Laurie Anderson - The Best Of

Laurie Anderson é diplomada em história da arte e escultura. Desde os anos 1970 vem realizando performances em New York especificamente no espaço intermidia chamado The Kitchen.

Em 1981, grava o disco "O Superman (For Massenet)". O disco é apreciado e relançado pelo influente "branché" da mídia inglesa, e se torna um sucesso, chegando a segunda posição nas paradas inglesas. O sucesso a faz sair do estatuto de artista "avant-garde" e lhe oferece uma notoriedade entre artistas mais populares.  Seus temas prediletos dizem respeito à tecnologia e seus efeitos sobre as relações humanas.

Esposa de Lou Reed, Laurie Anderson vive hoje em Nova Iorque.

Laura Phillips "Laurie" Anderson (born June 5, 1947) is an American experimental performance artist and musician who plays violin and keyboards and sings in a variety of experimental music and art rock styles.

Anderson married longtime companion Lou Reed.

Soul of the East

The ancient rhythms and sounds of the Near East, with their Arabic, Armenian, Greek, Turkish and Israeli overtones, take on an exciting new dimension in these imaginative interpretations by a group of skilled musicians born in the USA of Near Eastern parentage. Leader, Buddy Sarkissian, born in Lowell, Mass. has been called the king of Near Eastern drummers.

The sheer skill and exuberance of the players, coupled with their modern conceptions and interpretations will provide a true listening thrill.

The tunes chosen for this album are numbers played during the group's night club and concert appearances. They have been arranged in a sequence that will generate excitement - and listening interest - from the first note to the last.

During night club dates, the group often features the artistic interpretations of folk dancers Lisa and Ahmad. Listen carefully and you'll hear the metallic glint of their finger cymbals (zils) in the background on many of the numbers.

J. S. Bach - Alles mit Gott - Gardiner

Este CD superou todas as expectativas sendo record de vendas em 2008.

"Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn' ihn" (All with God and Nothing Without) is an aria for soprano, strings, and basso continuo written in October 1713 by Johann Sebastian Bach. It was discovered on May 17, 2005 in the Duchess Anna Amalia Library. The work was written in honor of the 52nd birthday of Duke Wilhelm Ernst of Saxe-Weimar, whom Bach served as court organist. The last time a previously unknown vocal work by Bach was discovered was in 1935.

However, because the work lasts only 12:20 and there were no other Bach premieres to fill up the disc, the remainder of the program consists of 10 movements drawn from various Bach sacred cantatas performed by the Monteverdi Choir, the English Baroque Soloists, and a host of vocal and instrumental soloists all under the direction of John Eliot Gardiner. Although the prospect of 10 seemingly random movements might appear daunting at first, they are in fact arranged into a kind of pastiche cantata of amazing aesthetic effectiveness. More importantly, the tender and intimate interpretations of Gardiner and his forces make each moment of each movement astonishingly emotionally affecting. Monteverdi Productions' sound is warm and close.

Cette découverte sensationnelle - la première depuis 1935 -, a réjoui le monde musical. L’aria, dénichée à la Bibliothèque Anna Amalia de Weimer, est composée de 12 vers. Écrite pour soprano solo, cordes et basse continue, elle s’ouvre sur les mots « Alles mit Gott und nichts ohn’ ihn » (« Tout avec Dieu et rien sans lui »). Elle a été composée en 1713 pour souligner le 52e anniversaire de naissance du Duc Wilhelm Ernst de Saxe-Weimar, employeur de Bach de 1708 à 1717 alors qu’il était organiste pour la cour.

Carl Fredrik Aagaard

Pergola in Amalfi

Le peintre danois, Carl Frederic Aagaard, est né à Odense, au Danemark, en 1833.

Il a étudié l'art avec son frère, qui allait devenir un célèbre graveur sur verre. Au terme de ses études, il a travaillé avec un artiste du nom de Hilker, un peintre décoratif, ils ont collaboré à plusieurs ouvrages sur les universités et les autres monuments publics. Sa peinture décorative est devenue très connue au Danemark, Aagaard a reçu commande pour la chapelle du roi Christian IV. Pendant ce temps, il a travaillé avec le peintre paysagiste, Peter-Kristian Skoovgaard, et a été encouragé à passer plus de temps à la peinture sur toile. Il expose pour la première fois en 1857.

It was his final teacher though, the landscape painter Peter Skoovgaard, that was to be the most influential. In 1857, Aagaard exhibited his paintings for the first time to great success and continued to exhibit paintings and trips to Switzerland and Italy helped to perfect his style.
