Toby Twining - Chrysalid Requiem - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Toby Twining - Eurydice [COMPACT DISCS] date 02/22/2011

Deep Woods Revival is the second album by Portland family performer Red Yarn. He delves deeper into the American folk canon, weaving an original narrative and lyrics into traditional animal folksongs. Recorded at Type Foundry Studios with renowned producer Adam Selzer, a band of local luminaries, and a choir of friends, Deep Woods Revival is a rich and lively folk-rock song cycle about childhood freedom and discovery in the wilderness.

Once again la festa musicale focuses on the music of Gregor Joseph Werner, Kapellmeister and immediate predecessor of Joseph Haydn at the Esterházy court. The second album in the recording series dedicated to Gregor Joseph Werner is characterized by darkly shimmering hues between suffering and redemption. In his Requiem of 1763, Passiontide motets and instrumental oratorio introductions, Haydn's largely unknown predecessor astounds with his contrapuntal artistry, spirituality and expressiveness.
