CLOSER TO THE MUSIC ®
VOL. 5

SFR 357.4015.2

Hybrid Stereo/Surround SACD

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 Soiling.   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 worldwide.   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 volce supported by wonderful acoustic arrangements.
