About this product
Having grown up both singing and playing the piano, Rachel Fenlon never understood why a musician couldn't combine both. But it took a decade to gain the courage to sing and accompany herself on the piano publicly for the first time, in Toronto with an all-Schubert recital. This performance ignited a spark in Fenlon, and revealed to her a true path in music.Over the past ten years, Fenlon has nurtured that spark despite many doubting it was possible, exploring various repertoire and performing globally at festivals and concert halls while becoming a firm believer that music will always offer itself to those who find their way to it.When considering her first recording Schubert was the obvious choice, though deciding which piece was challenging. During the pandemic in winter 2020, Fenlon began studying InchWinterreiseInch while living alone near a forest outside Berlin and often going days or weeks without seeing anyone. The work resonated deeply with her feelings of loneliness and solitude, and over two years she meticulously learned the piece, often reflecting on the text while walking in the forest to connect with the music.In summer 2022, Fenlon performed InchWinterreiseInch for the first time in Berlin and continued throughout the festival season, the profound connection she felt with the work solidifying her decision to record it.Says Fenlon, 'I have never found, nor lost myself so much in a work as I have in Winterreise. To share my interpretation of this great work, and to add to the enormous canon of recordings, from the perspective of a singer sitting at the piano and accompanying myself, is the greatest gift I could ask for.'

Winterreise, or Winter's Journey was composed in 1827, just a year before Schubert's premature death. The song cycle contains some of his greatest music - by turn highly emotional, desolate and spare, and with a sense of alienation and loss that makes the listener shudder even after repeated hearings. Schubert was especially proud of these songs, writing to his friend and fellow composer Josef von Spaun 'I will sing you a cycle of eerie songs. I am keen to see what you will make of them. They have affected me more than any other songs'. The reaction of von Spaun and those gathered to hear the first performance was one of shock. The gloom and desolation of the landscape the traveler sings of, recounting happier days in the summer of love, now love lost, the bare trees, the snow, the dogs chasing him out of the village, the crows in the trees, the organ grinder playing his haunting tune in a swirl of snow left them perplexed. Schubert's sound world here is not far removed from Mahler's Kindertotenlieder some 80 years later. If he had lived beyond his 31 years the mind boggles at what he would have produced. Winterreise stands supreme in the world of song as the greatest collection of songs ever written.
Double vinyl LP pressing. GÉNESIS is a work that explores a catwalk of artistic and conceptual capabilities of the corrido in 2023; just at the moment when Peso Pluma has all eyes on him. A snapshot of the present of Mexican music at it's best commercial and artistic moment. - The name of the album is the beginning of a new era. Creating a new origin, after one of the most impressive strings of single hits, feels like a declaration of principles. Presenting a project that shows his artistry, in GÉNESIS we get to know Pluma in his rawest state. GÉNESIS, his third studio album, is a clear attempt to portray an artist more concerned with the longevity and legacy of his work than with specific or momentary hits. The menu is served with 14 tracks in a row in different forms, from the most romantic to the most warlike and back again. InchWe are very happy to globalize Mexican music and the music we grew up with. InchThat has always been the goal, the same objective to expand what we like to do, the type of music we listen to, and take it to all parts of the world,Inch Hassan states. Once the world's ears have been opened to Mexican music, the man from Guadalajara wants to emphasize the idea that his work is not regional, but universal. The requinto and the bajoloche are now part of the international basic basket of music thanks to him and the fruitful crop of national performers such as Natanael Cano or Junior H.
