Various Artists - Eine Anthology - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It is the part the cello must interpret by assuming or acquiring a human nature. Dvorák transforms it into a warm lyrical baritone. He repopulates it with harmonics and nuances. And he shows us that the best way to overcome cello InchlimitationsInch is none other than to transcend it. Dvorák turns the cello into a meta-cello. Just as in a Mephistophelian pact, he achieves the feat of InchanimatingInch it. And the soul is in the score. You have to know how to find it. No one better to do it than Adolfo Gutiérrez Arenas, from his sensitivity, spontaneity and affinity to an instrument he would never have wanted to explore if Bach and Dvorák had not persuaded him otherwise.

Frémeaux & Associés presents the voices of 20 great French philosophers who embrace all currents of thought of the 20th century; existentialism, psychoanalysis, Marxism, religion, epistemology and morality. Each intervention of the philosopher is preceded by a commentary on his life, his work and his thought. Frédéric Worms wrote for InchLes Études PhilosophiquesInch (PUF) that this sum of recordings constituted Inchthe major contribution of sound archives to French intellectual heritageInch and the philosopher adds that the discs of this anthology should be in everyone's library. Reader of 20th century philosophy in France. (...) and to hope Inchthat the media, far from denying it, thus reconcile the thinking word, through individuals and works! Of this too we have, in these discs, a remarkable anthology. This book is the official commented version of the sound anthology of French thought.

Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau is undoubtedly one of the greatest vocalists of the past century - and one of those with the most extensive discography. Yet we constantly note the disappearance from the catalogue of early recordings for radio or gramophone, particularly those which covered less popular repertoire. And there are a number of recordings that have simply never been issued on album. The present anthology aims to bridge this gap - with seven albums offering an average of 77 minutes playing time, or a total of some nine hours of music rare repertoire, seldom or never yet available in these versions on album, matched by indispensable gems of recorded music such as the young Fischer-Dieskau in Gustav Mahler's Lieder eines fahrenden Gesellen in the orchestral version under the baton of the great Wilhelm Furtwängler. That legendary orchestra director, in his turn, judged that Inchno-one has ever sung Mahler betterInch than the young baritone.
