Semperconsort - Trio Sonatas Op. 1 - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: The only available complete recording; newly made by a stylish Italian early-music ensemble; of a landmark collection of Baroque chamber music. Antonio Veracini (1659-1733) was the uncle and teacher of his more famous nephew; the composer and violinist Francesco Maria Veracini (1690-1768); and one of the most important violin sonata composers of the generation that included Corelli and Torelli. His innovative music forms the bridge between the styles of Vitali; Bononcini and Stradella on the one hand; and the post-Baroque fashions of his nephew and of Tartini and Locatelli on the other. Even while working outside the patronage of the Medici family; Veracini played a central role in the civic musical life of Florence during the later 17th and early 18th centuries. Trained from childhood as a violinist; he wrote mostly with his own instrument in mind; and doubtless with a view to impressing noble audiences with his skill and virtuosic style. He must have succeeded; because he also became an owner of many superb violins and a dealer in their trade. Veracini's Opus 1 collection was published in 1692 and dedicated to his patroness; the Grand Duchess Vittoria. It consists of ten 'church sonatas' of the newer sort exemplified by Vitali's op.9 collection published two years later; though Veracini's style is also comparable with Corelli's church sonatas published during the 1680s. Most of the sonatas have two extended quick movements; each preceded by a slower and gravely expressive introduction. Dance rhythms infuse the finales with momentum; and Veracini is fond of trumpet-like fanfares and echo effects. These ten sonatas made a tremendous impression on Veracini's fellow composers at the time; and it is a wonder that they have only been recorded in selected form until now. The complete collection abounds in high-spirited diversity; especially in these recordings made by an e

Recording sessions took place between December 1978 and June 1979 at Allen Zentz Recording, Westlake Recording Studios, and Cherokee Studios in Los Angeles, California. Jackson collaborated with a number of other writers and performers such as Paul McCartney, Stevie Wonder and Rod Temperton. Five singles were released from the album.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Thriller is the sixth solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released by Epic Records on November 30, 1982, as the follow-up to Jackson's critically and commercially successful 1979 album Off The Wall. Thriller explores similar genres to those of Off The Wall, including pop, post-disco, rock and funk. Recording sessions took place on April to November 1982 at Westlake Recording Studios in Los Angeles with a production budget of $750, 000, assisted by producer Quincy Jones. Seven singles were released from the album, all of which reached the Top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100. In just over a year, Thriller became-and currently remains-the best-selling album of all time, with estimated sales of 65 million copies worldwide. It has become the first album ever to be certified 32 times multi-platinum for U.S. sales, marking more than 32 million sales shipped.

Limited vinyl LP repressing in gatefold jacket. Bad is the seventh solo studio album by Michael Jackson. It was released on August 31, 1987, nearly five years after Jackson's previous studio album, Thriller. Bad was recorded during the first half of 1987. The lyrical themes on the record relate to media bias, paranoia, racial profiling, romance, self-improvement and world peace. The album is widely regarded as having cemented Jackson's status as one of the most successful artists of the 1980s, as well as enhancing his solo career and being one of the best musical projects of his career. Five of the singles hit #1 in the United States, while a sixth charted within the Top Ten, and a seventh charted within the Top Twenty on the Hot 100. Bad peaked at #1 in thirteen countries and charted within the Top Twenty in other territories. Album Tracks 1. Bad 2. The Way You Make Me Feel 3. Speed Demon 4. Liberian Girl 5. Just Good Friends 1.
