber Ensemble was founded in 2013 by Cornelia Löscher, violin, Luca Monti, piano and Hannes Gradwohl, cello to promote the music of Joseph Haydn and his contemporaries to a broader audience. Committed to their name, the musicians commence their debut CD with the Piano Trio No. 39 in G major, Hob. XV 25 by Haydn. This late work of his is then contrasted by the Piano Trio in E major, K. 542 by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, that he composed at the height of his success in the year 1788 - then being around half the age as InchPapa HaydnInch. Franz Schuberts Piano Trio No. 2 in E-flat major D 929 originated from 1827, just one year before his passing, which ultimately brought the era of the First Viennese School to an end.

FOR FANS OF THIN LIZZY, THE DEAD DAISIES, WHITESNAKE, JOURNEY. Known throughout the music world as a talented solid bass player for bands like Thin Lizzy, Whitesnake, Journey, Ted Nugent and The Dead Daisies to name a few, Marco Mendoza has recorded a body of amazing music in his own right. But when his fourth effort in his own name, InchNew DirectionInch, hits the streets in September this year, it will be a very special beast of it's own. Working with world-class producer Soren Andersen, owner of Medley Studios in Copenhagen, dubbed by some as 'the new Mutt Lange', the partnership that has already produced the career defining InchViva La RockInch 2017 album has created in InchNew DirectionInch another future masterpiece together. As it often happens, demanding times produce special opportunities, and writing and recording amidst a pandemic was a trigger for Mendoza's creativity. With Andersen himself handling guitars and keyboards as a background for Mendoza's top-class bass lines and superb vocals, Tommy Gentry (Gun) stepped in for guest guitar solos in selected tracks, while drumming duties were split between Morten Hellborn (Electric Guitars) and Allan Tschicaja (Pretty Maids). A super-team surrounding Marco. But then again, the bassist/vocalist is used to working with the best of the best, and wouldn't have it any other way in what is clearly the tightest of songs he has ever recorded in his own name.
