艺人介绍

Sagittarius以音乐团体的形式出现是在1998年底，当时乐队的创始人Cornelius Waldner专著专注于他所参与的黑金属乐队Hailstorm，但是Cornelius Waldner对新古典氛围有着浓烈的兴趣，初衷也是因为Cornelius Waldner想从他所喜欢的古典音乐作家Corelli, Mozart 和Beethoven音乐作品中受到启发，录制一些自己所创作的古典音乐样品，所以成立了Sagittarius。

整张专辑以凄美的钢琴曲式为主线，加上低沉迷人的男主音，非常之迷人。还加入了婉转的中古长笛等不知名乐器，但总体又非常清新古朴，曲风并不算晦涩。

仿佛时光倒流，迎面吹来的都是那神秘旷野的风...

HISTORY

The idea to form the music project which turned out to become Sagittarius evolved in the end of 1998. Back then project founder Cornelius Waldner was concentrating his musical skills on his black metal-band Hailstorm, but felt the urge and need to work more intensively with classical music and soundscapes.

After two cassette releases in 1999 and 2002, Sagittarius's debut LP "Die Große Marina" saw the day of light in April 2003, being released by the German publishing house Renovatio Verlag in 300 copies on heavy white vinyl, clad into an elegant gatefold-package. It was a conceptual composition based on Ernst Jünger´s novel "On The Marblecliffs", but should not be understood as an attempt to put the entire book into music, instead, selected scenes and passages were picked out and inspired Sagittarius during the process of creation. Apart from six own compositions, the album also included musical pieces by Ion Manzatu, Simion Lefter and Ludwig van Beethoven.

The release of "Die Große Marina" was accompanied by a few selected concerts between 2002 and 2006, Sagittarius having shared the stage with Rose Rovine e Amanti, The Days Of The Trumpet Call, Von Thronstahl, and German poet Timo Kölling.

In early 2006 Sagittarius participated in the creation of a soundtrack for the short movie "Gelegenheit Leben" and recorded new material that is featured on "Salon Décadence", a split-CD with Rose Rovine E Amanti, Tho-So-AA, Shava Sadhana, and Echo West, as well as on "Fragmente II", a private CD-release strictly limited to 50 copies.

"Songs From The Ivory Tower", the much-anticipated second Sagittarius album, was released by Cold Spring Records on May 16th, 2008. The new opus contains 15 pieces of dark neoclassical music and is mainly based on poems by Stefan George, Bernhard von Uxkull-Gyllenband, Gottfried Benn, Ludwig Uhland and Timo Kölling, plus a number of instrumental pieces, featuring guest contributions by Marcel P. (Von Thronstahl), Herr Twiggs (Kammer Sieben), Damiano Mercuri (Rose Rovine E Amanti), Troy Southgate (H.E.R.R. / Seelenlicht) and Philipp Jonas (Secrets Of The Moon).

Since June 2008 Sagittarius is a trio, Marcel P. and Dimo Dimov having joined as permanent members.
