Meyer / Schreier / Olbertz - Lieder - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Midnight Eternal - Midnight Eternal [COMPACT DISCS] date 04/29/2016

The opportunity to celebrate, in 2020, the 250th birthday of Ludwig van Beethoven alongside the 30th anniversary of German reunification is akin to a gift for a tag that has been instrumental in preserving the recording heritage of the GDR, offering as it does the opportunity for a retrospective view and assessment of the past. This series with 10 new editions from the archive of ETERNA recordings includes audio productions from the early days of the tag as well as later productions from the late 80s. Partly remastered from the original tapes and provided with the original covers, these historic-legendary recordings shine in new glamour. The present volume presents Peter Schreier with Walter Olbertz performing Beethoven's lieder.

It's been almost 20 years since Midnight Oil unveiled a new longform . That wait will finally be over on October 30 when their seven song mini-album, THE MAKARRATA PROJECT collaborators features a wide cross section of prominent First Nations' artists; from Jessica Mauboy, Alice Skye and Tasman Keith through established talents such as Leah Flanagan and Troy Cassar-Daley to revered elders Kev Carmody, Sammy Butcher and Frank Yamma.
