Les Galanteries: Mandolin music from 18th century Paris Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

'Galant pleasures' seems an apt description for this release, which presents a charming selection of works written for the mandolin in 18th-century Paris. Indeed, it was around this time that a number of plucked instruments came into vogue, and the mandolin in particular found great success among the nobility and middle classes, taking part in an atmosphere of intellect and refinement that prompted a new artistic direction in music of the period, revolutionising audiences' tastes and sensibilities along the way.Zaneboni, Altieri, Cifolelli, de Gistau, de Ferreira: many of the composers included hailed from different parts of Europe, eventually settling in Paris where music for the mandolin was reaching its zenith. The vast majority, if not all, will be unfamiliar with listeners, but this should not discourage them from tapping into a gem-packed compendium built around a number of sonatas as well as arias -- works which highlight the instrument's divertissement role in salons of the time. Acclaimed period-performance group Artemandoline is the featured ensemble, all of its members having undertaken painstaking research in order to recapture the standards of mandolin playing once enjoyed among the upper echelons of society, and which has set new standards in the interpretation and perception of 17th- and 18th-century works. Joined by soprano Nathalie Pearson, this release marks their second recording for Brilliant Classics, the first dedicated to the complete mandolin sonatas of Domenico Scarlatti (94477).Other information:- New recording recorded August 2012.- Contains detailed notes on the composers and artist biographies.- The mandolin, originally a folk music instrument, came into vogue in 18th century Paris, where the nobility and middle class became fond of the charming, modest but melodious qualities of this plucked instrument. With some moderate skill it was even possible for amateur players to reach a satisfactory result.- This CD presents an exquisite bouquet of works written for the mandolin: genre pieces, sonatas and arias written by composers mostly forgotten nowadays, but highly fashionable in their time.- The ensemble Artemandoline did extensive research into this genre, taking painstaking efforts to recreate this perfumed era of the Stile Galante, playing period instruments.- Excellent liner notes written by the artists.

Vitali: Trio Sonatas Op.2 Brilliant Classics

Książki

Born in Bologna on 18 February 1632, Giovanni Battista Vitali was one of the most outstanding cellists of his generation. Rising to become sottomaestro di cappella at the court of the music-loving Duke Francesco II d'Este in 1674, the Italian's output ranges from cantatas and oratorios to various instrumental works. His Sonatas for Violin Op.2, published in 1667, form the subject of this engaging release.The sonatas, all in the 'da chiesa' style, proved to be a highly popular collection during Vitali's time, and were reprinted no less than five times in the space of 18 years! Not only did their brevity and lack of extreme technical demands appeal to competent amateurs and small churches unable to afford costly vocal resources, but the works' ability to reconcile the exacting style of the early Baroque 'sonata da chiesa' with new 'classicizing' was particularly attractive to connoisseurs of the time. Cast in three or four movements, the sonatas either begin with slow and majestic one, or (more often) a faster one with a highly imitative texture. A particularly striking piece is the Sonata No.8 in C minor, whose use of homophonic harmony, underpinned by sequences of unresolved sevenths, must have seemed exceptionally modern for its time.Performing this charming collection of works are Semperconsort, a group of Renaissance and Baroque specialists who use period-style instruments to recreate how the music would have sounded. Their astute readings are headed by Luigi Cozzolino, principal violinist and founder of the group, whose absorbing playing can only increase listeners' appreciation for this often overlooked composer.Other information:-Historically-informed performances, recorded in 2009, by Luigi Cozzolino from original sources.-Includes biographies as well as informative notes on the composer and music, written by Carlo Vitali.- Giovanni Battista Vitali, the 17th century Bolognese master, wrote these Sonate di Chiesa (Church Sonatas) for 2 violins and basso continuo (the organ). They were played between or even during several parts of the Mass Liturgy, but were equally popular for domestic use.- The music, though still retaining some of the solemn and majestic character due to its liturgical bacground, is lively, brilliantly scored for the two violins, and foreshadowing the more concertante style of Corelli and Vivaldi.- The Semperconsort and Luigi Cozzolino are also featured on the earlier Vitali issue of Brilliant Classics (BC 93976): "A delightful disc, played in an infectious and enthousiastic manner. Vitali's music seems to speak with a distinctive voice, full of liveliness and charm"(Musicweb).

The John Reading Manuscripts of Dulwich College Brilliant Classics

Nagrania muzyczneMuzyka poważna

A noted organist, composer and teacher in his day, John Reading (born in 1685/6) was obviously something of a networker, acquiring many contacts during his spell as a chorister in the Chapel Royal and thereafter becoming friends with some of the most prominent London musicians of the 18th century. The impresario drew on his professional connections to compile what is now considered one of the most important collections of English organ music from around that period: The John Reading Manuscripts. Still housed in the beautiful surroundings of Dulwich College Library, these volumes elucidate a fascinating period of stylistic transition with regard to organ writing in mid-18th-century England.John Blow, John James, Maurice Greene, Mr Seedo, John Stanley, John Barrett and John Reading himself: these are among the names featured in the collection and which make up this engaging release. The disc explores the inherent musical possibilities of the voluntary, a improvisatory piece which performed an established role as part of the church service, such as the 'double voluntary' and the '1st' or '2nd' voluntary. Two trumpet airs by Reading are included, works which were probably originally written for the harpsichord because of the high register of their solo parts, and the manuscripts also draw attention the two distinct styles of organ composition then in vogue: the old contrapuntal style of the early Baroque, with its elaborate ornamentation, and the new, lighter textures of the early 18th century -- a reflection of the new arrival of Italian opera and the rococo style.Performing these works with aplomb and drawing full attention to the different national styles contained therein is distinguished Italian organist Riccardo Bonci. The recording was, rather fittingly, made on the Dulwich College premises: Bonci plays the 1760 George England organ in Christ's Chapel of God's Gift.Other information:- Recorded 10 & 11 March 2010.- Booklet contains extensive information on the manuscript, its history, the works and the instrument.- This disc presents the most important collection of 18-th century English organ music, as collected and edited by the eminent John Reading, organist, composer and teacher from that period.- Located in the beautiful historic library of Dulwich College it contains a treasure trove of works by John Stanley, John Blow, Maurice Greene, William Croft, John Barrett and (of course) John Reading himself. Music of elegance, charm and brilliance, featuring many "Trumpet Voluntaries" .- Played on the historic 1760 George England organ in the Christ's Chapel of God's Gift in Dulwich College, a most fitting and "authentic" environment, by Italian master organist Riccardo Bonci.

Faith in the Future Mercer University Press

Książki / Literatura obcojęzyczna

In this book the chief rabbi addresses some of the major themes of our time: the fragmentation of our common culture, the breakdown of family and community life, the lack of moral direction, and the waning of religious belief. How, he asks, can we construct a humane social order that honors human dignity and difference, one in which we can be both true to ourselves and a blessing to others? In the confusing state of post-industrial societies in the post-Cold War situation, can we give those who come after us a coherent map of hope?In treating such questions, Faith in the Future is structured in four parts. In the first, "The Moral Covenant", Sacks touches on the broadest of issues: morality, the family, and the importance of communities in the life of society. In the second, "Living Together", he asks how we can co-exist while remaining faithful to our distinctive identities and traditions. In the third, "Holy Days", he describes how one faith, Judaism, lives out its beliefs; and in the last, "Jewish Ethics and Spirituality", he sketches some of Judaism's leading themes. "There is such a thing", he says, as an ecology of hope, and it lies in restoring to our culture a sense of family, community, and religious faith".All those concerned about the state of contemporary society, whether of any faith community or none, will find Faith in the Future profound, challenging, and deeply moving.

Schubert wrote various kinds of work for the stage. Yet his greatest dramas are to be found in the two song-cycles to poems by Wilhelm Müller. Here voice and piano together depict a natural setting and convey a narrative through songs whose surface simplicity belies their emotional depth. Both cycles are journeys: Die schöne Müllerin, for all that its imagery of streams and industry, nature and young love, is gentler than that of the chilly tale of Winterreise, is equally a story of alienation and death.In an interview that accompanied the first release of this 1997 recording, Bo Skovhus spoke of his research into some of the background to the cycle. He notes that in making his setting, Schubert discarded three of Müller

Mel Gibson's Bible Chicago University Press

Inne 1

"The Passion of the Christ" was an extraordinary media event. But the film has also, and more importantly, been a religious phenomenon. Mel Gibson's professed intent was to create not just a cinematic experience but a spiritual one. And he has succeeded for many moviegoers, most notably evangelical Christians, of whom millions have embraced the film as a presentation of Holy Scripture, a twenty-first-century incarnation of the Word. In this volume, biblical scholars Timothy K. Beal and Tod Linafelt - along with an esteemed group of contributors - offer a provocative range of views on "The Passion of the Christ". The book is organized in three parts. The first analyzes the film in terms of its religious foundations, including the Gospels and nonbiblical religious texts: What are the film's literary sources and how does it use them? In what ways does the medium of film require a radically different way of representing gospel narrative? The second group of essays focuses on the ethical and theological implications of the film's presentation of the Christian gospel: What do we make of its representations of female sexuality? What are the implications of focusing on the Passion in terms of atonement rather than social justice? Finally, the third section explores the film as a pop cultural phenomenon: How has the film worked to create a sense of insider status for some and alienated so many others? What can we learn about the religious dimensions of contemporary mass culture from the film's reception? Whether one is inspired or appalled by "The Passion of the Christ", there can be no question that it is a defining moment in the cultural afterlife of the Bible. This volume tries to make sense of that moment and will prove to be a touchstone for adherents and detractors of the film alike.

Sustainable development is one of the most frequently used terms in contemporary social and spatial analysis. Theorists, researchers, planners and politicians discuss the problem in all its possible aspects. Sometimes one gets the impression that the notion of sustainable development is used to describe so many different things that its real meaning seems to be lost. The problem is especially complicated when we discuss the sustainable development of urban areas. The concentration of social and economic phenomena in a relatively small area intensifies the problems stemming from the dynamics of development. And the natural environment is often forgotten in urban development plans. Thus the issue of the sustainable development of cities evokes many doubts, misunderstandings and debates on such questions as:
