Le Cercle Des Compositeurs Dis - Le Cercle Des Compositeurs Dis - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

As the of the complete recordings of Django Reinhardt - the set is a work of reference with albums and booklets totaling 760 pages - Frémeaux & Associés today counts as one of the premier independent producers of gypsy jazz. This genre, as erudite and technical as it is generous and approachable, demonstrates the cultural and musicological richness of the gypsy contribution to western culture. Romane is one of their most eminent representatives and his compositions have become genuine standards. Frémeaux & Associés celebrates the work of this guitarist in a collection covering his entire career as a recording-artist, available to the public as a InchComplete WorksInch set with Père & Fils as it's twelfth volume.

Intimacy, intensity, passion-this album explores the unfamiliar idea that fifteenth-century songs might cause us to sigh, weep, or laugh out loud. In bringing to life a world in which crying in public was not just acceptable but required, we have to take seriously the crushing despair of a line like InchMy only sorrow is that I am not dead,Inch or the undisguised sarcasm of InchThis is how she chopped and cooked me up.Inch In Johannes Ockeghem's roughly two dozen songs we find not only unparalleled compositional prowess, but feelings that range from happiness to loss, anger to despair, and bitterness to merriment. The album's all-vocal, fully texted, close-mic'd performances are rooted in a flexible, full-blooded vocal technique that aims to capture the music's technical brilliance and emotional depth.
