Kathy Kosins - Vintage - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In this recording, you will find a dialogue between two of the most essential funerary musical works of the German Baroque. In 2022, we celebrated Heinrich Schütz, a central figure of the album, on the 350th anniversary of his death. As a culmination of a series of projects around his person and work, this recording wants to serve as a tribute to an extraordinary musical legacy that found in Johann Sebastian Bach, it's greatest supporter. The manifest bond between both composers here is seen in the way in which death is shaken and beaten for later, collected from within our soul, be restored and sublimated by two artistic personalities capable of transcending a rich amalgamation of religious, cultural, and musical aspects around the ars moriendi of his time. Schütz's Musikalische Exequien and Bach's Actus Tragicus stem from a creative attitude toward death that is very close to home one from the other. Thus, it is not by chance that with their listening, both works fill us with peace and the deep sense of rest with which they do it.

Her unforgettable chart-topper Wheel of Fortune (#1 for 10 weeks in 1952) joins similarly jazz-influenced fare here, including Side by Side; the Man Upstairs; So Tired; I'll Never Be Free; Lazy River; It's the Talk of the Town, and more.
