共感 D.o.

We Are One' is one of the most elaborate concept albums the market has ever seen, combining U.D.O.'s hard rocking sound with a 60 piece orchestra, creating a wholly unique worldwide musical project! Metal legend U.D.O. will release their new album "We Are One" on July 17th, which was written in collaboration with the official Concert Band of the German Armed Forces (Musikkorps der Bundeswehr) under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Christoph Scheibling and is a wholly unique worldwide musical project. The album contains 15 new songs that have been developed and arranged by U.D.O. together with Christoph Scheibling. The two former Accept musicians Stefan Kaufmann and Peter Baltes have been part of the songwriting too - as well as the German Armed Forces´ composers Guido Rennert and Alexander Reuber.

December 11th sees the release of “D.O.C. Deluxe”, featuring all the songs on “D.O.C.” plus six brand new tracks including the special duet of STING & ZUCCHERO singing the previously unreleased “September”.

After more than 60 million records sold worldwide, 37 years of career and more than a dozen albums to his credit, Zucchero returns in 2019 with a new album. Among the greatest exponents of Italian blues, Zucchero (born Adelmo Fornaciari) is undeniably one of the most sold Italian artists in the world. His album "Oro, incenso e birra" sold more than eight million copies and was for a long time the best-selling album in the history of Italian pop music! His music is spread across national boundaries through numerous collaborations with international artists such as Bryan Adams, Blues Brothers, Bono, Jeff Beck, Charles Ray, Eric Clapton, Joe Cocker, Peter Davis Miles Davis, John Lee Hooker , BB King, Mark Knopfler, Brian May, Iggy Pop, Alejandro Sanz, Sting and many others. His new album, scheduled for November 8, announces rock and dance in the image of the first single "Freedom". He will be in Paris for promo around the release of the album. And will return in the hexagon in autumn 2020 for a tour of six dates through the Accor Hotel Arena in Paris.

In the preface to his Musiche da cantar solo of 1609, Sigismondo d'India noted with endearing frankness that in the solo vocal music of his time there was a danger of every piece sounding the same. His own works, however, he sought to rescue from this mire of monotony by means of ''uncommon intervals'' which would have ''a greater emotional force than if they had been written in a uniform way with conventional progressions''. Anyone who would suspect this disc, offering 19 monodies for tenor and continuo, of sameness is hereby advised to believe d'India rather than initial instinct.

There are melodies that accompany us for a lifetime. You twist and turn them, they can inspire, give hope or comfort. For Johann Sebastian Bach [1685-1750] it was a simple hymn: O head full of blood and wounds. He used this melody again and again, in various settings, in some of his greatest works such as the Christmas Oratorio or the St Matthew Passion. It runs through his life as a red thread, like this concept album: Ebenbild is a continuous narrative in which the boundaries between musical genres and between music and language are blurred.
