  End of Watch: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 773min

  The spectacular finale to the New York Times best-selling trilogy that began with Mr. Mercedes (winner of the Edgar Award) and Finders Keepers 2017 Audie Award Finalist for Fiction and Best Male Narrator In End of Watch, the diabolical "Mercedes Killer" drives his enemies to suicide, and if Bill Hodges and Holly Gibney don't figure out a way to stop him, they'll be victims themselves. In Room 217 of the Lakes Region Traumatic Brain Injury Clinic, something has awakened. Something evil. Brady Hartsfield, perpetrator of the Mercedes Massacre, where eight people were killed and many more were badly injured, has been in the clinic for five years, in a vegetative state. According to his doctors, anything approaching a complete recovery is unlikely. But behind the drool and stare, Brady is awake and in possession of deadly new powers that allow him to wreak unimaginable havoc without ever leaving his hospital room. Retired police detective Bill Hodges, the unlikely hero of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers, now runs an investigation agency with his partner, Holly Gibney - the woman who delivered the blow to Hartsfield's head that put him in the brain injury ward. When Bill and Holly are called to a suicide scene with ties to the Mercedes Massacre, they find themselves pulled into their most dangerous case yet, one that will put their lives at risk as well as those of Bill's heroic young friend, Jerome Robinson, and his teenage sister, Barbara. Brady Hartsfield is back and planning revenge not just on Hodges and his friends but on an entire city. In End of Watch, Stephen King brings the Hodges trilogy to a sublimely terrifying conclusion, combining the detective fiction of Mr. Mercedes and Finders Keepers with the heart-pounding supernatural suspense that has been his best-selling trademark. The result is an unnerving look at human vulnerability and chilling suspense. No ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Will Patton.

  My Name Is Lucy Barton: A Novel , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 251min

  Number-one New York Times best sellerA simple hospital visit becomes a portal to the tender relationship between mother and daughter in this extraordinary novel by the Pulitzer Prize-winning author of Olive Kitteridge and The Burgess Boys.Named one of the best books of the year by The Washington Post, The New York Times Book Review, NPR, BookPage, LibraryReads, Minneapolis Star Tribune, and St. Louis Post-Dispatch.Lucy Barton is recovering slowly from what should have been a simple operation. Her mother, to whom she hasn't spoken for many years, comes to see her. Gentle gossip about people from Lucy's childhood in Amgash, Illinois, seems to reconnect them, but just below the surface lie the tension and longing that have informed every aspect of Lucy's life: her escape from her troubled family, her desire to become a writer, her marriage, her love for her two daughters. Knitting this powerful narrative together is the brilliant storytelling voice of Lucy herself: keenly observant, deeply human, and truly unforgettable. Longlisted for the Man Booker Prize “A quiet, sublimely merciful contemporary novel about love, yearning, and resilience in a family damaged beyond words.” (The Boston Globe)“It is Lucy’s gentle honesty, complex relationship with her husband, and nuanced response to her mother’s shortcomings that make this novel so subtly powerful.” (San Francisco Chronicle)“A short novel about love, particularly the complicated love between mothers and daughters, but also simpler, more sudden bonds... It evokes these connections in a style so spare, so pure and so profound the book almost seems to be a kind of scripture or sutra, if a very down-to-earth and unpretentious one.” (Newsday)“Spectacular.... Smart and cagey in every way. It is both a book of withholdings and a book of great openness and wisdom.... [Strout] is ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Kimberly Farr.

  Klaviersonaten D 575 & D 625/+

  "Not just a case of the performer subordinating himself to the composer, but of both, united in the service of music's greatest miracle - an entire attitude to life encapsulated in sound. From the opening phrases of each it is clear that his sights are set on long-term processes - this is not playing which depicts, rather it maps out a journey of the spirit....same total concentration and inner intensity as the sonatas, the last extends sublimely to a hypnotic 11.48!"

  Magic Glass

  Bach was an inventor of sound. In addition to his innovatively complex harmonies, counterpoint, and melodic voicing, he used the organ to astonish, allowing the instrument to "breathe" with unconventional stop configurations. Through transcription we often hear the emotional content of a composer's work sublimely infused within the timbre of alternative orchestration. On the other side of the scale there is the quest for authenticity through performance on traditional or period instruments. Whether it is through Bach's experimentation, our contemporary expectations, nostalgic recreation, or transcription, the fundamental significance of the music is what shines through. This work is my effort to capture that significance and convey the spirit of Bach through the infinite sound spectrum of 21st century synthesizers.

  Chopin Piano Music

  Frederic Chopin was born near Warsaw in 1810. He was a child prodigy who published his first piece a Polonaise at seven. He received an excellent general education in Poland but left at twenty to further his career and never returned. He spent almost all his adult life in Paris where he died of TB in 1849, but his love for Poland stayed with him, as his many Polish dances - Mazurkas and Polonaises - so clearly demonstrate. Chopin has been called the 'Poet of the Piano', having never written anything which did not involve this instrument. Mazurkas Chopin wrote more than 55 Mazurkas, his final compositions were two Mazurkas. The Mazurka is a dance in 3/4 time similar to a waltz, but characterized by a strong accent on either the second or third beat or a dotted first beat. Chopin's Mazurkas evoke the Polish spirit without using actual folk melodies. The Mazurka in B-flat, Opus 7, no. 1, is one of the most popular with it's scherzando theme. Opus 63, no. 2 in F minor, published in 1847, has a lingering sadness and elegiac sound caused by sharp dissonances, chromatic passing tones, and suspensions. Opus 63, no. 3 in C-sharp minor, is eloquently lyrical and concludes with a display of Chopin's contrapuntal skill: a perfect canon at the octave. Opus 67, no. 3 in C major of 1835 is a dancing tune, although Chopin stated that the Mazurkas, like the Waltzes, were not intended for dancing. Opus 68, no. 2 in A minor, written in 1827, is the earliest of the group despite it's highest opus number. Scherzo in E Major, Opus 54 This Scherzo, the last of the four Chopin wrote, was published in 1843. It is more truly a Scherzo (literally, a joke) than the others, which are stormy and in minor key. It is playful, with a lightness rare in Chopin's larger works. The middle section has a poignant melody, and the Coda with scales running the length of the keyboard, brings the work to a brilliant conclusion. Nocturnes Nocturne is a French word indicating 'night piece'. Chopin did not invent the Nocturne, though his are best known. They range from the delicate to dramatic, and are generally in three - part form: ABA. Opus 15, No. 2 in F-sharp major. 1830-31, is among the most popular. The opening section contains one of Chopin's loveliest melodies, while the middle section, 'Doppio Movimento', is turbulent and passionate. Opus 27, no. 1 in C-sharp minor of 1840, is one of Chopin's greatest works in this form. This opus is tragic and menacing, opening with a chromatic melody. The middle section, marked 'Piu mosso', is restless and agitated. Ballade in F minor, Opus 52 Like the Scherzos, there are four Ballades. The F minor is the last. The Ballades were published between 1836 and 1843. Opus 52 is a narrative on a heroic scale. Chopin is at his most intimate and also most tragic. The opening melody has the charm of a slow, mournful waltz, but the piece is also exalted, intense and sublimely powerful, ending with a stormy, bravura coda. Lorraine Falberg Fuchs, a native New Yorker, appears regularly with chamber music groups and in solo performances. She started piano studies at the age of three, giving her first solo recital in Steinway Hall at age six. Ms. Fuchs was a semi-finalist in the first Van Cliburn Amateur Competition and was a finalist in competitions in Paris, New York and New Jersey.

  Nicole (86 Spring And Summer Collec

  1986 anlässlich einer Modensschau verteilt erfährt ein weiterer Gral der japanischen Ambient/Jazz/Neoklassik den ersten offiziellen Release. Zeitlos. Subtil. Angenehm. WRWTFWW Records is proud to announce the release of Jun Fukamachi's highly coveted Nicole (86 Spring And Summer Collection - Instrumental Images) album, originally recorded in 1986 for celebrated fashion designer Mitsuhiro Matsuda's Nicole clothing brand and never officially available before. Only ever distributed as a limited promotional item offered to attendees and participants of the 1986 fashion show for the Nicole brand's Spring and Summer collection, Fukamachi's moody magnum opus has become a sort of Holy Grail for fans of Japanese ambient, jazz, and synth music alike...and rightly so! Meticulously conceived, smooth and subtle, Nicole sounds like it came from an ethereal land where Erik Satie and Art of Noise lived together, a sublimely cinematic listening experience perhaps best described by renowned Japanese music writer Masaharu Yoshioka aka The Soul Searcher: If you are driving down the Autobahn at 160 km/h, or even 80 km/h, and Jun's music starts playing on the car stereo, the windshield will instantly turn into your own personal silver screen. Nicole is available in two versions: a vinyl LP cut at Emil Berliner Studios, housed in a kraft sleeve similar to the original promo-only release, and a kraft digipak CD version. Both versions were made in cooperation of the artists's estate and come with new liner notes by Masaharu Yoshioka.
