From the introductory notes to Vol. ii by David Butchart: "This second volume of Music… The Universal Language (Musik - Sprache der Welt) presents another series of landmark sessions from Deutsche Grammophon's uniquely rich archive. As with Volume I, this set includes important recordings of conerstone composers such as Mussorgsky, Tchaikovsky, Dvorák and Grieg; however, it also takes in "modern" composers such as Stravinsky and Falla. And more modern still, from DG's remarkable initiative Musica Nova, a series which championed postwar German composers, come selections of works by Karl Amadeus Hartmann and Karl Höller. Both were closely associated with their respective conductors (Fricsay and Jochum). Franz Konwitschny and Otmar Suitner join the roster of conductors, while the Bamberg Symphony Orchestra and the Dresden Staatskapelle appear for the first time. Also, a significant number of CD premières is included."

One of the great mystics of the early 20th century, George lvanovich Gurdjieff was born in Alexandropol on the border of Russian Armenia and Turkey. As a young man, he began to travel east as far as Tibet, Afghanistan and Central Asia, in search of spiritual enlightenment. Visiting ancient temples, Gurdjieff learned from spiritual teachers and absorbed music from all the places he visited. On his return to the West, he gathered a group of followers who were drawn to his charismatic personality.
Frontiers Music Srl is pleased to announce the signing of Danish vocalist Ronnie Atkins to a solo deal. The acclaimed Pretty Maids and Nordic Union vocalist will release his new solo album, "One Shot," on March 12, 2021. Ronnie Atkins found himself with the time and urgency to write a solo album: the time because of a pandemic, the urgency because of a stage 4 lung cancer diagnosis. A fixture of the European metal scene as the frontman for Pretty Maids for nearly four decades, Atkins is known for lending his voice to powerful rock songs and that's exactly what he does on this solo album, One Shot. A bittersweet album due to the circumstances around it being created, it is a testament to its creator.

Constantly on the move, they travel the world to make themselves known or discover other cultures, and many musical works reflect their peregrinations, real or imaginary: Beethoven takes us to Ukraine with Schöne Minka, we dance in Hungarian, Slavic or Russian style with Brahms, Dvorak or Stravinsky, or even Brazilian with Milhaud… Violinist Nikita Boriso-Glebsky and pianist Georgy Tchaidze open their travel diaries for a world tour of the imaginary: bon voyage!
