John Zorn: Femina
by Troy Collins
Composer, bandleader and Tzadik label founder John Zorn has long honored women in the arts, through dedications such as “Redbird" (for Agnes Martin), “Duras" (for Marguerite Duras) and “In the Very Eye of Night" (for Maya Deren), and through Tzadik's Oracles Series, which “celebrates the diversity and creativity of women in experimental music."

Vincent Courtois - Sylvie Courvoisier - Ellery Eskelin: As Soon as Possible
by AAJ Italy Staff
Se si dovesse pensare ad una nuova Third Stream contemporanea As Soon as Possible, pur non costituendone un tassello imprescindibile, ne farebbe parte in pieno.

Sylvie Courvoisier Trio Abaton La Huit 2007 Of all absolutely modern chamber music artists, pianist Sylvie Courvoisier perhaps comes closest to imitating the pirouettes, the leaps, the twists and turns of dancers' bodies.

Sylvie Courvoisier: Lonelyville
by Kurt Gottschalk
Sylvie Courvoisier's work has come from a variety of angles over the years. She is a classically-trained composer with a strong ear for formal structure, an improviser with a strong sense of community and artistic relationships and an innovator whose work with preparing and altering the piano goes beyond the usual percussive effects to forge a ...
Sylvie Courvoisier: Lonelyville

I precedenti lavori della pianista e ...
