Millenium 4

Semele is a masterpiece. For what else can one call a drama in which the perfect symbiosis of text and music conjures up such suggestive power? ‘To hold the mind, the ears and the eyes equally spellbound’: this recommendation by La Bruyère (Les Caractères: ‘Les ouvrages de l'esprit’) refers to the ‘machine plays’ so adored by the public in the Baroque period. But even without machinery or indeed without sets or real staging, Handel’s oratorio involves us in the tragic fate of his heroine with supreme skill.

MILLENIUM is a Polish five-piece neo-progressive band with Polish vocals on their 1st album and English vocals dominating after their 2nd production, generally in the PENDRAGON and early MARILLION styles but also with some spices of PINK FLOYD and classical GENESIS…

The release of this edition was held October 8, 1998. All data cover releases were made by Dutch Artidee Creatieve Communicatie, and photo materials were prepared ANP Foto Dutch branch of the German conglomerate.

Millennium's latest studio album "The Sin" is a musical interpretation of 7 cardinal sins present in the times of modern media.
"The Sin" contains seven tracks that describe government politicians, proud celebrities, greedy crooks, jealous lovers, lazy people, full scope of addictions and hatred for others! Welcome to the modern world of seven sins!

The Rarities album is a collection of recordings that for various reasons were not included in the Millenium studio albums. These songs come from no longer available maxi singles, compilation albums and limited boxes (black / white and red / green). Ten rarities, including never published songs: "River of Love" (The Web Part 4 ), the instrumental track "InOutro" from the MMXVIII album or "Envy" (acoustic version). It is safe to say that Millenium Rarities is second part and complement to older White Crow album.

At a time when Millenium had finally found a solid core to build upon, their leader Ryszard Kramarski faced another two departures.Guitarist Piotr Plonka and bassist Piotr Mazurkiewicz left the band to be replaced by Przemek Druzkowski and Krzysztof Wyrwa respectively (also a user of Chapman stick).The new line-up entered Kramarski's studio in summer 2003 to record the new Millenium entry.The recordings finished in March 2004 and the album was on shelves for sale during the summer by Lynx Music…

Julie Roset, a young French soprano from Avignon, immediately attracted attention with her first recital for Ricercar (Nun danket alle Gott with Clematis) and went on to record a recital of works by Sigismondo d'India with Mariana Flores that met with great critical acclaim. In this new recording she tackles several of Handel’s masterpieces on religious themes: his Salve Regina , Gloria and the motet Silete venti were all composed at the time when the young Handel had been inspired to new heights by his discovery of Roman musical life.
