Tigran Mansurian: Quasi Parlando
by Hrayr Attarian
Armenian composer Tigran Mansurian's poignant and introspective Quasi Parlando on ECM consists of four string concertos. Two penned almost three decades apart and two others that he wrote specifically for each of the soloists on the album; violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaja and cellist Anja Lechner. The unifying theme of this splendid disc, and one that recurs throughout ...
Duo Gazzana: Poulenc Walton Dallapiccola Schnittke Silvestrov
by Hrayr Attarian
The unifying theme of Italian sisters, violinist Natascia Gazzana and pianist Raffaella Gazzana's second release is a celebration of neoclassicism in modern music. The Duo Gazzana performs five 20th and 21st century compositions that, in one manner or another, draw inspiration from mostly the Baroque era.The focal point of the album is one of ...
Jean-Louis Matinier / Marco Ambrosini: Inventio
by John Kelman
By this point heading for longstanding status with ECM Records, it's always intriguing to follow an artist through the label's discography, as one relationship seems to lead, inevitably, to another. While French accordionist Jean-Louis Matinier made his first appearance with the label on fellow Frenchman Louis Sclavis' Dans La Nuit (2000), it was his tenure with ...
Ketil Bjornstad: Ketil Bjornstad: Sunrise (A cantata on texts by Edvard Munch)
by John Kelman
For a country with such a small population, Norway has much to be proud of when it comes to the arts...and not just music, though it remains a country whose support has certainly resulted in a disproportionate number of creative musicians across the broadest musical spectrum. Looking at the violin and its variants alone, there is ...
Benedicte Maurseth, Åsne Valland Nordli: Over Tones
by Alberto Bazzurro
Ha le stimmate della musica di tradizione popolare, però con un aplomb decisamente “colto," questo album delle due giovani artiste norvegesi, sia che al centro delle operazioni ci siano temi effettivamente tradizionali (quattro), sia composizioni originali (sette). Voce e Hardanger fiddle--che è poi l'antico violino norvegese, molto simile a quello canonico, però con ...
Dino Saluzzi Group: El Valle de la Infancia
by John Kelman
In his 32-year relationship with ECM Records, Argentinean bandoneonist Dino Saluzzi has explored many paths--paths upon which he has rarely traveled more than once, even if there were certain road marks common to them all. A pair of trio recordings with his son, guitarist José Maria Saluzzi, employed two different bassists--Marc Johnson on 1997's Cité de ...
Keith Jarrett, Charlie Haden: Last Dance
by Mario Calvitti
Dopo una decina d'anni di stretta e continua collaborazione, tra il 1967 di Life Between the Exit Signs (esordio da leader del ventenne pianista in trio) e il 1976 di Eyes of the Heart e Survivors Suite (ultimi frutti del cosiddetto 'American Quartet'), le strade di Keith Jarrett e Charlie Haden erano rimaste separate per più ...
Wolfgang Muthspiel: Driftwood
by John Kelman
Since studying at Berklee College of Music and returning to his home in Austria--though not before releasing a number of American-based recordings either on his own or as a member of bands led by people like Gary Burton, Marc Johnson and Patricia Barber--guitarist Wolfgang Muthspiel has largely been focusing on his career through Material Records, the ...
Jacob Young: Forever Young
by John Kelman
While all groups aim for the kind of collective chemistry that can make, for example, five people speak with a single voice, how they get there can vary significantly. In some cases there's instantaneous chemistry; in other cases, it comes from pre-existing relationships amongst various permutations and combinations of its members; in still other instances it ...
Meredith Monk: Piano Songs
by Giuseppe Segala
Le cose più interessanti prodotte da Meredith Monk si collocano sul piano della voce, della sua interdipendenza con il corpo, con la performance, la spazialità. Le tecniche più spericolate e gli anfratti più nascosti della fisicità, della sensualità e della spiritualità sono stati affrontati dall'artista statunitense con lo strumento vocale che passa attraverso lo spazio del ...
