Sinatra Frank: Capitol years 1953-62 (Rem) [12 CD]

I början av 60-talet drabbade "The British Invasion" västvärlden. En hel tonårsgeneration<br/>sveptes med i en revolterande våg av långt hår, popmusik och mode. I Sverige skrev en då tolvårig "Tio i topp-nörd" sina första låtar hemma i pojkrummet på Jansasgatan 4 i Sandviken. Det var början på ett låtskrivande som fortfarande pågår.<br/><br/>Nyligen upptäcktes en dammig flyttlåda fylld med rullband i en källare, innehållande de första<br/>trevande inspelningarna från 60-talet. Ett aldrig tidigare utgivet material. 50 års låtskrivande lämnar spår efter sig. Spår som trampar upp stigar. Spår som bildar mönster, linjer och riktning. Spår som med tiden tydliggjort uttryck, temperament och stil. Spår som sammantaget blir Tomas Ledin.<br/><br/>Nu har vi chans att återuppleva denna resa när Universal ger ut en läcker CD-box med<br/>material samlat från hans fantastiska karriär. Boxen innehåller sammanlagt 7 CD, med 133<br/>låtar. Tomas Ledin "Spår" innehåller hans största hits samlade (studio och live) samt outgivna<br/>låtar varav en nyinspelning exklusiv för denna utgåva. Boxen innehåller även en attraktiv 90-<br/>sidig bok med mängder av tidtypsika bilder. Bokens texter är skrivna av: Tomas Ledin, Claes af<br/>Geijerstam, Lennart Wretlind, Kjell Alinge, Mikael Wiehe, Niklas Strömstedt, Kersti Adams Ray,<br/>Claes Ohlson, Frida Reuss med flera Och - förstås - flera timmar tidlös Ledin-pop.

The master of Italian Baroque music is indisputably Antonio Vivaldi. Throughout his life, he composed hundreds of works, and is remembered perhaps second only to J.S. Bach, ranking as one of the most popular composers of all time. His oeuvre crosses an extraordinarily wide range, from instrumental compositions of all types to sacred cantatas and operatic works, a vast number of which are presented in this comprehensive box set.Vivaldi composed a large part of his works while working at the Ospedale della Pietà in Venice, where he was employed as a composer, teacher and violinist. The aim of the foundation was to provide an education and home for orphaned children. Vivaldi remained in the post on and off for over 30 years, and was under obligation to compose a new cantata for every feast day. His reputation, however, grew thanks to his post, adding up to over 140 in his absence. His operatic works grew vastly in number, instrumental skills rather than his compositions at first; as a violinist, he was known for his extraordinary cadenzas and virtuosic playing style. He became better known as a composer when Dutch publisher Etienne Roger brought out Lestro armonico in 1711, a hugely popular collection of 12 violin concertos, included on this release in full. J.S. Bach was particularly enthused by the manuscript, and his transcriptions for organ have gained popularity on their own merit his version is also to be found in this edition, a fascinating point of comparison, and a testament to Vivaldis reputation in his lifetime.During the 1720s and 30s, Vivaldi began to travel widely, while still sending compositionsto the Pietà in Venice when required: despite being unable to teach, he was clearly still a major asset, as he was asked to send two concertos a month by and he began working closely with soprano Anna Girò, who was rumoured to be his mistress. Vivaldi died in Vienna, and, incredibly for such a famous and wealthy man, was given a paupers burial. His last few months in Vienna had been frustratingly lacking in work, as concert houses were closed to mourn the death of Charles VI; however, his last opera was eventually staged posthumously there in 1742.Vivaldi was a divisive figure during his lifetime, well known for being vain and conceited. His vanity, though, is certainly deserved; we are left with the overwhelming evidence. More than 50 operas (of which 21 survived), 500 concertos and 90 sonatas are no mean feat for a man who by all accounts was also a superb teacher and virtuosic violinist. This release draws attention to the diversity of his oeuvre, starting with his instrumental music and moving on to feature his sacred cantatas and operas. It is the most comprehensive edition of Vivaldis music yet, bringing together 66 CDs showcasing hundreds of different performers and ensembles, many of them performing on period instruments as they strive to recreate the sound of the composers timbre through their researchled contemporaneous playing styles.
