Various Artists – Stockfisch Records – Closer To The Music Vol.5 (2015) SACD ISO

Just as it’s four predecessors did, the compilation „closer to the music Vol.5 “ provides an aural overview of the latest and the forthcoming Stockfisch productions – this time for 2015. More than 79 minutes of unusual recordings and fascinating music.

Starting off with introductions to the soon-to-be-released albums:

The Norwegian singer/songwriter/guitarist KERSTIN BLODIG presents her debut-album on Stockfisch. The recordings took place in a clearing in one of Germany’s largest forest areas – in Solling. The rich natural atmosphere – including birdsong & sounds from the vegetation – fits wonderfully to Kerstin’s haunting Norwegian songs and soulful acoustic-guitar playing. We have already had the pleasure of experiencing guitar legend DON ROSS as accompanist for Brooke Miller in Northeim, and now he has played in his own solo-CD. This is virtuoso guitar music coupled with a warm voice, including a cover of Sting’s “If You Love Somebody”. Stockfisch is particularly proud and happy to welcome the famous American singer-songwriter CARRIE NEWCOMER to the fold. Her rich velvety voice and heartfelt songs captivate audiences world-wide. A further international star was in Northeim: TONY CHRISTIE – yes the Tony Christie! He came to the Stockfisch studios together with the musicians from RANAGRI to make an album of Irish songs. Tony has strong Irish roots and interprets the songs with his very individual voice supported by wonderful acoustic arrangements.

But recent productions also enrich the sampler „closer to the music Vol.5“:

Naturally ALLAN TAYLOR is of course represented with a song song of his last album “All Is One”; the New York songwriter STEVE STRAUSS presents his 3rd Stockfisch album and established popular label stars DAVID ROTH and PAUL STEPHENSON let us hear excerpts from their current albums.

A very special part of this compilation are tracks 17 to 19, not just because they come from the the so-called “classical music” genre, but also because of the sound-technical aspect – a true wealth of sonic treasures – which we wanted to present to you. The LA FOLIA BAROCKORCHESTER played in violin concertos – by Vivaldi and Brescianello. Each instrument was played by only a single player – “closer to the music” par excellence! With our friends from The SPIRIT of GAMBO we went to Haarlem (NL) and did the very first (!) recording ever of the complete “First Set of Madrigals and Mottets of 5. parts“ by Orlando Gibbons. Last and certainly not least we present a piece by China’s most famous female singer, SONG ZUYING, whose album we recorded in Bejing. At the recent 57th Annual GRAMMY awards (2015) this SACD was nominated in the category “Best Surround Sound Album”.
