Spanish - and Catalan music in particular - was hugely enriched by the contribution made to it's development in the latter part of the 20th century by Xavier Montsalvatge. Both as a composer and critic, his influence was widespread and his music stylistically broad. Folia daliniana explores elements of fantasy and French-tinged refinement whilst one of his major song cycles, Cinco invocaciones al Crucificado, is a passionately intense meditation on Christ's suffering. Whether rhapsodic or invoking rhythmic or popular dance forms, Montsalvatge's music remains brilliant, clear and individualistic. Album Tracks 1. Madrigal Sobre Un Tema Popular - Various Performers 2. Cinco Invocaciones Al Crucificado - Various Performers 3. Folia Daliniana - Tim Fain/Perspectives Ensemble 4. Concertino 1+13 - Tim Fain/Perspectives Ensemble 5. Serenata a Lydia de Cadaqués - Tim Fain/Perspectives Ensemble
![Bach ,J.S. / Korber / Hauk - Magnificat in D Major 243 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/bc1291fb-9ac4-4d5b-8cd4-e6f61b8e3a8e.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Shortly after taking up the position of Thomaskantor in Leipzig in 1723, Bach wrote a Magnificat in E flat major for performance at Christmas. Around a decade later he revised the work, transposing it down to D major and making it more concise. Utilizing a Biblical text, the piece is suffused with a series of memorable arias and choruses and orchestrated with spectacular grandeur. Lumen is a contemporary musical dialogue that urges empathy between the three Abrahamic religions. Translating the oratorio form into a 'unity of diversity,' Robert M. Helmschrott has converted the poetry of the Old and New Testaments, the Torah and Qur'an into an interfaith 'language of sounds and singing.' Album Tracks 1. Magnificat in D Major, BWV 243 2. Lumen
