About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Classical
- Description: The surviving work of a mystery composer fromthe late French Baroque, in a new recording by ahighly accomplished young early-musickeyboardist.Nothing is known of Le Bret beyond the volume ofkeyboard pieces reproduced here, which analysisof both musical style and ancillary details hasdated to the 1730s or 1740s. Whoever he was, LeBret was clearly inspired by François Couperin andJean-Philippe Rameau, and his style is comparableto that of the harpsichordists who followed intheir footsteps between 1720 and 1740, such asJean-François Dandrieu, François d'Agincourt,Joseph Bodin de Boismortier, Bernard de Bury andJacques Duphly in his first two books.Like them, Le Bret alternates dances and characterpieces. On the other hand, he makes noconcessions to the taste for pastoral and countrymusic, does not seem influenced by opera music,and does not overdo descriptive effectsand virtuosity. All in all, Le Bret remainsfaithful to the subtle and poetic languageof the harpsichord; as he says in hispreface, he has 'always endeavored incomposing them to adorn them with themost graceful songs, knowing from ourmost illustrious masters that this is thebeauty of this instrument.' As Simone ElOufir Pierini observes in his booklet essayfor this album, one evident example of LeBret's knowledge of 'our most illustriousmasters' arises in the piece titledL'Embarassante, a stylish homage to LesCyclopes by Rameau.Born in Rome in 1996, Simone El OufirPierini studied piano at the conservatoireof the Accademia Nazionale di SantaCecilia. Developing a particular interest inhistorically informed piano practice, heattended masterclasses led by Alexei Lubimovand Andreas Staier, before undertakingspecialised study of harpsichord and bassocontinuo with such teachers as Andrea Coen andGiovanni Togni. He has made several wellreceived albums for Brilliant Classics, both soloand with colleagues.

Around the Fur the follow-up to Deftones' passionate, aggressive Adrenaline, sees the California quartet expanding on the sheer rage of their earlier work, adding new, more sinister shades to their already extreme sound. The opening InchMy Own Summer (Shove It),Inch serves as an introduction to the album's sonic theme sinewy guitars and eerie whispers alternate with fast, violent crunch. Sepultura's Max Cavallero contributes guitar and vocals to InchHeadup,Inch while InchMXInch finds singer Chino trading off vocal lines with Annalynn Cunningham, (wife of Deftones' drummer Abe) in an acerbic take on the rock star mentality. Vocal acrobat Moreno attacks a variety of styles his breathy, psychotic recitations sound downright industrial, while the album's calmer, more brooding moments show his gift for haunting melody. Behind him, guitarist Stephen Carpenter's heavy wall of sound is astoundingly muscular, yet inspiringly agile. When Deftones' hellish fury hits full tilt, as it always does on this album, Moreno's voice erupts into screams which are best described as otherworldly, transforming this intense musical firestorm into a hurtling juggernaut of aggression. This LP version comes pressed on 180 gram vinyl. Album Tracks 1. My Own Summer (Shove It) 2. Lhabia 3. Mascara 4. Around the Fur 5. Rickets 6. Be Quiet and Drive (Far Away) 7. Lotion 8.

The album, and the character of Ziggy Stardust, was known for it's glam rock influences and themes of sexual exploration and social commentary. These factors, coupled with the ambiguity surrounding Bowie's sexuality and fuelled by a ground-breaking performance of InchStarmanInch on Top of the Pops led to the album being met with controversy and since hailed as a seminal work.
