Manfred Eicher: Through the Lens
by John Kelman
It begins in silence, always silence. Since the 1990s, all ECM recordings begin with five seconds of silence, and so, too, do directors Norbert Wiedmer and Peter Guyer open their feature film on the heralded German record label and its enigmatic founder, Sounds and Silence: Travels with Manfred Eicher. As longtime ECM recording artist Keith Jarrett's ...
Dino Saluzzi / Anja Lechner / Felix Saluzzi: Navidad de los Andes
by John Kelman
Most musicians work with a wide range of other collaborators over time, but only a precious few become so empathically close as to engender ongoing relationships. It's no surprise that Argentinean bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi has continued to work with his brother, saxophonist/clarinetist Felix, their genetic bond clearly apparent on Dino Saluzzi Group recordings like Juan Condori ...

Francois Couturier: Tarkovsky Quartet
by John Kelman
He may have passed away a quarter century ago, but the spirit of Russian film director Andrey Tarkovsky continues to loom large, and not just in the world of cinema. The connection between film and music has long been an intimate one, dating back to the early silent days, when pianists provided a live (and often ...

On El Ecuentro, Argentine bandoneon master Dino Saluzzi teams with saxophonist brother Felix Saluzzi and cellist Anja Lechner in a meeting with Holland's Metropole Orchestra.

Thomas Larcher – Rosamunde Quartett: IXXU
by AAJ Italy Staff
Comporre musica per quartetto d’archi è cosa ardua e faticosa, non tanto perché la letteratura su e per questa formazione è davvero tanta, quanto piuttosto per il fatto che è difficile uscire dagli schemi dei grandi maestri (che inevitabilmente condizionano il comporre e poi anche l'interpretare, facendosi sentire come ingombranti simulacri), e proporre nel panorama contemporaneo ...

Anja Lechner/Vassilis Tsaboropoulos: Chants, Hymns and Dances
by John Kelman
While it is a lesser-known fact that many great classical compositions stemmed from improvisation, performance of most classical work is much more literal, with interpretation being relegated to more subtle inflection, nuance and manner of phrasing. Rarely does such work not only expect a more active degree of improvisation from the performer, but actually demand it. ...
