Zhang - Fingerprints - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The Akademie für Alte Musik Berlin launches a series of Mozart symphonies to appear on Pentatone, starting with the composer's InchParisInch and InchHaffnerInch symphonies. On this first album, the works are coupled with his enchanting Oboe Concerto - performed by the ensemble's first oboeist Xenia Löffler - and the bold overture to Die Entführung aus dem Serail in Mozart's own woodwind arrangement. Taken together, these pieces demonstrate the rich palette and expressive power of Mozart's music in the period between 1777 and 1783, during which he finally managed to spread his wings and leave his hometown of Salzburg. The Akademie für Alte Musik is generally seen as one of the best period-instruments ensembles of today, and has a substantial Pentatone discography, including CANTATA with Bejun Mehta (2018), Handel's Concerti grossi Op. 3 and 6 (released in 2019 and 2020), Telemann's Miriways (2020), Handel's Messiah (2020), Haydn's L'isola disabitata (2021) and La Passione with Christina Landshamer (2022).

What kind of introduction could possibly do justice to the most influential grindcore / death metal band of all time? Repulsion is the band that introduced the world to insane blasting drums, bone jarring distorted bass, and the most vile lyrics imaginable. Originally released in Europe during 1989 by members of Carcass on their Necrosis Records tag, Horrified is a gnere-pionnering masterpiece that has influenced almost every band playing death metal and is sure to rhapsodize listeners with a guaranteed to scramble synapses and rupture eardrums.
