Yoko Kawakubo - La Gamme - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

When one thinks of Schumann, his piano works and Lieder come to mind, as well as the Piano and Cello Concertos and his symphonies. His chamber music has received rather less attention, although he showed himself particularly interested in experimentation in these works, both with regard to form and to instrumentation. With the present recording, OehmsClassics is proud to present a production with the young, up-and-coming violinist Iskandar Widjaja and the designated Principal Conductor of the Berlin Konzerthaus Orchestra, Christoph Eschenbach. Iskandar Widjaja is considered one of the most interesting violinists of the younger generation. The Inchversatility of his style, his musical presentation with highly varied tonal nuances and facets together with a flawless technique and enormous charismaInch (Mo. C. Eschenbach) are praised by colleagues as well as the media. Iskandar Widjaja plays the Stradivari InchWillemotteInch of 1734, on kind loan from Florian Leonhard, London, as well as a Stradivari replica by Scott Cao built in 2013.

Fortuna Ensemble - Cigni Capre Galli E Grilli [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/1999

Playful yet focused, but broader in scope and experimentation than previous efforts, the ten songs that comprise Levity continue the band's exploration of the pop song as both foil for experimentation and conduit for personal reflection. Whereas the group's debut LP Whoosh! Demonstrated their ability to craft clean, concise jangle pop, Levity takes a different route by utilizing a darker pallet of sounds to create it's impressionistic whole. Fuzz and distortion are employed to add weight to songs built on tape loops and Motorik drum patterns. Warbling synthesisers and modulated keys add new moods and dimensions to The Stroppies unique brand of pop classicism.. The songs still hit with the immediacy that made their debut so engaging, but there's a creeping cynicism and wistfulness that now permeates The Stroppies sound.1. The Perfect Crime (04 40)2.
