Prado / Scopel - Cartas Celestes 2 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Jose Antonio Rezende de Almeida Prado referred to his vast set of 18 Cartas Celestes as an Inchincredible journey,Inch and the final three were completed just months before his death. Following the luminous Brazilian night skies of No. 13, the poetic references of the final trilogy refer to constellations named after animals, Grecian and Egyptian mythology, and one last homage to a pivotal figure in Brazilian literature. This is the final volume of Aleyson Scopel's world premiere recording of the 15 Cartas Celestes for solo piano. Album Tracks 1. Cartas Celestes No. 13 2. Cartas Celestes No. 16, 'Magic Animals' 3.

Arthur Honegger, one of the greatest twentieth century composers, made an unrivalled contribution to film music during the course of some thirty years, from his scores for Abel Gance’s silent epics La Roue in 1922 and Napoléon in 1926 to his last works of this kind in 1951 – a total of some forty film scores. This recording brings together four scores from the 1930s, beginning with Honegger’s own suite from the music he wrote for Marcel Pagnol’s 1937 film, REGAIN, a homage to Provence and its country people. This is followed by a suite drawn from the music for Pierre Chénal’s 1934 screen dramatisation of Dostoyevsky’s great novel, CRIME ET CHÂTIMENT, and two symphonic movements assembled from the score for LE DÉMON DE L’HIMALAYA of 1935. The recording concludes with the complete score provided by Honegger for Bertold Bartosch’s 1934 animated picture, L’IDÉE. Album Tracks 1. Le Panturle 2. Hiver 3. Printemps 4.
