Ivo Perelman: Armageddon Flower

by John Sharpe
August 8, 2025

Pianist Matthew Shipp serves as the fulcrum of Armageddon Flower, a riveting quartet date that unites two longstanding units: the duo with tenor saxophonist Ivo Perelman, and his String Trio with violist Mat Maneri and bassist William Parker. However, no-one is confined by past roles. Each of these four players has collaborated in multiple configurations over the last three decades.

AngelicA 35 a Bologna e Modena

by Libero Farnè
June 9, 2025

AngelicA 35 Festival Internazionale di Musica Bologna, Modena Varie sedi 30 aprile--31 maggio 2025 Da sempre il festival bolognese permette di assistere alle più varie esperienze musicali dell'attualità, senza vincolarsi a generi, autori o prassi esecutive. Ma forse un limite se lo è imposto Massimo Simonini, infaticabile e coerente direttore artistico: quello di evitare sempre qualsiasi espressione del già affermato mainstream, del “popular" ormai troppo consolidato e riconosciuto. Una prerogativa di AngelicA è ...
