About this product
In THE EARLY MUSIC LOG fra bernardo presents milestones in the interpretation of music from earlier centuries. In 1954, music history was written in Vienna. Behind the high altar of the Franciscan Church, a crowd of young musicians gathered in front of the city's oldest organ with harpsichordist and organist Gustav Leonhardt to record sacred music by Johann Sebastian Bach with countertenor Alfred Deller. According to Leonhardt's revolutionary idea and research, it was not to be an orchestra accompanying the singing star, but a new ensemble with soloists. So the Leonhardt Baroque Ensemble brought together young committed musician friends who played on period instruments. Today, the list of performers reads like a Who's Who of early music Gustav Leonhardt played the historic Wöckherl organ, Nikolaus Harnoncourt the cello, Eduard Melkus and Marie Leonhardt violins and Harnoncourt's later wife Alice Hoffelner viola. This exemplary recording is complemented by the premiere recording of the 4th Brandenburg Concerto on period instruments conducted by Josef Mertin, the doyen of early music in Vienna from the Bach year 1950.

![Igor Stravinsky - Late Music: Sensual Musical Radicalism - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/72331481-5d82-4464-933c-4b17868a87b9.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
4CD box set of the radical later music of Igor Stravinsky. In 1944 Stravinsky met 20-year old music student Robert Craft, forging a deep friendship and creative partnership that would prove to be decisive in determining the composer's musical direction. With his career at an impasse, Craft encouraged Stravinsky to re- evaluate the possibilities of 12-tone writing; introducing him to works by Schoenberg and Webern and to a generation of young composers with which he was scarcely familiar.

![Mosaic - Old Mans Wyntar - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/a6d99018-7092-4fe2-ae5f-19bad1f4bb5c.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Deluxe hardcover CD edition. An homage to Winter in conception, an explosion of expressions in perception, Old Man's Wyntar is an astonishing masterpiece of soundscaping. It's highly complex structure takes the listener onto a many-faceted journey into the deepest realms of ice, snow and darkness. With a unique mix of Black Metal, Avant-garde, Neo-folk, ambient, Neue Deutsche Todeskunst and many other elements and influences, it lures the mind and beckons to venture beyond the borders of it's usual conversance. The course of the EP is shapeshifting between incantation, melancholy, desperation, fierce bitterness, harsh coldness and enticing tranquility. It's frostbitten, sharp sound entwines and channels the lyrical concept and musical fabric in towering manner toward the ecstasy of white, hostile solitude. Old Man's Wyntar's grave repercussions echo forth a long time after it's last note has died away; it's hard-to-grab multidimensionality and eerie temptation inflict succumbing to revisitating the ephemeral spheres this record conjures. This very special, extended version finally turns the EP into the treat of a Full-Length. Enhanced with an additional chapter, the total playing time advanced to an incredible 74 minutes of allurement that will see the last unfrozen souls enchanted. Complete with a thick A5 book, reworked and extended artwork and booklet, as well as full English translations of all lyrics for the first time ever. Album Tracks 1. Incipit Geherre 2. Onset of Wyntar 3. Im Winter 4. Chapter II Zoubar & Tunkalheyt 5. [Engl. Magic & Darkness] 6. Snowscape 7. White Gloom 8. Black Glimmer 9. Chapter III Vröudenhüge & Rouchnaht 10. [Engl Joyful Reminiscence & the Sacred Nights] 11. Silent World, Holy Awe 12. Vom Ersten Schnee (Bonus Material) 13. Silver Nights (Bonus Material)
