MEGAHERZ digging deeper into their inner world! More emotional than ever before! MEGAHERZ have lit their fractious fire over and over in the last 25 years! With "Komet" these five friends dig deeper into their inner world – more emotional than ever before. Massive Neue Deutsche Härte-riffs and colorful synth-melodies tumble into a vortex of pain and loss and the intangibility of society's ignorance. Less fantasy, more questioning: "Who makes the difference?" ["Wer macht den Unterschied?"], they ask in “Heldengrab” as they hunt for responsibility in times that are often grey. For the first time MEGAHERZ showcase political songs like "Horrorclown" or "Nicht in meinem Namen". Between all these black stars we need courage; To find peace… even if there is no time to mourn the past. "Von oben" manages this with poignant lines - a song for the late father of guitarist Christian "X-ti" Bystron. "Komet" deals with honesty.

The cantatas of volume 19 can be relegated to three groups: Four works (BWV 72, 88, 129 and 193) belong to the third Leipzig series, lasting from 1725 to 1727; five (BWV 145, 159, 171, 174 and 188) belong to the group known as the Picander cycle of 1728-29, which was not completed or has not survived complete; two works (BWV 51 and 117) belong to the period after 1730, in which Bach composed new church cantatas only sporadically.

This recording of Handel's Acis and Galatea (or Acis und Galatea) features the German translation and arrangement completed by Mozart in Vienna circa 1788, per the instructions of the Baron Gottfried von Swieten to "modernize" Handel's pieces - including Alexander's Feast, Messiah, Ode for St. Cecilia's Day, and Acis and Galatea. Mozart kept much of Handel's original string arrangements, but proceeded to layer harmonies with a degree of sophistication that Handel could only have dreamed of.
