ATMA Classique, Ensemble ArtChoral and Mécénat Musica are proud to present Art choral, Vol. 1 : Renaissance with Ensemble ArtChoral under the direction of Matthias Maute. Volume 1 surveys choral repertoire by Renaissance composers such as Cristóbal de Morales and Tomás Luis de Victoria (Spain), Andrea Gabrieli and Cipriano de Rore (Italy), Clément Jannequin and Josquin des Prés (France), and Thomas Tallis and William Byrd (England), in music that reflects the flowering of vocal polyphony in Renaissance Europe.

The importance of De-Phazz in electronic entertainment music since the turn of the millennium is undoubted. Anyone who has held a cocktail in a lounge in Berlin, Miami or Ibiza since 1997 knows the band from Heidelberg. Pit Baumgartner, creative head of De-Phazz, presents his magnum opus "Pit Sounds", which combines different sounds in an unconventional way. Baumgartner describes his working method as creatively mining a huge collection of sounds to find acoustic precious metal and bring it into a new context. Even though it is of course an expression of pure self-irony, the album certainly stands up to the tongue-in-cheek comparison with the Beach Boys classic "Pet Sounds". Cozy 60s choirs meet classy jazz guitar licks, syrupy retro strings à la Bert Kaempfert, singing cowboys, Latin American standard dances, multilingual language snippets and even football horns.

The fruit of the author's many courses on Emmanuel Levinas in Europe and the United States, this study is a clear introduction for graduate students and scholars who are not yet familiar with Levinas's difficult but exceptionally important oeuvre.
