About this product
The history of world music knows many examples of revival from non-existence and of rediscovery of both compositional legacy and names of composers themselves. Such phenomena also include the output and figure of Giedymin Prosper Rodkiewicz. Until recently, Rodkiewicz was not widely known to musicologists or music lovers, and yet he was an outstanding composer, and his oeuvre survived thanks to a fortunate coincidence. The composer's oeuvre, comprising around 75 pieces, is devoted entirely to piano and is particularly rich in miniatures. This output, as evidenced by the dedications on the pages of Rodkiewicz's works, reflects, like in a mirror, the world of the wealthy landed gentry who filled artistic salons, so popular in the 19th century. Likewise, the genres favored by the composer reflect the existence of the upper echelons of the society of his era. All the pieces presented on the album are discographic premieres. Their arrangement can be considered symbolic the gallery of the composer's opuses opens with Waltz No. 2 in D flat major, Op. 24 and ends with Waltz No. 3 in A flat major, Op. 33. Undoubtedly, Giedymin Rodkiewicz could not fail to pay due tribute to this genre, which so definitely established it's position in the 19th century Europe.

One of Saxony-Anhalt's oldest and most tradition-rich orchestras presents a compelling combination of two major orchestral works on GENUIN, marking the 100th anniversary of the Bauhaus's relocation from Weimar to Dessau the Anhaltische Philharmonie of the Bauhaus city Dessau, under it's general music director Markus L. Frank, pairs Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition (in Ravel's orchestration) with Feininger Fractals by Eisenach-born composer Thomas Buchholz (b. 1961) - two orchestral works closely connected to visual art. The finely spun textures of Buchholz, who in this work engages with Bauhaus master Lyonel Feininger, and the endless colors of Mussorgsky/Ravel are in the best hands with this Dessau ensemble. Magnificent but not pompous, virtuosic yet full of meaning, the orchestra plays with intelligence and nuance under it's chief conductor.

Jewels from five centuries aptly describes this collection, featuring small pieces of great music, that the a cappella group Octavians presents on their new GENUIN album canzones, motets, folk songs, and pop songs to which the winners of the 2017 A Cappella Contest Leipzig give their own unique coloring. The spectrum ranges from an old Spanish hymn of praise to motherly love to lieder by Franz Schubert and celebrated songs of our time by Paul Simon and Sting. The charm exuded by the internationally successful gentlemen is fully the match of their vocal skills a uniform sound, infectious groove, and sparkling clean intonation are the hallmarks of the Octavians - truly a Inchdeluxe boy bandInch!
