Nina Proll - Lieder Eines Armen Madchens - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Chime School is the project of San Francisco musician Andy Pastalaniec. Endlessly charmed by 80s indie and it's 60s forbearers (and any record with a 12-string guitar), Andy cut his teeth as a drummer with SLR labelmate Odd Hope in their early group Pink Films; later with shoegazers Cruel Summer, and currently with indiepop outfit Seablite. But it wasn't until he was gifted a cassette 4-track portastudio Inchalmost as a dare,Inch that he came out from behind the kit to write and record his own material.Aptly named for it's autodidact roots, Chime School pays homage to the formative jangle of The Byrds by way of early Primal Scream and The Springfields; the production and pop sensibility of the Biff Bang Pow and The Razorcuts; and the spirit of great singles labels like Creation, Postcard and Sarah. From the dreamy album opener InchWait Your TurnInch to the driving jangle of InchDead SaturdaysInch and the rich, epic InchGone Too FastInch we can see that we're in the presence of a very talented writer indeed, someone with a lifetime's worth of pop fandom just waiting to burst out in song.1.

Franz Josef Aumann received his musical training as a choirboy in Vienna, together with Michael Haydn and Johann Georg Albrechtsberger. At the age of 25, he joined St Florian's Abbey, where he took over the choir just two years later and then directed the church music for over four decades. His church music was performed in St Florian's well into the 19th century and Anton Bruckner, who worked there for seven years as the monastery organist, greatly appreciated his works. His great Mass in C is a true 'Missa solemnis' with a magnificent orchestration of oboes, trumpets and timpani and a performance time of over 40 minutes, probably intended for special holidays. Aumann's instrumental music often has a 'twinkle in the eye' alongside virtuoso and ornate passages, the folk music of the region always shines through. This is clearly noticeable in the Cassatio 'La Pastorale', a pastoral piece for four strings and natural horn. It was performed at Schlagl Abbey at Christmas time in 1777 and must have created an exuberant, almost boisterous atmosphere.
