About this product
Barbara Strozzi was an Italian singer and composer in the 1600s. Period vocal and instrumental ensemble Cecilia's Circle has performed this music for three decades. These are passionate, evocative songs, which are receiving here a worthy revival. Cecilia's Circle has been committed since it's inception in 1991 to bringing new life to the long-buried brilliance of many women composers, and to finding meaningful, elevating ways of integrating their works into today's concert repertoire. Beyond this pursuit, Cecilia's Circle (named for the Patron Saint of Music who is celebrated especially in the exultant odes of Henry Purcell and G.F. Handel) has turned it's attention frequently to the dramatic depiction of female figures found in works of renowned male composers of the Baroque era. Indeed, many of these probing portraits offer us as bold an insight into, and as vivid an image of women throughout the centuries as if the women portrayed had composed their own musical renderings. In this sense, the circle is one of inclusion, one of exploring and celebrating the roles of women across the musical languages of earlier eras.

Oscar™ Cinema' might be a suitable alternative title for the new album with which the strings of the Santa Cecilia Academy under the direction of Luigi Piovano - principal cellist of the Orchestra dell'Accademia Nazionale di Santa Cecilia and much admired conductor - begin their collaboration with Arcana, after two recordings for Eloquentia released in 2014 and 2015. Yes, it's true, the three Italian composers represented here - Nino Rota, Ennio Morricone and Nicola Piovani - all won the highest honours at the American Oscar™ ceremony. But this CD goes further. Alongside some of their most famous movie themes - from La strada to The Mission, from Life is beautiful to Amarcord - it also includes works written by these three screen giants for performance in concert. Although they concentrated their work on the cinema, Rota, Morricone and Piovani were still composers above all else, and their activity did not exclude an independent and committed creative dimension. Some of the pieces featured on this disc were composed or arranged for the Archi di Santa Cecilia and Luigi Piovano and are dedicated to them.
Blasting guitars making music alive again. Raw riffs, and with no unnecessary S**t in their songs. Straight on, no fuzz, and loud screaming guitars. Iron Lizards make you feel the wild and dangerous side of rock'n'roll. They make you remember the hazy days of the alternative 90´s. Be ready to testify, Iron Lizards will make your ear pukes of the loud and unfiltered joy of unsophisticated music.
