Intelligent Fanatics: Standing On The Shoulders Of Giants

With its first international CD, the Neuer Kammerchor Berlin is standing on strong shoulders: "Standing on the Shoulders of Giants" is the debut of the ensemble founded and led by conductor Adrian Emans in 2016. It presents an exciting cross-section of the young ensemble's repertoire – from Thomas Tallis to neo-romantic music by Max Bruch and Josef Gabriel Rheinberger, pieces with a folkloristic touch by John Rutter, Paul Stanhope and Ken Steven to commissioned compositions by the American Daniel Elder and the Swede Karin Rehnqvist.

With playfulness and a large dose of wit, Robert Merton traces the origin of Newton's aphorism, "If I have seen farther, it is by standing on the shoulders of giants."

A posthumous collection of essays by one of our greatest contemporary thinkers that provides a towering vision of Western culture.

Standing on the Shoulder of Giants is the fourth studio album by the English rock band Oasis, released on 28 February 2000. The album is the 16th fastest selling album in UK chart history, selling over 310,000 copies in its first week. The album is an effective modern psychedelic record complete with drum loops, samples, electric sitar, mellotron, synthesizers and backward guitars, resulting in an album more experimental with electronica and heavy psychedelic rock influences. Songs such as "Go Let It Out", the Indian-influenced "Who Feels Love?", and the progressive "Gas Panic!" were a departure from the band's earlier style.
