Leah Martin-Brown - Love & Other Crimes - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This 5-song Celtic-metal masterpiece from Canadian artist Leah takes you from the stormy shores of an ancient era.. to fantasy landscapes.. to the battlefield of love and loss. Cinematic character vocals from metal god Eric Peterson (Testament/Dragonlord) leave you electrified in his wake with an 'echo's breath, a romance death!; Otherworld is where the ethereal and the brutal collide.

This is a remastering of a concert given by the Quatuor Diotima at the Fundación Juan March on 27 April 2022. It features the world premiere recordings of String Quartets Nos. 3 and 5 (six-movement version) by Conrado del Campo (1878-1953), one of the most original but least well-known Spanish composers of the first half of the twentieth century. The concert was part of the Proyecto Conrado, which involves programming the first complete cycle of his thirteen string quartets. This will go hand in hand with the publication of a complete edition of the scores, most of which have never been published, and the of recordings of the quartets (in various formats). The aim of this ambitious initiative is to rescue a significant body of works from the undeserved neglect into which it has fallen.

The debut, Of Earth & Angels, takes the listener on a colorful and relaxed trip to a mysterious past filled with passionate love tales, mystical legends, and some spiritual passages. From slightly Oriental tunes like the opener InchPrisonerInch (which sounds like Edenbridge), joyous Celtic rock anthems like InchOld WorldInch, (which could appeal to fans of Gwyllion), and on to more symphonic ballads like InchEx CathedraInch, this album develops a very enchanting atmosphere.
