Fred And és

Debut 1976 album by Catalan jazz-rock group Secta Sònica, a classic of the so-called 'Rock Laietà' genre. Blend of classic jazz-rock with Mediterranean elements and Catalan folk, this first album is still quite a bit progressive-sounding, even symphonic at times, with some good use of electric guitars.

Karl Bohm’s name carries with it immense respect among musicians and connoisseurs in our most sophisticated markets, particularly for opera where his “gods” were Mozart, Wagner and Richard Strauss. Deutsche Grammophon proudly brings together for the first time his complete vocal recordings for the label – including the star-studded 1968 ‘Le nozze di Figaro’; the legendary ‘Zauberflöte’ from 1964 with Fritz Wunderlich and Roberta Peters; Bohm’s two recordings of the ‘Missa solemnis’, two Rosenkavaliers, three recordings of Ariadne auf Naxos, Wagner’s Hollander & Tristan … and one disc of new-to-CD recordings. Beautiful packaging and presentation.

The piano works of the Polish master touch the heart chords of every listener and music lover around the world, they speak the universal language of beauty, melancholy, tenderness and passion.

Imagine a completely instrumental Allman Brothers, or perhaps more accurately the fusion of the Allman spin-off band Sea Level, then lace it with strong Spanish folk tendencies and further adventures in multiple guitars, and one might start to understand the sound of this outstanding late 70s Spanish five-piece. If you're lookin' for keyboards, you've come to the wrong party - sure you'll find piano, Fender Rhodes, and maybe even a little synth here and there, but only in support roles. This is a guitar show. Most of the tracks are tight and focused, somewhere in the two-to-four minute range: typically they start on a dime, make their point, offer a few solos, and wrap things up neatly - and still give you change. Unlike the Allmans, there are no hyperextended solos or sidelong jams…

The box contains 10 CDs and offers reference shots of all the central works such as the Psalms of David, the Cantiones sacrae, the Resurrection History, the Little Sacred Concerts, Choral Music and last but not least the Passions. The partly unpublished recordings show the Dresden Kreuzchor at the height of its development.
