With keyboardist Skolnick gone, FZ continued as a trio, recording this wonderfully dark album filled with political intrigue and emotional hang-ups (making personal feelings political and vice versa). Eschewing some of their earlier quirkiness, Watts and Co. were far more direct and serious…

Destination Paradise was the sixth studio album by Fischer-Z. The album saw a change of record label, and another completely different line-up, still with John Watts as the original member. The album featured several lyrics of John Watt's acute observations of political events. Following the release of the album, Watts as usual, toured and promoted the album extensively, which reportedly helped to garner a new generation of fans, and Destination Paradise has been regarded as a "dynamic and cinematic" album.

Fischer-Z - Til The Oceans Overflow (2021) Music

Posted by Fizzpop at Oct. 7, 2021

The new album Til The Oceans Overflow connects with the 40th Anniversary of Fischer-Z’s iconic Red Skies Over Paradise album. It is set once again in Berlin and contrasts the personal, political and social changes between 1980 and 2020. The internet and social media have radically affected people’s freedoms and manipulability and characters mentioned in the 1980s songs are brought forward 40 years in their lives to illustrate some of these changes.

It also has John Watts' usual quota of people stories. The first single, 'Damascus Disco', emphasizes the need for warmth and affection in the solving of humanitarian problems.

John Watts – One More Twist (1982) Music

John Watts – One More Twist (1982)

From the Ashes of FISCHER Z came this truly wonderful album. I'm a big fan of Fischer Z, I like all their early albums and this offerring continued that work, with a more stripped-back, raw approach to the arrangements. Speaking a Different Language is one of my all-time favourite songs and typifies the energy and power of this album. Every track is so strong that it is hard to pick highlights. If you love Fischer Z's early albums, you will adore this. ONE MORE TWIST is an underrated jewel !!

Netherlands Wind Ensemble, Thierry Fischer - Igor Stravinsky: Mavra; Symphonies of Wind Instruments; Octet; Concertino (1998) Music

Posted by Designol at May 8, 2021

This CD offers a rare opportunity to hear Igor Stravinsky's opera buffa, 'Mavra.' At only 28 minutes, the opera is short, but interesting. By scoring the orchestra with full winds and just a handful of strings, Stravinsky molded the usually romantic opera genre into his cool, neoclassical form. Both the singing and the playing are highly energetic, and contain a certain wittiness. Conductor Thierry Fischer does something quite amazing: instead of the usual separation between voice and pit orchestra, Fischer puts the orchestra in direct dialogue with the stage action, creating an incredible integration. The 'Octet' and 'Concertino', more standard works, are also well played. Attacks and articulations are so very clean, and it was this cleanliness that attracted Stravinsky to wind instruments in the first place. Unlike other Stravinsky recordings, this one has the vitality and moodiness that make the notes sparkle. One always feels a sense of propulsion. In the 'Concertino', this rhythmic drive is contrasted beautifully with eerie string lines. The 'Octet' manages to achieve a perfect chamber music feel. The ensemble never forces the sound, and the result is an elegant, interesting and contagious performance. The same could be said for the whole album.

Adam Fischer, Düsseldorfer Symphoniker - Mahler: Symphony No.1 (2017) Music

Posted by tirexiss at May 11, 2023

For the third installment in Adam Fischer's Mahler cycle on CAvi-music, he leads the Düsseldorf Symphony in a straightforward and polished presentation of the Symphony No. 1 in D major, assembled from several concert recordings in February 2017. This 2018 release offers a nearly flawless version of one of Mahler's most popular symphonies, and Fischer prudently avoids any anachronistic associations with the symphony's earlier form as a symphonic poem.
