Orfeus Barock Stockholm is the debut album of a Swedish group that goes by the same name. The fantastic new release contains pieces by Johann Sebastian Bach and his second son, Carl Philipp Emanuel Bach. Orfeus Barock Stockholm was founded in 2015 by some baroque loving members of the Royal Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra and has grown to be an important part of the music life of Stockholm and a meeting point for some of the leading baroque musicians of Sweden.
Billed as a Jazz at the Philharmonic performance, this concert consists of two intimate sets: the first showcases Roy Eldridge leading an All Star sextet, while the second part of the concert is the long Ella Fitzgerald set, with just a rhythm section. Highlights include her powerful renditions of such classics as "Angel Eyes", "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Love for Sale". The final number, a vigorous version of "It Don't Mean a Thing", brings Roy Eldridge and Stuff Smith back on stage. Stuff Smith, Don Abney, Herb Ellis and Roy Eldridge perform solos.
Schnitke' s Third Symphony is possibly his most daring and ambitious musical project. The impressive orchestral mass' employment, the exploratory character of every one of its four movements and the overwhelming perspective that hovers it, make of this work hard to label it.
