Sanguinazzo / Dietmar Berger - Dilettante Di Violoncello - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Konrad Junghonel and Cantus Colln are featured here in a recording of music by Heinrich Ignaz Franz von Biber and Johann Caspar Kerll. Biber's Vespro della Beata Vergine is not a single work, but rather a collection of composition assembled to form a liturgical service. It includes works from Biber's anthology of psalm settings entitled Vesperae Longiores ac Breviores and brief sonatas and solo motets are performed in place of the introductory antiphons. Kerll's Missa in fletu solatium was likely composed in celebration of the victory at the great Battle at Kahlenberg. His somewhat gloomy mass exhibits astonishing compositional artistry.

The Fantasies pour le Basse de Violle - discovered in 2015 - are part of those bundles titled InchFantasieInch and written for different solo instruments. Starting from the original score for the viola da gamba, the same interpreter, Dietmar Berger, created this version for the cello. The transposition from the viola da gamba to the cello should not be surprising although they do not belong to the same family, the bounds between them are strong and they marked an entire epoch. In a surprising fact, Telemann dedicated a bundle for an instrument that was no longer in fashion in 1735. The audience and the instrumentalists turned to cello, whereas the viola da gamba belonged to a past time. Yet, J.S. Bach composed the famous Partitas for cello solo and it seemed that his first thought was to dedicate them to the Viola da Gamba! Thus, this recording provides a further stimulus to research the analogies and differences between Bach and Telemann.

Limited double 180gm vinyl LP pressing in gatefold jacket. Includes . 2018 from the former Kinks singer/songwriter. This is the follow-up to his 2017 LP Americana. According to Davies, Our Country Americana Act II Inchfollows my journey across America; through endless tours not just to reclaim the Kinks' career, but to rediscover the country that offered me my earliest inspirations,Inch Our Country Americana Act II was preceded by it's first single and opening track InchOur Country,Inch a rootsy rocker about Davies' conflicted relationship with America. InchThis is my country/And I can't believe/That one day I'd want to leave these shores forever,Inch Davies sings on the chorus. InchThe book [Americana] has got some song references in it and the songs are part of the narrative, so the trick was to get the record to stand up as a record as well as being part of a series,Inch Davies says. InchI think people that like the first album understand where it's going. [Our Country] is what happens when you get there.Inch
