Fugue on a Theme by Corelli - BWV 579 - For Solo Organ (1710)

Johann Sebastian Bach

Maison d'édition: Classic Music Collection

Synopsis

Johann Sebastian Bach (1685 – 1750) was a German musician and composer during the Baroque period. He based his work on existing German styles but often adopted and adapted textures, rhythms, and forms from other countries, especially from Italy and France. Although his music was celebrated for its technical mastery, artistic beauty, and intellectual profundity during his lifetime, it was not until the 19th century that he was considered a great composer. Today, he is generally recognised as being one of the most important composers to have ever lived. Classic Music Collection constitutes an extensive library of the most well-known and universally-enjoyed works of classical music ever composed, reproduced from authoritative editions for the enjoyment of musicians and music students the world over.

The Rivals - A Radio Dramatization

Richard Brinsley Sheridan

The Rivals has been delighting audiences since its very first presentation at London's Covent Garden Theatre on January 17th, 1775.

Morning Star - Surrealism...

Michael Löwy

The acclaimed author of On Changing the World examines the ways in which surrealism intersects with a variety of revolutionary political approaches.   In this expanded edition, the luminary critical theorist dismisses the limited notion of surrealism as a purely artistic movement, repositioning surrealism as a force in radical political ideologies, ranging from utopian ideals to Marxism and situationism.   Taking its title from André Breton’s essay “Arcane 17,” which casts the star as the searing firebrand of rebellion, Michael Löwy’s provocative work spans many perspectives. These include surrealist artists who were deeply interested in Marxism and anarchism (Breton among them), as well as Marxists who were deeply interested in surrealism (Walter Benjamin in particular).   Probing the dialectics of innovation, diversity, continuity, and unity throughout surrealism’s international presence, Morning Star also incorporates analyses of Claude Cahun, Guy Debord, Pierre Naville, José Carlos Mariátegui and others, accompanied by numerous reproductions of surrealist art. An extraordinarily rich collection, Morning Star promises to ignite new dialogues regarding the very nature of dissent.  Praise for On Changing the World   “His collection of essays, combining scholarship with passion, impresses by its sweep and scope.” —Daniel Singer, author of Prelude to Revolution   “Michael Löwy is unquestionably a tremendous figure in the decades-long attempt to recover an authentic revolutionary tradition from the wreckage of Stalinism, and these essays are very often powerful examples of this process.” —Dominic Alexander, Counterfire
