Snails

Stephen Hartke is widely recognised as one of the leading composers of his generation. His individual voice is marked by a sense for melody and colour that follows in the tradition of Bartók and Messiaen. This collection offers the listener different sides of Hartke’s chamber music performed by one of America’s premiere chamber ensembles, the Los Angeles Piano Quartet. The surreal trio The Horse with the Lavender Eye of 1997 and the four selections from Post-modern Homages for solo piano here receive their premiere recording. The Sonata is a vivid three-movement work for solo piano while The King of the Sun, written for the Los Angeles Piano Quartet, takes its inspiration from paintings by Miró.

The 23 Constellations Of Joan Miró is the 2001 album by Bobby Previte. This is a Tzadik presentation.

UK collection that is comprised of musical selections from Kubrick's central masterpieces, complimented by pieces which the director used as 'temp tracks' during the production and by all accounts with every intention of using these in the film, only to decide to replace them late on. In 2001, the scherzo from Felix Mendelssohn's 'Midsummer Night's Dream' (used for scenes of weightlessness) and Vaughan Williams 'Antarctica Suite' (for the Stargate effects and scenes on the moon) were both used in preview showings of the film before being discarded. While on Eyes Wide Shut, Wagner's 'Lieder I'm Triebhaus' ('In the Greenhouse') from Wesendonck Lieder was a significant theme in the production for more than a year before being replaced. We have also assembled the complete vintage ballroom music from The Shining. The final movement from Berlioz's 'Symphonie Fantastique', with it's epic use of the chant from the Roman Catholic Requiem mass, the 'Dies Irae', and a Sibelius piece, 'Valse Triste'. Both were important to the evolution of the film. Finally, as a young man, Stanley Kubrick fell in love with Sergi Prokofiev's score for the Sergei Eisenstein's first sound film, Alexander Nevsky. He played it to death, and it would inspire him later in his own use of dramatic music. From the scintillating recording by Fritz Reiner with the Chicago SO, we include the movement, 'Battle On the Ice'.

The Jamboree once again hosts the premiere of a reference from the famous record collection ‘Joan Chamorro presents…’, in which figures from the categories of Andrea Motis, Joan Mar Sauqué have recorded their first works, Rita Payés, Eva Fernández, Alba Armengou, Elia Bastida and a long et cetera. Disc number 20 in this series is dedicated to Koldo Munné, saxophonist, singer and composer who has been part of the Sant Andreu Jazz Band for ten years. At the Jamboree, Munné and Chamorro will have top musicians: Josep Traver, Marc Martín and Arnau Julià, apart from some surprises that will make this concert a very special evening.
