Paola Erdas - Keyboard Works in Manuscript - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Antonio Soler enjoyed high prestige at Spain's royal palace, the Escorial, where his contributions to keyboard technique, harmonic innovation and his Spanish musical identity served to bridge the stylistic gap between the late Baroque and early Classicism. Soler's innovations have often been overlooked but the intricate modulations and rhythmic vitality found in his sonatas offer compelling evidence of their importance. Sonatas Nos. 99-111 offer a wealth of entrancing features, which include sophisticated ornamentation, a synthesis of contrapuntal and Iberian folkloric traditions, and humorous cadences.

More than any young American rock band, Kills Birds approach their songs with an intensity that's so tangible it feels like the stakes are near life and death. Fronted by Nina Ljeti, a Bosnian-Canadian filmmaker the Los Angeles Times called InchL.A.'s most electrifying new rock singer,Inch their performances are visceral and cathartic, with guitarist Jacob Loeb's blistering riffs and Fielder Thomas' pummeling basslines. While 2019's Kills Birds was a debut that captured the promise of their grunge-inspired sound and Ljeti's unflinching lyrics, Married, their follow-up is a triumphant representation of everything that makes them so thrilling. It's a document of a band pushing their musical chemistry to new heights. Album Tracks 1. Rabbit 2. Cough Up Cherries 3. Natalie 4. Glisten 5. Reasoning 6. Offside 7. Woman 8. PTL 9. Good Planning 10. Wallowing 11. Married

Antonio Valente, blind Neapolitan. This is how the composer, an adopted Neapolitan, signed his name in his fundamental Intavolatura de Cimbalo of 1576, the first book dedicated exclusively to harpsichord and composed with the special and complex musical notation invented by the composer. Celebrated in his time and esteemed throughout the subsequent centuries, Valente has been unfortunately neglected in our time. An author of contrasts, his music transmits both cultured and refined writing, in addition to containing an everyman quality; his exquisite flavor infuses wisdom and affability with enchantment and seduction. On this album recorded on two invaluable instruments from the 16th century, the music of Valente is surrounded by compositions of contemporary Spanish realm composers, recreating the musical ambience of sumptuous Spanish Naples. The program closes with a piece from a musician that best represents the continuation of the Valente's style, glorifying the magnificent and exuberant early baroque Sir Carlo Gesualdo of Venosa with the Canzon Francese del Principe.
