Enrico Rava: To Be Free or Not To Be Free

Read "Enrico Rava: To Be Free or Not To Be Free" reviewed by Ian Patterson

by Ian Patterson

Freedom, it could be argued, is most deeply understood by those who have been somehow constrained against their will, or who have been prisoners of their own skewed vision of what it means to be free. Trumpeter Enrico Rava knows the meaning of musical freedom; he was part of the free-jazz scene of the 1960s and ...

Manfred Eicher: Through the Lens

Read "Manfred Eicher: Through the Lens" reviewed by John Kelman

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 ...

Ricardo Villalobos / Max Loderbauer: Re: ECM

Read "Re: ECM" reviewed by David McLean

by David McLean

Over the past decade or so, the ECM label has been flirting with elements of electronic music in varying degrees.

Since then, subtle machinations have crept into other ...

Arvo Part: Tabula Rasa

Read "Arvo Part: Tabula Rasa" reviewed by Nenad Georgievski

by Nenad Georgievski

Various composers have surfaced in recent times with brilliant compositions, but their work has not adhered to any of the schools of composition that make up the 20th century classical music.
