Various Artists - Klang Der Stille / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This entertaining album features music of our time arranged for and performed by brass. The Brass Band Blechlkang, which consists of around 35 musicians, is made up of brass instruments and large classical percussion. With the exception of the percussion and the trombones, only instruments from the Saxhorn family are used. It is played on cornets, alto horns, baritones, euphonies, trombones and tubas. The structural similarity of the instruments used results in a particularly soft mixed sound. In combination with the ensemble-specific dominance of the bass register (up to five tubes), the typical, unmistakable sound of a brass band comes into play, which is compared over and over again with a Inchsoulful organInch. Album Tracks 1. Legend in Brass 2. Oregon 3. STÅL Himmel 4. A Nordic Trilogy 5. The Crazy Brass Machines 6. African Odyssey 7. The Floral Dance 8. Windows of the World 9. The Lion King

The baroque orchestra L'arpa festante shows how much wonderful music was created in the German High Baroque in world premiere recordings the orchestra presents four cantatas by composers from Central Germany. While the Dresden court kapellmeister Heinichen and the Thomaskantor Kuhnau were well-known personalities and are gradually being rediscovered today, Christian August Jacobi and Ernst Nicolaus Thaur are completely unknown.
