Opella Musica, Tillmann Steinhöfel & Gregor Meyer - Schein: Israelis Brünnlein (2023)
FLAC (tracks), Lossless +Booklet | 1:41:17 | 493 Mb
Genre: Classical / Label: CPO

In the early 17th century, Italy was the wonderland of music, all new ideas and suggestions came from here, and whoever was a composer in the north - thus also in Germany - could not avoid these innovations, for example the 'madrigalian manner'. Johann Hermann Schein, too, enthusiastically embraced the southern stimuli as they reached the ears of German musicians in madrigals and sacred concertos from the beginning of the century, but he was never able to deny his musical upbringing and education rooted in German chapel and cantor tradition. This is especially true of his cycle of 26 sacred madrigals for 5 voices and b.c., the Israels Brünnlein - Fontana d'Israel, published in 1623, when Schein was already Leipzig's Thomaskantor. This cycle is virtually a combination of the German-Dutch motets tradition and the New Italian art of expression. Schein commands the various stylistic phenomena with aplomb, committed only to the affects and the expression. The collection is a step on the way to a more subjective, emotional practice of faith, as it then breaks through in Pietism.

Posted by SERTiL at Aug. 29, 2017

This album marks part two of CPO's complete recordings of sacred works by Johann Kuhnau, featuring premiere recordings. Offered here is a multifaceted picture of Kuhnau's cantata oeuvre ""Lobe den Herren, meine Selle"" - certainly numbering among the earliest of the compositions brought together on this album. Musically, it continues to be situated very much in the tradition of the sacred concerto of the late seventeenth century.

Yo-Yo Ma - Classic Yo-Yo Ma (2001) [Reissue 2016] SACD ISO + DSD64 + Hi-Res FLAC Vinyl & HR

Posted by HDAtall at Aug. 17, 2024

Classic Yo-Yo is a greatest-hits collection for the famous Yo-Yo Ma, something he's fully entitled to after two decades of runaway success. It's "Classic Yo-Yo" in the sense that it presents well-loved and presumably durable selections from a variety of Yo-Yo Ma albums, not because it inclines toward Ma's straight-ahead classical recordings. In fact the division between classical and crossover pieces on the disc is about 50/50, and they tend to alternate. The transition from Bach to Astor Piazzolla works OK, but that from Appalachian Journey mastermind Edgar Meyer to Brahms might be a bit jarring. A greatest-hits album is a tough item for Ma because his recordings are so different from one another and involve such a variety of other musicians. As Ma himself says in an interview included in the liner material, "Collaboration is the best part of what I do, it's what I enjoy most about being a musician".

Jo Berger Myhre - Unheimlich Manoeuvre (2021) Music

EAC Rip | FLAC (tracks+log+.cue) - 161 Mb | MP3 CBR 320 kbps - 86 Mb | 00:37:07
Contemporary Jazz, Ambient | Label: RareNoise Records

Myhre makes his solo debut with the release of the captivating and mysterious Unheimlich Manoeuvre. The title is an obvious play on the life-saving technique, though whether the added negation makes the threatening or simply subverted remains ambiguous. More to the point, the English translation of unheimlich is “uncanny” or “eerie” – an apt descriptor for the sounds that Myhre creates. To borrow a phrase from David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, Myhre conjures aural landscapes that suggest “a place both wonderful and strange,” stunning in their beauty with something alluringly unsettling lurking just underneath.
