The Now - Bobby Orlando Presents Now - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Emerging from the restless creativity of New York City's late-1970s music scene, 'The Now' stood as a fleeting but unforgettable blip on the New Wave radar. Here is a band that burned brightly-playing the gritty Max's Kansas City circuit-before fading almost as quickly as it arrived. Comprised of Jeff Lennon (Geoff InchLipInch Danielik), Mamie Francis, Robin Dee, and Bobby Ore (Bobby Orefiece), 'The Now' was as eclectic as the city they hailed from, blending power pop, retro '60s vibes, punk energy, and even a splash of Jamaican rhythms into a single electric package. This album is the quintessential New Wave time capsule-vivid, fun, and surprisingly ahead of it's time.

The number of pieces written for Holy Week is vast. But you will hardly encounter such a unique treatment of fundamental Christian faith as in the Rappresentazione sacra al Santissimo Sepolcro, which was composed at the Viennese imperial court in the mid-17th century. It is a staged presentation of the events at Christ's tomb that was either composed by His Majesty Leopold I himself (from 1660) or by one of his court conductors. This recording presents the Sepolcro of 1667, which was set to music by a top Italian star - the Franciscan Antonio Cesti (1623-1669). The new imperial maestro di capella creates a world where allegorical figures representing nature and it's four elements mourn the sacred sacrifice. The waters drizzle down, the winds blow and the flames blaze - this master of opera cannot deny his true nature.
