Magma - Kobaia - VINYL LP

C. Gounod - Faust [COMPACT DISCS] date 05/26/2009

K.A (Kohntarkosz Anteria) is the ninth studio album by French rock band Magma. The album was Magma's first full-length studio in just under 20 years. The material was largely composed by drummer Christian Vander in 1973-74, and fragments of it can be heard on Magma's 1977 live album Inedits. K.A is sung almost entirely in Magma's constructed language Kobaian. This album is part of the Kohntarkosz cycle of albums. Christian Vander revisited an old unrecorded composition and gave it a very succesfull modern-day reinterpretation Introducing a new group sound that blends the vintage 'Da Zeuhl' elements from Magma's Kohntarkosz-era material and the engrossing cosmic jazz and massed vocals of Vander's later group, Offering. The lineup featured here is very similar to the one appearing on the 2001 live CD and DVD Theusz Hamtaakh La Trilogie au Trianon. The album is a must-have for die-hard fans and newcomers alike. K.A. is now available as a remastered 2LP in a gatefold sleeve. The record is cut at 45rpm for the ultimate audio experience.* 180 GRAM AUDIOPHILE VINYL * GATEFOLD SLEEVE * REMASTERED AND CUT AT 45RPM FOR THE ULTIMATE AUDIO EXPERIENCETrack listing SIDE A1.

For her debut concerto album, violinist Veronika Eberle revisits a work that has endured more than two centuries, and shares a fresh interpretation featuring new cadenzas by composer Jörg Widmann. InchMay listeners hear the Violin Concerto-in all it's stark radicalism, it's brazen beauty and it's love of experimentation-in a new way with these cadenzas as contemporary music of today.Inch (Jörg Widmann) Not only is Beethoven's Violin Concerto a particular favorite of Veronika, it has been central to her career to date-most notably alongside Sir Simon Rattle, who has been Veronika's long-time supporter and collaborator. When she was just 16, Sir Simon introduced her at the 2006 Salzburg Easter Festival, where she performed this very concerto to a packed Salzburg Festpielhaus. On this album, the pair reunite to bring this sublime masterpiece to life, and to celebrate the work that first brought Veronika to international attention.
