Lgt Young Soloists - Beethoven Recomposed - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Despite his tragically short life, Nikos Skalkottas has now become recognized as one of the most important Greek composers of the 20th century. The modernist style of his earlier period is balanced by the four important mature neoclassical works presented here. Both the Sinfonietta and the Classical Symphony are expressions of the deep regard Skalkottas had for traditional forms blended with his unique musical language. Skalkottas was a violinist with the Athens State Orchestra, who are honoring his memory with this and future recordings of his works.

Airat Ichmouratov's Concerto Grosso No. 3 subtitled 'Liechtenstein' is a world premiere recording and was composed specifically for Alexander Gilman and the LGT Young Soloists, one of the world's most successful touring youth orchestras. Mahler's arrangement of Schubert's Death and the Maiden string quartet expands it into a grand orchestral spectacle.

Third Man Records is excited to announce Southeast Of Saturn Vol. 2, to be released December 2, 2022. The compilation is a follow up to 2020's Southeast of Saturn, a collection of music from Detroit's space-rock/shoegaze/dream pop scene of the '90s. The second volume expands upon the Michigan-centric aural delights purveyed on Vol. 1, by including groups from throughout the Midwest. Highlighting groups spanning Michigan, Ohio, Illinois, Indiana, Wisconsin, and Minnesota. Vol. 2 works to cement the Midwest's status as a breeding ground for the space-rock and shoegaze subgenres, which more famously burgeoned in the UK. Southeast of Saturn Vol 2 - Pitch Details.
