This is the fourth volume in our The Library EP series. The idea behind it is to explore, maintain and grow our library of close-harmony repertoire. “Close-harmony” is arguably the part of our work for which we are best known, and our library of thousands of pop, jazz and folksong arrangements is one we’re always determined to nurture. The track-listing for each volume in the series is designed to celebrate old favorites alongside brand new arrangements created especially for these recordings, which we hope will become the ‘old favorites’ of the future. The King’s Singers were founded on 1 May 1968 by six choral scholars who had recently graduated from King’s College Cambridge. Their vocal line-up was (by chance) two countertenors, a tenor, two baritones and a bass, and the group has never wavered from this formation since.
Does Florian Noack’s take on transcription smack of forbidden delights? From Bach to the Sherman Brothers, the pianist denies himself nothing, especially not the pleasure of liberally sprinkling his good humour and insolent virtuosity over these pieces of every hue. Here is a delightful album in which repertory masterpieces and unexpected musical universes come together in perfect harmony under his fingers and gain new light and life, joyful, playful, airy and poetic, thanks to the magic of his inspiration. With exquisite taste, Florian Noack's transcriptions and paraphrases take us into a world of freedom and refinement, where novel sounds and subtleties of language are delicacies to be savoured… guilt-free!
The third edition of the series Film Music – Sounds of Hollywood presents music from the most famous movies and television series. The brilliant sound of the Vogtland Philharmonie brings Hollywood directly into your sound system. Some of the most award-winning film scores are presented on this album, including selections from John William’s Star Wars score, who was nominated for his fourth Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2015. Also included are selections from House Of Cards, Game of Thrones, Aladdin, Bonanza, and others. The Vogtland Philharmonic Orchestra is a supra-regional orchestra with a unique spectrum of activities ranging from symphonic concerts to serenades and gala evenings, from concerts in historical costumes to film music performances or contemporary crossover projects. The Vogtland Philharmonic has developed a series of educational programs as well, such as the “Kids meet Classic” concert series, in order to engage new musical talent. As the musical ambassador of the region, the Vogtland Philharmonic performs all over Europe, as well as in Turkey, China and in the USA. It is also a regular partner of international music competitions. Formed in 1992 as the result of a merger between two renowned symphony orchestras from Thuringia and Saxony, the Vogtland Symphony has since established itself as an indispensable cultural institution. It continues the over 150 year old orchestral tradition of the region at the highest artistic level and continues to delight with its spirit of invention and innovation.
