Tchaikovsky / London - Eugen Onegin (Sung in German) - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

BNQT is an indie rock supergroup founded by members of Midlake and features Ben Bridwell (Band of Horses), Jason Lytle (Granddaddy), Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand), and Fran Healy (Travis). Their debut Dualtone , Volume 1, highlights each guest singer and writer on two songs each, including two sung by Eric Pulido of Midlake. The resulting record is a collage of sound and a venture into uncharted territory for all members involved. The band (pronounced InchBanquetInch) was formed after Pulido decided to reach out to members of bands they met on tour and create something that was different from anything they'd ever recorded; different from the sounds each band had created for themselves. With Volume 1, a camaraderie flourishes and the music brings together several unique voices and talents. Album Tracks 1. Restart 2. Unlikely Force 3. 100 Million Miles 4. Mind of a Man 5. Hey Banana 6. Real Love 7. Failing at Feeling 8. L.A. on My Mind 9. Tara 10. Fighting the World

The unforgettable passion and intensity that soprano Leonie Rysanek and baritone George London brought to their most famous pairing in Wagner's Der fliegende Hollander is well-represented here as well on this recording of a 1955 live performance of Tchaikovsky's Eugen Onegin, starring Ms. Rysanek as Tatyana and Mr. London as Onegin. Though already becoming less common at the time, the opera is sung in German translation rather than Russian for the Austrian audience in attendance. This historic recording has been remastered in 24bit/96kHz sound.
