Descrizione
PREMESSA: LA SUPERIORITA’ DELLA MUSICA SU VINILE E’ ANCOR OGGI SANCITA, NOTORIA ED EVIDENTE. NON TANTO DA UN PUNTO DI VISTA DI RESA, QUALITA’ E PULIZIA DEL SUONO, TANTOMENO DA QUELLO DEL RIMPIANTO RETROSPETTIVO E NOSTALGICO , MA SOPRATTUTTO DA QUELLO PIU’ PALPABILE ED INOPPUGNABILE DELL’ ESSENZA, DELL’ ANIMA E DELLA SUBLIMAZIONE CREATIVA. IL DISCO IN VINILE HA PULSAZIONE ARTISTICA, PASSIONE ARMONICA E SPLENDORE GRAFICO , E’ PIACEVOLE DA OSSERVARE E DA TENERE IN MANO, RISPLENDE, PROFUMA E VIBRA DI VITA, DI EMOZIONE E DI SENSIBILITA’. E’ TUTTO QUELLO CHE NON E’ E NON POTRA’ MAI ESSERE IL CD, CHE AL CONTRARIO E’ SOLO UN OGGETTO MERAMENTE COMMERCIALE, POVERO, ARIDO, CINICO, STERILE ED ORWELLIANO, UNA DEGENERAZIONE INDUSTRIALE SCHIZOFRENICA E NECROFILA, LA DESOLANTE SOLUZIONE FINALE DELL’ AVIDITA’ DEL MERCATO E DELL’ ARROGANZA DEI DISCOGRAFICI .

The piano performances by David Lanz and acoustic instruments by Eric
Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel blend together beautifully to give a very
relaxing and wholesome listening experience. Recommended for fans of
Lanz, Tingstad/Rumbel and everyone who likes new age piano and acoustic
music.
Legends is a wonderful LP by Eric Tingstad and Nancy Rumbel. They recorded it before they became legends. Indeed, they are legends
in the realm of acoustic ambience. This music is timeless; it
transcends levels beyond mere wonderment. The smooth acoustics are
gentle and melodic. Tingstad & Rumbel were definitely prognosticating when they titled this album. It is the predecessor to years of greatness from this duo.
Narada recording artists Tingstad & Rumbel are performer/composers who have been presenting their contemporary folk music throughout North America since the mid-’80s. Eric Tingstad, a classical guitarist, and Nancy Rumbel,
who plays oboe, English horn, and ocarina, began their association
after meeting at a music festival in the Pacific Northwest. They were
drawn together by a shared interest in applying their instruments
outside their traditional settings, integrating ethnic, jazz, rock, and
other contemporary influences into their classical backgrounds. Their
neo-classical instrumentals mixed with a warm folk treatment has been
called “Northwestern Impressionism” and brought the attention of new age
label Narada who released their holiday-themed album, The Gift,
in 1985. Extensive touring throughout small towns in the U.S. and
Canada built an avid fan base, expanding their exposure to new and more
diverse audiences. Both artists have also released solo albums (Tingstad‘s Renewal in 1992 and A Sense of Place in 1995, and Rumbel‘s Notes From the Tree of Life), but their greatest successes have come from their collaborations, notably Pastorale released in 1997, and 1998’s American Acoustic, which both debuted at number one on new age voice radio.
