Studio Ars

The songs on this album come from a unique and extraordinary period of our history, between the 13th and 14th centuries, which saw the rise of Comuni and Signorie in central-northern Italy: in the years of truce after the end of struggles between the Empire and the Papacy, Italian national sentiment flared up in great spiritual, artistic, political and social fervor.

One of the many fascinating aspects of music is its versatility - from deep melancholy and sadness to cheerful verve and joy, from tranquil idyll to dramatic impetus, it measures every conceivable state of mind. The present, very personal recording of the Lithuanian female musician duet - Ieva and Marija Dudaite - proves this and the title of the recording convincingly: INSEPARABLE.

Poeta di straordinaria facilità espressiva e talento narrativo, Ovidio fu una figura molto influente per la letteratura latina, ma anche per la cultura del Medioevo e del Rinascimento. Originario di Sulmona, dove nacque nel 43 a.C., studiò retorica a Roma e frequentò la corte di Augusto, dove divenne famoso grazie alle sue opere elegiache e amorose.

This title opens a surprising window of views onto fantastic sound landscapes,leading us, above all, into the depths of my memories of Anton Heiller and his Tanz-Toccata.

Often described as a more radio-friendly version of Lynyrd Skynyrd or the Allman Brothers, the Atlanta Rhythm Section was one of many Southern rock bands to hit the upper reaches of the charts during the late '70s. Hailing from the small town of Doraville, Georgia, the beginning of the Atlanta Rhythm Section can be traced back to 1970. It was then that a local recording studio was opened, Studio One, and the remnants of two groups (the Candymen and the Classics Four), became the studio's house band. One of the facility's head figures, Buddy Buie, soon began assembling the session band – singer Rodney Justo, guitarist Barry Bailey, bassist Paul Goddard, keyboardist Dean Daughtry, and drummer Robert Nix. After playing on several artists' recordings, it was decided to take the band a step further and make the group of players a real band, leading to the formation of the Atlanta Rhythm Section. Buie soon became an invisible fifth member of the fledgling band; he served as their manager and producer, in addition to providing a major hand in the songwriting department.

Dog Days was ARS first masterpiece and an album that still stands with their best. It showcases a band that has found its groove and is taking its music to a new level. Featuring another fine collection of songs about themselves and the South, the band displays a growing array of musical styles and approaches that are very different from where the rest of Southern Rock was headed. Overall, it's a faster paced album that what had come before, featuring six uptempo songs and two beautiful ballads-all originals.

Probably no area of music requires such a concentration of forces as chamber music. But if it is achieved, interpreters find a harmony of heart and mind, chamber music can become a fascination.
