Terry Riley - in C |
||||
Terry Riley's in C - a breathtaking and at the same time tranquilizing piece of minimal music. You can listen to it: |
||||
Mathias Claus meets Misha Steinhauer |
||||
Mathias Claus, born in Weinstadt, living in Braunschweig, is an extraordinary musician: classical virtuosity corresponds with jazz feeling at its best. |
||||
Nik Bärtsch's Ronin |
||||
The pianst himself, Nik Bärtsch from Switzerland, labels his music »Ritual Groove Music«. It's a very lively and at the same time highly intellectual kind of jazz-music. Roots could be »Minimal Music« and influences from the East. |
||||
+ Michael Brecker + |
||||
Michael Brecker is dead. He died January 13th, 2007. Friends and Musicians will him. |
||||
Bass-Men |
||||
2006 was my year of Bass-Players: Charlie Haden and Dave Holland, Barre Phillips and John Patitucci, Slawomir Kurkiewicz and Eva Kruse ... |
||||
Al Jarreau - I can just do one thing |
||||
and that's sing. |
||||
Charlie Haden |
||||
without words - just a drawing: my tribute to Charlie Haden ... |
||||
Stefano Battaglia |
||||
Stefano Battaglia's CD »Raccolto« is a very interesting journey into music. Music full of thought and construction and feeling. |
||||
Lennie Tristano - Intuition |
||||
Today I met the music of Lennie Tristano again. The blind pianist was - in my ears - a sensitive pioneer. He played Jazz and invented Jazz playing it. |
||||
Stevie Wonder »Happy Birthday« |
||||
It's not just a simple song to be heard or sung on birthdays or on air. Stevie Wonder sings about Martin Luther-King. He wanted to have a Memorial Day as a »Day of Peace«. In 1983 this came to be true. Ronald Reagan signed the law about the Martin Luther-King Memorial Day: each third Sunday in January people in the US think of this important man of the Civil Rights Movement. |
||||
Pierre Boulez - Dialogue de l'ombre double |
||||
It's an astonishing piece of modern music. The »double shadow« ist taken from a drama of Paul Claudel. Clarinet and electronical equipment in co-laboration, co-existence, co-mmunication ... |
||||
Raaf Hekkema - Saxophon |
||||
This man plays the saxophon in a way I never heard it before. His warm tone, combined with a stupend technique makes him able to play the 24 Capricies op. 1 (Nicolò Paganini) on the saxophone - and one doesn't miss the violin. |
||||
Aziza Mustafa Zadeh - »live« |
||||
On April 1st (2006) I saw Aziza live at the »Theaterhaus« in Stuttgart. It was a very impressing evening: She is a singing pianist - playing the piano and singing - at highest level, simply breathtaking! |
||||
Brad Mehldau Trio |
||||
Brad Mehldau Trio played in Stuttgart on February 27th, 2006. I wasn't there ... but a collegue of mine. She bought two CDs and lend it to me. "Day Is Done" is a very surprising buenjoying one. Every track brings a new world to the listener. |
||||
Rick Wakeman |
||||
If you want to know how important Rick is for Yes: Just compare two live-DVDs: "The House of Blues" (without Wakeman) and "Songs from Tsongas" (with Wakeman). I couldn't believe it first. He's bringing so much intensity and charcter in Yes-music! |
||||
SMS - ShortMusicStories |
||||
10 minutes of musical infotainment. That were the ShortMusicStories. Broadcastet by SWR and "LernRadio" during 2005. At the "Hoerbar" one can listen to selected issues. |
||||
Yes |
||||
The Artrock-Group with the short name and the long songs. Their opus is an own cosmos: |
||||
Mozart 2006 |
||||
In 2006 you will probably hear a lot about Mozart. If you want to hear his music - for free: Visit the mozart-archiv.de. The »Musik-Datenbak« lists almost every of his compositions with good quality sound file. Just try it! |
||||
Klaus Hoffmann |
||||
Klaus Hoffmann is my favourite german singing singer songwriter. His personal style in singing and acting is unique. He loves Jaques Brel and his hometown Berlin. |
||||
J.S. Bach - Christmas Oratorio |
||||
It's astonishing how many recordings of Bach's Christmas Oratorio work in a musical way. And it's astonishing furthermore how the music changes under the hands of the musicians and stays the same simultaneously. |
||||
Manu Katché - drumming in studios and loving Jazz |
||||
If you want to hear a drumset played in a very melodical way, there is a good choice in listening to Manu Kathcé »Neigbourhood«. It's the first Solo-CD from this well-known studio-drummer (over 300 recordings with Sting, Peter Gabriel and further more). |
||||
musical expeditions |
||||
The online issue of "Die Zeit" presents »Genreübersichten« (overview to musical genres). There are a lo of excellent chosen tracks to listen to (with QuickTime). I appreciate most: Elektronika |
||||
David Macejka - Poi for Gadje |
||||
Fascinating and powerful rhythms of oriental origin: That is what David Macejka plays on this CD. It's my favourite one these days. You can listen to some examples on his site:http://www.rishirecords.com/ |
||||
Oriental Rhythm Patterns |
||||
Oriental rhythm patterns in notation, listening example and piece of music sufers can find on http://www.bauchtanzinfo.de. It's only German, but the rhythms are international, aren't they? |
||||
Sarband - musical and cultural Ambassodors |
||||
Sarband makes one hear the connections and communications in music: between orient and ocident. They put whole tracks on their site: |
||||
Bass with power and strenght - Wolfgang Schmid |
||||
Wolfgang Schmid participated in over 400 recordings. He plays the bass in a unique and powerful way. Just listen to Ringanding Dang on »Special Kick« from 2002. After a few seconds you get to know him and his bass ;-) |

||||
Jordi Savall is well known as an expert and specialist on iberian anient music with Hesperion XX. Moreover he also has been involved in the soundtrack of TOUS LES MATINS DU MONDE. You can listen to examples on http://www.musicolog.com/s_tousles.asp |
||||
Old McDonald Had a Farm - on percussion |
||||
Brent Lewis CD »Rhythm Basket« brings to you a lot of nursery rhymes played on tuned drums. It's exciting to listen. I can't stop singing and dancing. Music for a full recreation. |
||||
Rebbekka Bakken |
||||
Rebekka Bakken is an upcoming jazz-singer. She har great potentials to become a great one. The proof therefore is »Why do all the good guys get the dragons«. An extraordinary take-up of »Where Have All The Flowers Gone«. |
||||
Pe Werner - german singersongwriter |
||||
Pe Werner is a champion in playing on words. Here german songs are a symbiosis of lyrics and music. If you want to join here lyrical universe you can visit: |
||||
Gustav Mahler - Adagietto form the 5th Symhony |
||||
Probably the most popular piece of Mahler's music is the »Adagietto« from his 5th Symphony. Visconti used for his movie »Der Tod in Venedig« (Dead in Venice), an adaption of Thomas Mann's famous narration. |
||||
Prince - one King of Music |
||||
Prince and his CD »Musicology« are like a school book and encyclopedia for pop music at its best. |

pandora.com |
||||
A great possibilty to enrich your knowledge of special musical styles is: www.pandora.com. You type in a song or an artist. Pandora suggest "similar" songs ... |
||||
Steve Reich - minimax |
||||
»Minimal Music« with a maximum of impression: that is Steve Reich's Music. On his site you can watch an old video of »Clapping Music«. I think the performance helos to understand this music. |

||||
Six excellent singers with always excellent arrangements are: Take6. They have got a well-designed site with a lot of material for fans: interviews, songs and videos, transcriptions and more. |
||||
Annette Lowman |
||||
I had the great pleasure to see Annette Lowman »live«. This was about 8 years ago in Schwäbisch Gmünd with the Wolf Mayer Trio. On her site there are some samples: Good to get to know her extraordinary voice and vocal charism. |
||||
Carl Nielsen - not just for insiders |
||||
My contribution to the latest Nielsen-Renaissance. There are very satisfying parts of his »Seven Pieces from Alladin« on: http://www.ius.edu/Music/audio.htm. That is a good possibility to get in touch with his music. |
||||
Les DÉSaxÉS - musical comedy on saxes |
||||
They are fantastic! Music and humour and action in perfect cooperation. In German TV you can watch a part of their show from 1999 at the »Kleinkunstfestival Mainz«. Further Informations: http://www.theaterkanal.de/fernsehen/monat/les_deacutesaxeacutesmusikcomedy_aus_frankreich |

||||
Christoph Schoepsdau - New York Mass |
||||
You can download samples of this wonderful piece of choral music on www.newyorkmass.com. Schoepsdau composed an inspired work with deep sensuality and great power. Hope it will be with great influence for the contemporary music in churches. |
||||
Aziza Mustafa Zadeh |
||||
Just listen to Aziza Mustafa Zadeh whenever you have the chance to. Her very personal mixture of classical-jazz-fol (from Azerbaijan) is unique and often fantastic! |
||||
Tori Amos - full of strenght |
||||
Tori Amos is one of my favourite singersongwriters. She combines excellent and expressive music with sometimes strange, sometimes deep lyrics. I recommend to you her latest CD: The Beekeeper. |
||||
Gospel Meets Soul - Felicia Taylor |
||||
2004 Gospel Award Winner Felicia Taylor sings Gospel with richness in depth and soulfullness. Her new CD »Gospel Meets Soul« is a wonderful example for her talent and ableness. |
||||
Steve Vai |
||||
I like the music of Steve Vai. It's very strong, many-sided and helps to get rid of bad thoughts. This days tipp is for: Steve Vai Fire Garden. You can listen to parts on his site oder you can watch some videos: |
||||
preparing for holiday with music for holidays |
||||
Bod Wartke plays piano and makes satirical revues. There's a very sophisticated love song on his site »Liebeslied« (German: Lovesong), which you may enjoy without understanding everything. It's in many languages. |
||||
Opera - for Newbies |
||||
On Tim Lange's site one can listen to short - but execellent produced - introductions to six operas. Best of them are »The Magic Flute« and »La Traviata«. Tim Lange combines text and music in a very sensitive way. You get ton know the first act in about seven minutes. But the texts are only German. |
||||
David Sanborn - many-sided on Saxophon |
||||
David Sanborn's studio job with well-known German singer Nena made me knowing him. The best of all his CDs - in my opinion a absolute must have - is |
||||

||||
On Friday Jean Michel Jarre gave a great concert in Danzig. Over 100 000 people attended it. It was to honour the Polish Union "Solidarnosc". |
||||
The Feeling - Annett Louisan |
||||
This days tip introduces »Das Gefühl« (The Feeling) from Annett Louisan. She is a young German singer-songwriter with a soft and somehow normal voice. But her lyrics sometimes sound quite opposite. |
