Erik Friedlander: Volac: Book of Angels, Vol. 8
Con uno strumentista così versatile, l'intelligenza di Zorn sta nel valorizzarne la sensibilità espressiva, sia all'arco che nel pizzicato: i temi sono disegnati con severe volute come nell'iniziale "Harhazial", con felpate melodie ["Rachsiel" o la delicatissima "Yeruel"] o acidi strappi ["Zumel" o la quasi carlstallingiana "Ylrng"], con gesto quasi bachiano ["Sannul"] o di malinconico accanimento ["Kadal", "Sidriel"].
Il libro degli angeli è un discorso poetico in cui l'afflato mistico-esoterico non impedisce la continua rifinitura della scrittura e la bravura di Erik Friedlander sta nel mettere molto di sé in ogni brano, accendendo per ciascun angelo una luce particolare che consente di riconoscerlo tra la folla. Splendido.
