Theiler / Yves Theiler Trio - We - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Sono Luminus presents Der Klang der Offenbarung des Gottlichen, an opera in four acts by Kjartan Sveinsson. This marks the first collaboration between Sono Luminus and Kjartan, who is a founding member of the legendary band Sigur Ros. An opera of severe and supreme beauty, critics have raved about the work. InchDer Klang boasts all the qualities we tend to associate with sweeping modern neo-classical-it's beautiful, reflective, sad... Sveinsson has a light touch, but his work hits a deeper and more visceral level, permeating and lingering long after it's subsided... Whatever he does, he has already quietly announced himself as a major talent. Inch (Pitchfork) InchSveinsson, in conjunction with co-author Ragnar Kjartansson, has created an opera for the ages... it finds grace in unexpected places, arriving far after the prayers have ended. Inch (acloserlisten. Com) InchThere is such a longing [for beauty] indeed in Sveinsson's searching score, a meditative sonic canvas for Kjartansson's exquisite images. Even absent the visual component, Sveinsson's music summons a hushed awe that makes for a mesmerizing listen on it's own. Inch (WQXR)

Scarlatti 6 Motets / Missa Ad Usum Cappellae Pontificiae Composer Alessandro Scarlatti Orchestra/Ensemble Lausanne Vocal Ensemble Choir Conductor Michel Corboz Alessandro Scarlatti wrote no fewer than 100 Italian operas, some 800 secular cantatas, dozens of sinfonias, concerti grossi, sonatas, harpsichord and organ works, vast numbers of oratorios and sacred cantatas, a Passion, 12 Masses and more than 100 motets. None of it is known because virtually none of it is published. It is sad that music of the quality Alessandro produced is now silent.
