Kantonsschule Menzingen

Das ehemalige Lehrerinnenseminar Bernarda in Menzingen wurde von1955 bis 1958 von den beiden renommierten Zuger Architektenteams um Hanns A. Brütsch und Alois Stadler sowie um Leo Hafner und Alfons Wiederkehr gebaut. Die Schulanlage auf einer Hügelkuppe inmitten der reizvollen Landschaft zwischen Zuger- und Zürichsee ist ein ausserordentliches Beispiel der Schweizer Architektur der 1950er-Jahre. Die Anlage überzeugt durch die Inszenierung ihrer exponierten Lage, der stimmigen Anordnung von fünf stark individualisierten Gebäude um eine kreuzgangartige Mitte sowie durch die eindrückliche Gestaltung der Aussenräume des Gartenarchitekten Ernst Cramer.Von 2017 bis 2019 wurde die Anlage durch die Zürcher Artchitekten Bünzli & Courvoisier beispielhaft erneuert und erweitert. Das Projekt orientierte sich einerseits stark an den städtebaulichen und architektonischen Gestaltungsprinzipien des Bestands, andererseits entwickelte das Büro den Baubestand collageartig weiter und verlieh der Anlage so eine respektvoll inszenierte erweiterte Dramaturgie. Das Buch dokumentiert zum einen die ursprüngliche Anlage mit Originalplänen und scharf geschnittenen, schwarz-weissen Aufnahmen des bekannten Luzerner Fotografen Peter Ammon. Zum anderen reflektiert und dokumentiert das Buch ausführlich die spannende, vorbildhafte Erneuerung der Anlage.Menzingen Cantonal School Renovation of a post-war Modern gemThe former Bernarda teacher training college in Menzingen was built between 1955 and 1958 by the two renowned Zug architectural teams of Hanns A. Brütsch and Alois Stadler, and Leo Hafner and Alfons Wiederkehr. The school on a gentle slope in the midst of the attractive landscape between Lake Zug and Lake Zurich is an exceptional example of 1950s Swiss architecture. The facility impresses with its staging of the exposed location, the coherent arrangement of five highly individualised buildings around a circular centre, and the notable design of the open spaces by Ernst Kramer.Between 2017 and 2019, the facility was renovated and extended in exemplary fashion by the Zurich architectural team Bünzli & Courvoisier. On the one hand, the project is strongly orientated towards the urban-planning and architectural design principles of the existing building. On the other, the architects develop the existing structures further like a collage, thereby giving the school a respectfully staged, extended dramatic quality. The book documents the existing facility with original plans and the clear-contoured, black & white pictures by the renowned Lucerne photographer Peter Ammon. Furthermore, the volume extensively reflects upon and documents in detail the school's exciting, exemplary renovation.

A Scottish Lady Mass

"What impresses most in Red Byrd's approach is the way the clear rhythmicization of the musical phrases is yet so independent of any sense of regular, restrictive beat, this fluidity does not, however, prevent a formidably accurate sense of co-ordination" (Early Music)

Nada-Ananda

Simon Thacker and The Nava Rasa Ensemble is a nine piece virtuoso ensemble innovating on the meeting of Asian and Western cultures. Nada Ananda features the world première recordings of major guitar led works by Shirish Korde, an Indian composer who has forged a compelling and distinctive voice in the West with his native music as a basis, and Nigel Osborne, a great Western composer profoundly influenced by Indian music, for an all star nine piece instrumental ensemble made up of leading performers from both cultures. Acclaimed as 'a mesmerising melding of old and new, Indian and Western' (The Classical Review) and 'a bold and highly successful project that fuses imaginative improvisation and virtuosity within a compelling sequence' (The List), The Nava Rasa Ensemble's Nada-Ananda album release has been acclaimed across the world and features nine musicians of the highest calibre representing three continents: Simon Thacker on guitar, Carnatic (South Indian) violinist Jyotsna Srikanth, Hindustani (North Indian) tabla master Sarvar Sabri, Scotland's leading string quartet the Edinburgh Quartet, Brazilian bass dynamo Mario Caribé and renowned multi-percussionist Iain Sandilands. Shirish's Nada Ananda ['the joy of sound'] concerto for guitar and chamber ensemble, is in three movements. The first movement is in the style of a North Indian Alap and the guitar writing the explores the expressive possibilities and colours of the instrument, combining the ornamentations and figurations of the sitar with the timbre of the classical guitar. The first and the second movement are based on the raga Lalit which, according to Indian music theory, is generally played at daybreak. The third movement, Joy, sees extended cadenzas for the guitar, Indian violin and tabla lead to an explosive climax for the whole ensemble. Nigel's The Birth of Naciketas for guitar concertante is based on an episode in the Upanishads where Naciketa's mother dies in childbirth and his father makes a bargain with Death to save his son's life. The work is based on the ten thaats, or scale patterns, which are considered by many to have been the forerunners of the raags of Indian classical music. The piece's ten sections correspond to the tenthaats in a 24-hour cycle related to the times of day associated with the scale patterns. These ten sections fall into five main movements. The Birth of Naciketas continues Nigel's search for an Indian classical modernism. What the critics said: Classical Music Sentinel 'The musicianship on this recording is quite remarkable. Guitarist Simon Thacker transcends the instrument and persuades it to produce music loaded with subtle nuances and character... A veritable melting pot of styles and influences that have truly merged into one.' The List 'Shirish Korde's Nada-Ananda concerto allows classical guitarist Simon Thacker ...to show just how invigorating music can be when it draws it's sensibilities from a host of styles, releasing it from the inhibitions of genre pigeon-holing.' Music Web International 'I was deeply impressed by this disc - not just by the undeniably high standard of musicianship throughout, but also by the fascinating, accessible and interesting compositions, which demonstrate that successful collaboration between Eastern and Western music is, indeed, possible.' The Classical Review 'What particularly impresses is the sheer cohesion of the playing, with Thacker proving an acutely stylish and sensitive fulcrum for an often mesmerising melding of old and new, Indian and Western.' Classical Music Magazine 'Here's an east-west inversion: gentle spirituality from Nigel Osborne's work for 'guitar concertante', and jazz with real swing in Shirish Korde's concerto, where the virtuosity of Thacker is matched by sizzling sounds from Jyotsna Srikanth's Indian violin and Sarvar Sabri's tabla playing'. The Guardian 'The third movement, in particular, is an exuberant virtuoso display of rhythmic complexity. Nada Ananda means joy of sound, an idea Korde captured in his music.' Hi-arts 'The extraordinary range of cultural influences, musical forms and emotional states in the selected works were beautifully fluid and seamlessly communicated by Thacker and his fellow musicians.' Gendai Guitar Japan 'An ambitious project which has proven very successful because of the musicianship and devotion of Simon Thacker....Just looking at all these musicians on stage with their instruments one experienced a heightened sense of anticipation, which was fulfilled in performance.' The Scotsman 'Take one eclectically minded classical guitarist from East Lothian, grant him charge of an ensemble comprising two Indian virtuosi on violin and tabla drums, one of Scotland's leading string quartets, a Scottish-based Brazilian jazz bassist and a cross-genre percussionist and... The result is music of sinuous beauty.' Musical Pointers 'This is captivating and highly recommended to our readers. Simon Thacker is a fine guitarist who has been devoting himself to exploring meetings of Indian and Western cultures with an outstanding intercultural ensemble.' Inside World Music 'Simon Thacker, is a stunning, Scottish performer of Western, European, and South Asian musical styles.....The mix of classical and Indian music is brilliant, moving, and creative.' Sunday Herald 'Simon Thacker is a musician who has always seen his instrument as international and his classical training as the portal to expressing a whole world of music. His Camerata Ritmata group explores jazz, Spanish and Brazilian influences, among others, and with the Nava Rasa Ensemble - featuring string quartet alongside Indian masters, bass and percussion - he goes right to the heart of Indian music' Songlines Magazine 'The virtuosity of the musicians on display here is not in question, and their ability to play as an ensemble is most impressive.'

Varvara Tarasova plays Schumann & Brahms

Varvara speaks of her ambitions behind the disc: "Since the beginning of my professional life, I always dreamed of playing the work of Brahms. His music is deeply intense and emotionally very strong, similar with Schumann but for another reason, the bright images and wide range of characters from his Carnival op.9 grab the audiences attention and the music impresses with its perfection and variety."

Land of Plenty

Delivering twelve tracks worth of deeply harmonic and engaging music that ably blends elements of twangy country, rootsy folk, and rousing rock into one hell of a rich, tasty, and arresting sonic stew, this album certainly hits the stirring and melodic spot somethin' sweet. The nasal and reedy, yet pleasant and affecting vocals convey emotion with exquisite clarity and galvanizing vitality. The arrangements keep things tuneful and hoppin' throughout. The smart and thoughtful songwriting likewise impresses with it's strong sense of economy and refreshing dearth of sappy sentiment. Best of all, there's a real sweet warmth and glowing humanity that rings through loud and clear in every last radiant note. A lovely and touching slice of pure heartfelt Americana. Joe Wawrzyniak - Jersey Beat "There are bands that have a timeless quality to their music, and there are bands that are clearly tethered to a certain generation. The Redemption Center is a band that strikes a balance between the two, being both timeless and timely. The music, a mix between the jangle pop of the Gin Blossoms and country twang of Ryan Adams, makes for interesting results on Land of Plenty." Eric Farwell, The Aquarian Weekly 'The new record 'Land Of Plenty' is an instantly engaging blend of gritty hooks, intelligent lyrics and heartfelt vocals. Smith's soulful song-craft is a great addition to the roots rock world and fans of Steve Earle and the Vigilantes Of Love are sure to be pleased.' Nick Young - Burning Daylight (Jun 17, 2010) 'The Redemption Center breathes new vitality into 'Heartland Rock', aided by effective and lively playing which sustains the intensity that the form requires. Add to this some compelling and sneakily uplifting lyrics delivered with a distinctive voice that oozes personality and you get music that you'll want to go back to again and again.' 'Nice work, and no surprise. I'm already a fan of 'The Boy Who Shed His Skin', a song that can easily stand comparison with the work of Mark Heard or T-Bone Burnett!The lyrics are thoughtful and manage to be complex without being unwieldy. ' Songwriter - Melbourne,Australia - DC Cardwell (Jan 5, 2010) 'An amalgam of rock,gospel,roots and folk. Rural but not Country. Lyrically intelligent, musically relevant.Looking ahead while tipping the hat to earlier influences.This music would fit comfortable in the Americana genre, if not for the pop and rock seasoning.' The Blind Armadillo (Sep 4, 2009)
