About this product
In 1927, at the time of the first Beethoven centenary, the celebrated French musicologist Saint-Foix drew attention to an anonymous manuscript collection of six quartets that once belonged to the Domenico (III) Artaria and is today preserved at the Berlin State Library. He conjectured that these pieces could be the very first experiments of a young Beethoven, then still an adolescent, in a genre that he would properly inaugurate when he published his op. 18 set in his early thirties. On the strength of this theory, the collection was included in the Beethoven catalogue, though listed among the works of doubtful attribution, where it has remained awaiting further musicological research. With the world premiere recording of the Six Quartets Anh. 2, the Alla Maniera Italiana Quartet brings back to light a precious collection of chamber music that is still enveloped in mystery, in a historically informed performance based on a close study of the Berlin parts, thereby offering an original contribution to the forthcoming Beethoven bicentenary.

SEVENTH DREAM OF TEENAGE HEAVEN is an unashamedly psychedelic adventure, far removed from the dark, angular soundscapes of Bauhaus. Yet they had to fight hard to avoid being branded 'goth', citing Syd Barrett, Marc Bolan and the later period Beatles as primary influences. The Quietus revisited the album on it's 35th anniversary in 2015 and said Inchit's it's own thing, ruined elegance, sculpted beauty, sometimes sharp without being angry, often inspiring without being sappy, able to capture even slow dull moments in an attractive fashion.InchVol Side Track Artist Title Sub-Title 1 1 1 Love And Rockets If There's a Heaven Above 1 1 2 Love And Rockets A Private Future 1 1 3 Love And Rockets The Dog-end of a Day Gone By 1 1 4 Love And Rockets The Game 1 2 1 Love And Rockets Seventh Dream Of Teenage Heaven 1 2 2 Love And Rockets Haunted When the Minutes Drag 1 2 3 Love And Rockets Saudade
