Virgin Classics invites you to enjoy the world premiere recording of Viviadi's Il Farnace in a version that Vivaldi prepared specially for the city of Ferrara in 1737-38 after its success in Venice. This is not only the first time the Ferrara version of Farnace has been recorded, but also the first time it has been heard, as the planned performances of 1738 were cancelled due to the local failure of the Vivaldi opera that preceded it, Siroe.
In the corpus of recordings made by I Musici on behalf of Phillips, it still counts the recording of Vivaldi's Op. No. 3 - L'Estro armonico. This is not the case to deepen the artistic element of the famous chamber music ensemble. Suffice it to say that despite the contributions of the executive philology, this traditional recording remains a landmark in the discography of Vivaldi, ever actual for the executive equilibrium, for the solo contributions and for its beauty in general.
A well-regarded composer in his own right, Leopold I transformed the Viennese court into a centre of European culture. The beautiful settings he wrote for the burials of his first two wives, as well as his music for the Feast of the Seven Sorrows of the Blessed Virgin Mary, are testament to the Emperor’s musical talent.
Unencumbered by considerations of live performance, Untourable Album’s title reveals the intent behind its inception. Composed and recorded during a global lull in touring, accompanying videos for the songs 'Tree Amongst Shrubs', 'Serenade of Water', and 'Sugar' compile footage from the aptly-titled Untourable Tour as the album ended up being tourable after all. The album cover features a photograph by celebrated American photographer Lynn Goldsmith, showcased originally in a 1984 collection titled A Day in the Life of Canada.
Dream 6 is actually the original name for the band that would become Concrete Blonde, comprised of future Blonde members Johnette Napolitano and James Mankey (Michael Murphy handles drumming). They released this six-song EP in France four years before their self-titled debut and there's nothing very remarkable about it…
Georg Forsters fünfteilige Edition der ,Frischen Teutschen Liedlein' ist die wohl bedeutendste von Liedern in deutscher Sprache aus Sammlung der Hochrenaissance. Da mutet es schon seltsam an, dass bisher nur ganz wenige Einzelsätze aus dieser umfassenden Sammlung auf CD veröffentlicht wurden - eine CD, die sich ausschließlich dieser Sammlung widmet, liegt hier überhaupt zum ersten Mal vor.

CD-reissue of a noteworthy album from the Dutch psychedelic scene of the late '60s-early '70s. Reminding of fellow Dutchmen s.a. Cosmic Dealer, Outsiders ('CQ'-era), Group 1850 and late Q65, this album (originally dating from 1970) offers driving progressive/psych rock with lots of organ, howling guitars and functional use of echo.
