About this product
Heard here in it's world premiere recording, The Parting is a daring opera by award-winning composer Tom Cipullo and librettist David Mason that explores the life and art of Miklos Radnoti, one of the most important poetic witnesses to the Holocaust, and one of it's tragic victims. Radnoti's poems express emotions from love and enchantment to absolute loss, and The Parting includes texts found in his jacket pocket after his death. This opera is a profound meditation on what it is about art that outlives us, that enables us to be creative even in the face of unimaginable adversity, and reminds us to guard against hatred and to celebrate what makes us human. Music of Remembrance (MOR) is a non-profit organization founded in 1998 by artistic director Mina Miller to remember the Holocaust through music. Along with it's large and varied repertoire of Holocaust-era music, MOR commissions and premieres new works by some of today's leading composers, building bridges across generations and sharing stories that underline the Holocaust's urgent relevance for us now. The Parting is among the more than 30 new works that MOR has commissioned in it's first two decades, including chamber music, song, oratorio, opera, ballet and film score. MOR's mission is not religious, nor is it's scope limited to Jewish music or experience.

Double vinyl LP pressing. Pretty Sick's debut album, Makes Me Sick Makes Me Smile, was produced by indie rock legend Paul Q. Kolderie (Pixies, Hole, Radiohead, Dinosaur Jr.). Across these 12 tracks, vocalist and bassist Sabrina Fuentes grapples with her claustrophobic surroundings and the idea that the environment you exist in can be a matter of life and death.

The instrumentation indications printed on the scores of 18th century violin sonatas were numerous and varied. However, the renewal of baroque performance over recent decades has imposed the uniformity of a continuo bass played on harpsichord and cello, despite the celebrated 'o' of Corelli and many of his pupils in violoncello o cembalo. Though the use of the harpsichord is not to be called into question, other practices were common, particularly in the case of the violin sonatas. And it was unquestionably Tartini and his contemporaries who pushed a new practice to the forefront from the 1740s onwards to perform the music of these great violinists-composers with an accompaniment of solo cello, which, far from being incidental, has a major role in the score. Other works of this programme render justice to the cello as a solo instrument, fully equal to the violin, with the first veritable duets for both instruments, something very much in vogue in the classical period. This musical itinerary of duets and sonatas for violin and cello offers a new experience, one that is varied and fascinating, with works of great beauty. Yet David Plantier and Annabelle Luis also show us a new sound image the fullness of only two instruments of the same family is surprising, whilst the infinite colours and the uncommon pliability presented by this combination reveal unforgettable moments of music.
