Divertimenti Movie Review

Average Rating: (5 out of 5 stars) 5 stars

5 stars Great Music Making
This disc know as "Divertimenti" with Gimse and the Trondheim Solistene has music of Britten, Bacewicz, Bjorlund, and Bartok. All the works recieve really good and sensitive performances, espeicailly the Bjorklund. The sound on both the SACD Hybrid disc and the Blu-Ray disc can best be described as amazing. The use of surround is done brilliantly. The folks at 2L really know what they are doing. By the way the Blu-Ray disc is muisc only no video, except the music guide.

Divertimenti DVD

The divertimento as a musical genre dates back to the nineteenth century. Divertimenti were composed for various social occasions and were intended to be light, uncomplicated and cheerful. Such pieces were often scored for small string ensemble. Over the years this effortless, elegant form has appeared in many different musical styles and, to a large extent, set the standard for the virtuosic chamber music we know today. A number of the most prominent composers of our age have engaged with this most fascinating musical style and have contributed to its further refinement as a chamber-symphonic showpiece.

The Moody Blues' first real attempt at a harder rock sound still has some psychedelic elements, but they're achieved with an overall leaner studio sound. The group was trying to take stock of itself at this time, and came up with some surprisingly strong, lean numbers (Michael Pinder's Mellotron is surprisingly restrained until the final number, "The Balance"), which also embraced politics for the first time ...

The 1997 remastering of this disc somewhat improves the sound on the band's most personal album, although the difference is less dramatic than on the other classic seven albums, and fans may miss the lyrics that were formerly included. Oddly enough, this was also the group's poorest-selling album of their psychedelic era, taking a lot longer to go gold -- for all of their presumed connection to their audience, the band was perhaps stretching that link a little thinner than usual here. The material dwells mostly on time and what its passage means, and there is a peculiar feeling of loneliness and ...

They haven't thrown out their LSD-soaked playbook entirely--there are still some nods to MEDDLE-era ...
