  • Recensione Del CD the Book of Bilbo and Gandalf – Marco Lo Muscio Ho
    Recensione del CD The Book of Bilbo and Gandalf – Marco Lo Muscio Ho recentemente acquistato il CD ed è stata una bellissima sorpresa scoprire le raffinate composizioni del Maestro Lo Muscio, che con notevole sensibilità ed eccellente capacità espressiva ci introduce nelle magiche atmosfere della “Terra di mezzo”. Il lavoro si ispira al famoso racconto Tolkieniano, ed attraverso 9 brani ci accompagna per mano nella fantastica narrazione di alcuni capitoli del Signore degli Anelli.. Inoltre il tutto è magicamente impreziosito dalle stupende performance di Steve Hackett, il quale ha dedicato un brano di chitarra classica all’amico Marco, John Hackett e Oksana Sinkova al flauto traverso, e da Par Lindh, che introduce il lavoro con un bellissimo brano degli anni passati, sul quale interviene nel finale il Maestro Lo Muscio con il Piano con una riuscita elaborazione del tema portante, conferendo allo stesso maggior respiro ed un finale più espressivo. Il successivo brano si struttura su un tema estremamente raffinato con atmosfere celtiche, qui si possono assaporare le grandi capacità espressive di Lo Muscio. Il terzo brano è una bellissima suite ispirata al racconto del mago Gandalf nella saga del Signore degli Anelli, esprime forza, energia, estro ed, al momento opportuno, quando non te lo aspetti, il Mago, pardon, il Maestro Lo Muscio, estrae dal suo cilindro compositivo un tema meraviglioso che ravviva le atmosfere di “Ombra e Luce” che riflettono il titolo del brano. Bellissimo! Il quarto brano è una splendida composizione di Steve Hackett dedicata a Lo Muscio, che si inserisce a meraviglia nell’album. Molto intimistico e raffinato, Steve imprime al suono della chitarra classica un alone di magia che si amalgama a perfezione con il sound dell’intero lavoro.

  • October 2013 List Blu-Ray New Releases
    tel 0115 982 7500 fax 0115 982 7020 OCTOBER 2013 LIST See inside for valid dates Dear Customer Boxsets feature heavily in our list this month, primarily due to a big promotion that we now have running until Christmas (pp.12-19), but we would also like to point out couple of exciting new boxes that might be of interest. The Decca Sound is a brilliant 50 album overview of analogue recordings that Decca produced in the pre-digital era. The beginnings of high fidelity, their ‘Full Frequency Stereophonic Sound’ became a worldwide hallmark of sonic excellence, bringing in a golden age of classical recorded music. Included in the box are celebrated recordings from the likes of Solti, Haitink, Kertesz and Dorati - recordings and performances that certainly still stand the test of time today. See p.2 for details. The Bach Cantata Pilgrimage is a series that has been closely followed by many collectors over the past few years, especially since the Monteverdi Choir’s move from DG to the wonderful presentation of the SDG label. For those who have eagerly picked up every volume, the complete collection in a single box may be superfluous, but for anyone who has simply dabbled, or maybe not even tried, it is a real treat. Coming in at £149.95, it is also a great saving on the c.£500 value of the individual items (especially bearing in mind that several volumes have now been deleted). See p.3 for details. As we are rapidly running out of space, we will just mention a few other items quickly.

  • Women Who Would Not Be Silent
    WOMEN WHO WOULD NOT BE SILENT Mary Baker Eddy (1821-1910) was an influential American author, teacher, and religious leader, noted for her groundbreaking ideas about spirituality and health, which she named Christian Science. She articulated those ideas in her major work, Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures, first published in 1875. Four years later she founded the Church of Christ, Scientist, which today has branch churches and societies around the world. In 1908 she launched The Christian Science Monitor, a leading international newspaper, the recipient, to date, of seven Pulitzer Prizes. “Woman must not and will not be disheartened by a thousand denials or a million of broken pledges. With the assurance of faith she prays, with the certainty of inspiration she works, and with the patience of genius she waits. At last she is becoming ‘as fair as the morn, as bright as the sun, and as terrible as an army with banners’ to those who march under the black flag of oppression and wield the ruthless sword of injustice.” ~Pulpit and Press, 83:8 “Let the voice of Truth and Love be heard above the dire din of mortal nothingness, and the majestic march of Christian Science go on ad infinitum, praising God, doing the works of primitive Christianity, and enlightening the world.” ~The First Church of Christ, Scientist, and Miscellany, page 245 “Let it not be heard in Boston that woman, ‘last at the cross and first at the sepulchre,’ has no rights which man is bound to respect. In natural law and in religion the right of woman to fill the highest measure of enlightened understanding and the highest places in government, is inalienable, and these rights are ably vindicated by the noblest of both sexes.

Its role in Christian theology and spirituality has a much longer history, but by the beginning of the twentieth century, its expressive potential had not been significantly recognized in liturgical choral music. This study examined the relationship between twentieth-century musical silence and the expression of silence as the ineffable in Anglican choral music (referred to as English cathedral music or ECM) of the middle of the twentieth century.
