Tom Arthurs and Richard Fairhurst: Postcards from Pushkin
Il cuore dell'album ruota attorno al suono, splendidamente reso dalle volte e dalle pietre medioevali della chiesa di St Gilles Cripplegate a Londra e dallo Steinway D Concert Gran Piano utilizzato da Fairhurst, ma anche attorno al silenzio. Proprio suono e silenzio trovano simbiosi perfetta in "Solo," cinque minuti abbondanti nei quali il flicorno non accompagnato risuona di suggestioni arcane esplorando lo spazio circostante ed amplificandone le risonanza.
La musica che si ascolta in Postcards from Pushkin è stata composta, afferma Arthurs nelle note di copertina, in un momento di calma e di riflessione. È permeata, aggiungiamo noi, di romanticismo e di toni crepuscolari, non scuote il corpo e non fa battere il tempo con il piede ma, accolta con animo aperto, sa arrivare dritta al cuore.
