About this product

A recording featuring outstanding late masterpieces Brahms ripe with emotion and ending in a mood of resignation, Reger with his densely meshed yet always transparent last work. The musicians playing together with Sharon Kam in the clarinet quintet bring these songs of farewell to life, illuminating them and allowing them to flow as if in one concerted breath. Heartfelt feeling and transcendence The string quartet has a perfectly balanced, homogeneous constitution and is justly deemed the Inchprime genreInch of chamber music. What happens when it is joined by a clarinet, a wind instrument with quite different registers? The clarinet may come to the fore with an accompaniment, only to make a sudden retreat into the web of voices and provoke a startling change in timbre. The three most significant works for this scoring were written by Mozart, Brahms and Reger, the two latter works indebted to their respective predecessors - a highly instructive sequence. Sharon Kam recorded Mozart's Quintet in 2011 as a pendant to his Concerto with her colleagues Isabelle van Keulen, Ulrike-Anima Mathé, Volker Jacobsen and Gustav Rivinius (Incha brilliantly successful disc of this very desirable coupling, very well recordedInch - Edward Greenfield, Gramophone). She quite deliberately refrained from choosing an existing quartet as her partner, making up a team of soloist friends instead. The result was a true quintet and not a Inch41Inch formation. The harmony was abundant from the start, and so they simply kept making music together - naturally enriching their concert repertoire with Brahms and Reger. The idea of a further recording was irresistible. Both works are quite special, mature pieces Brahms ripe with an emotion he rarely revealed and ending in a mood of resignation, Reger with his densely meshed yet always transparent final work. This is the piece that may well be a surpris

U2 - Songs Of Experience   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]
4.5(2)

Boxed set containing deluxe CD and double colored vinyl LP pressing. 2017 , the 14th studio album from the Irish quartet. Songs of Experience was produced by Jacknife Lee and Ryan Tedder with Steve Lillywhite, Andy Barlow, and Jolyon Thomas. The album is intended to be a companion piece to U2's previous record, Songs of Innocence (2014). Whereas it's predecessor explored the group members' adolescence in Ireland in the 1970s, Songs of Experience thematically is a collection of letters written by lead vocalist Bono to people and places closest to his heart. The personal nature of the lyrics reflects a brush with mortality that he had during the album's recording. Includes the single You're the Best Thing About Me.
