About this product
In his Musick's Monument of 1676, Thomas Mace described in great detail numerous aspects of contemporary musical life in London. This volume evokes all the characteristics of English music, going back to the most glorious years of the Renaissance, with a particular emphasis on the repertory written for consort of viols. While his writings describe the performing practices of the time, they also provide invaluable information on instrument making, which has enabled L'Achéron to build a 'set' of six viols following Mace's indications. For this new project of English music, the ensemble inaugurates a new virginal and an organ made in accordance with the famous theorist's specifications. The programme comprises fantasias, ayres and dances by composers who brought this viol consort tradition to it's peak, including Alfonso Ferrabosco, John Ward, William White, Thomas Lupo, Richard Dering, Giovanni Coperario, William Lawes, John Jenkins and Christopher Simpson.

The complete album + 10 bonus tracks - limited edition pressing on 180g vinyl - limited edition, a Brian Morton 'Number One Essential' Recommendation. This edition contains one of Buddy Holly's most famous and essential albums, his debut LP The InchChirpingInch Crickets, a masterpiece that helped define the exact nature of rock & roll. The original dozen tracks from his debut album are the equivalent of a greatest hits collection, with signature gems like InchOh Boy!Inch, InchNot Fade AwayInch, InchMaybe BabyInch, and InchThat'll Be the DayInch, all of which testify to rock & roll immortality. Holly's ringing guitar and hiccupping vocals drew from a different sensibility than Chuck Berry's blues-tinged playing, but the backbeat and optimism of the lyrics brought them together under the rock 'n' roll banner. The album's non-hit tracks offer some lesser-known delights. This album, together with the ten bonus tracks, constitutes a true Buddy Holly greatest hits .

Maya Magub writes InchAs a musician looking for consolation myself, I was reminded of the set of six Consolations for solo piano by Liszt, and the transcription of Consolation No. 3 by the great violinist Nathan Milstein. I was curious to know how the other five Consolations would sound for violin and piano, and very excited by the potential I could immediately hear as I listened to them with that in mind. This was the beginning of my adventures with these fabulous pieces. After they had all come together, my greatest reward was hearing them as a complete set. After the Liszt Consolations, the rest of the program came organically So what are the consolations offered by all these works? They are many and varied some are put into words through their song lyrics or the composer's own description; others are more elusive. They contain many forms of nostalgia nostalgia for love (Liebesleid, Sicilienne); nostalgia for nature (Xerxes, On Wings of Song); nostalgia for one's homeland (Chant Hindu); nostalgia at the end of the day (Träumerei). Then there is religion (Ave Maria, Liszt's Consolations), friendship (Liszt's Consolations), meditation on life's meaning and purpose (Thaïs)... And of course... music itself.Inch
