Frontiers Music Srl is proud to announce the release of another stunning live performance from Alan Parsons and his incredibly skilled band of musicians, "One Note Symphony: Live In Tel Aviv" on February 11, 2022. The band's performance with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra will be available on 2CD + DVD, Blu-ray, 3xLP, and Digital formats. On how this very special performance came together, Alan says "We had been booked to play here with the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra and I thought it might be a great opportunity to record a video of the show. It’s a rare treat to perform with an orchestra, so I asked the IM3 Global Entertainment video team of Trinity Houston and David Minasian, who had earlier that year had done a great job filming two of our live shows in the Netherlands and produced our latest music video, The NeverEnding Show, to join us and film this performance as well. As luck would have it, they agreed to make the trip to Tel Aviv, and hired a fantastic crew of local cameramen and technicians. We are all very proud of the final result."

Works for percussion and orchestra can be timbral gimmickry from the workshops of compositional Avantgardists; or they are rhythmically inspired by the nature of the solo instrument. However, they can also be full of melody and feeling. This is true of Avner Dormans Spices, Perfumes, Toxins! a concerto for two percussionists and orchestra. Instead of hailing from a theoretical ivory tower, this work adheres to the basic form of the solo concerto. In spite of this, every note speaks the language of modernism while steering clear of typically engineered moments.
Manuel Orlandi Blasco de Nebra figures among the most talented musicians of the 18th century Spain. He studied in Seville and in Madrid. Son and apprentice of José Blasco de Nebra, the organist of the Seville Cathedral since 1735, he composed over 170 works for keyboard instruments, about 30 of which are still in existence. As well as his talent for playing the organ, the fortepiano and the harpsichord, Manuel Blasco de Nebra’s excellent prima vista (or sight-reading: the ability to perform a piece of music upon reading it for the first time) was well-renowned. Heir to Domenico Scarlatti in many respects, Manuel Blasco de Nebra was a creative genius whose life was too short – he died aged 34 – to get the recognition that he deserved; his compositions have since his lifetime been overshadowed by the reputation of Domenico Scarlatti.
