About this product

When four musicians of high caliber join forces, one can generally expect favorable results; but only the truly splendid manage to create a musical experience greater than the sum of it's parts. Such is the nature of The Opus Project, founded in 2020 and already rated as one of Canada's most eminent Early Music quartets. On MICHEL DE LA BARRE, the four musicians masterfully perform rarely-heard, unsung suites by the eponymous French flute virtuoso and composer, who broke new ground in Baroque music by merit of being the first to publish solo pieces for his instrument. Zesty yet courtly, refined yet effervescent, these works please at once, not least owing to the lucid and charming interpretation by The Opus Project. A match made in heaven.

The Opus Project - Concerts Pour la Flute Traversiere Avec la Basse   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

?Celebrated Montréal flutist Joanna Marsden explores the work of eighteenth century French composer Michel Pignolet de Montéclair on MONTÉCLAIR CONCERTS FOR BAROQUE FLUTE from Navona Records. The performances feature The Opus Project, a chamber music initiative founded by Marsden and Christophe Gauthier dedicated to revisiting early musical prints and manuscript sources in order to celebrate the unsung treasures of baroque chamber music. The InchconcertsInch of Montéclair reconcile Italian virtuosity and complexity with French expressive language, exploring a variety of national styles to which he was exposed during his time working in Milan. Orchestrated with flute, viola da gamba, harpsichord, and theorbo, The Opus Project gives new life to these centuries-old compositions for modern audiences.

KT Tunstall - Nut   - VINYL LP

Limited green colored vinyl. 'I feel there are two immediate, recognizable pillars of my style,' Tunstall says, 'I have this troubadour, acoustic guitar-driven emotional side. Then there's definitely a rocker side of me with sharper teeth'. In the last few years, the Grammy-nominated Scottish Musician has expanded on these musical selves by focusing on a trilogy of records, where each album zeroes in on a single concept soul, body and mind. The first, 2016's 'Kin', was the soul record; 2018's 'Wax' was the body record, and 'Nut' is the mind record. Produced by Martin Terefe, who co-wrote her 2005 global hit 'Other Side of the World, Nut' draws on Tunstall's love of percussive West African grooves as a metaphor for the learning patterns of the mind and is an eclectic album that seamlessly weaves together disparate styles. She found her writing mojo thanks to 'Canyons', a song propelled by a grimy, heavy rock riff. In keeping with 'Nut's theme, the song's lyrics are about the canyon-like physiology of the brain, and explore the parallels between humans developing unique identities and the way nature evolves and is shaped over time. Elsewhere, the lyrics and sound delve into KT's own personal evolution, and the way we all evolve through the repetition of behaviors and our reactions to life experiences.
