VA - Eduard Brunner - Dal niente: Yun, Stravinsky, Boulez, Stockhausen, Scelsi, Lachenmann

Classical - Contemporary | EAC = APE + CUE (NO LOG) | Cover | 225 MB
| “ | An invigorating journey over the landscape of modern music, Swiss clarinettist Eduard Brunner's solo recital is a tour-de-force of extended technique and high musicality applied to intensely-demanding composition. Brunner's album is titled after Helmut Lachenmann's Dal niente (out of nothing) whose sounds bleed into and out of the resonant silence of the church of St. Gerold. Where Lachenmann's concluding piece calls for nothing less than a new way of hearing, the Isang Yun composition that opens the programme is a deeply moving assertion of the inviolability of the human spirit which has its genesis in the two years that Yun spent in a South Korean prison under sentence of death. The recital also includes a hitherto unpublished Stravinsky miniature alongside the well-known Three Pieces for clarinet, Boulez's daunting Domaines, some brightly optimistic Stockhausen, and Scelsi's shadowy Preghiera per un'ombra. BBC Music Magazine: "Although a disc comprising 70 minutes of 20th century music for clarinet might be thought to appeal to enthusiasts only, there is such an enormous range of sounds contained within these pieces that one's attention is held throughout. | ” |

Salvatore Sciarrino - Infinito Nero / Le Voci Sottovetro
Classical - Contemporary | EAC = APE + CUE (NO LOG) | Cover LQ | 166 MB
Classical - Contemporary | EAC = APE + CUE (NO LOG) | Cover LQ | 166 MB
| “ | Attracted by the borderline experiences and solitary forms of a gradually darkening Renaissance, these compositions by Salvatore Sciarrino revolve around three figures from the 16th century, all of whom lost control in the field of tension between feverish living and spiritual demise, between brightness and damnation, inspired, driven and obsessed. The famous poet Torquato Tasso describes in three authentic letters (Lettere poetici) his tormenting visions of goblins and phantoms. This is all reflected in Sciarrino's intense, whispering, whirring music, in which silence is as significant as the birth of sound, "Almost naked, sober," remarks the composer, "and that is an important element when one is listening to music. Only in this way can it bore its way into the flesh." (Carlo Sini) | ” |

| “ | Sock Monkey, the follow up to 2004's Catfish (Tzadik), and the latest of a whole string of albums on Innova, starts off with a fine example of Applebaum's exuberant postmodernism, in the form of Magnetic North (2006), a 14-minute adventure scored for brass quintet and percussion with occasional interpolated cadenzas from an additional soloist, in this case Applebaum himself on his self-designed mouseketier (an electroacoustic sound sculpture incorporating amplified bits of junk and toys, whose already strange sounds are further transformed electronically). | ” |

Mauricio Kagel 6: Klangwölfe / Unguis incarnatus est / An tasten / Trio
Classical - Contemporary | EAC = APE + CUE + LOG | Cover | 206 MB
Classical - Contemporary | EAC = APE + CUE + LOG | Cover | 206 MB
| “ | Much of Kagel's music has an element of the intelectual strip-show, which ultimately turns out to be more like a Vesalian anatomy lesson: if the reductio is not necessarily ad absurdum, it is nonetheless drastic, and seems to invite discussion. But this is precisely what is forbidden by the ritual of the concert performance, whose rules are: first presentation, then immediately judgement (applause, or some less favourable alternative). | ” |

Christian Wolff: "Exercise 15" (1975)

Classical - Contemporary | EAC = APE (no CUE / no LOG) | Covers | 275 MB
| “ | "Exercise 15" was made out of and invites transformations or transcriptions. It's for piano or ad hoc instrumental arrangement. Its material is from a 1920s song "Union Maid" (as I found it in Edith Fowke and Joe Glazer's collection "Songs of Work and Protest") by Woodie Guthrie using an earlier popular song tune. The tempo of the music is not specified. Sometimes it's played rather fast, as the original tune probably was, sometimes at a deliberate, 'prosaic' tempo. Here it's in a slow motion as though under a temporal microscope, which to my ears makes it somehow new (extensive change of quantity about a change quality). _ Christian Wolff | ” |

Henri Dutilleux: Le Loup - Tout un monde lointain... - L'arbre des songes - Métaboles - The shadows of time - Symphony Nº2 'Le double'

| “ | Dutilleux is an outsider by instinct and his independence from prevailing 'schools' of French composition would explain why his music is not as widely appreciated as its abundant qualities suggest it should be. And it's coals to Newcastle indeed that it was a British orchestra -the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra - who first brought Dutilleux's music to Paris's most chic music venue, the Cité de la Musique, in 1999. | ” |

Avant-Garde | EAC RIP = APE + CUE + LOG | 133 MB

| “ | “The basic idea of Variété” writes Kagel “was to compose a concert/show combining a number of musical idioms associated with the traditional vaudeville style. From the composer’s view-point, the term théâtre trouvé might be useful to describe this liaison: new pieces of music, not bound to any particular visual content, are confronted by other presentation. The result is ‘music’ – ‘theater’.” | ” |

Gruppo Di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza: DVD Azioni 3

DVD rip | Covers | DVD: 2.07 GB; Booklet: 34 MB | RS links
| “ | The core group consisted of Franco Evangelisti, Ennio Morricone (yes, that Morricone), Roland Kayn, Mario Bertoncini, Ivan Vandor, and John Heineman. Usually mentioned in the same breath as another great electro-acoustic improvising ensemble, AMM, who were navigating similar terrain to that of the GINC, each member brought their own composing and improvising sensibility to bear on a collective effort that is never less than totally engaging. They performed a totally unique melange of free improvisation, with white noise, analog electronics, extended technique, and a knowledge of composition that encompassed centuries worth of developments, from the Renaissance on up to the latest innovations of Stockhausen, Cage, or Xenakis. This DVD features a 45-minute-long black and white film of a performance given by the group at the Gallery of Modern Art in Rome in 1967. [MK] (Reissued 2006) | ” |

Avant-Garde | EAC RIP = APE + CUE + LOG | Cover | 2 CD / 450 MB |

| “ | Kagel's conundrum is this: Saint Bach is either a unique musical phenomenon, perhaps the only instance of such divinely made (not just inspired) music, thus rendering him incomparable and even incommensurable to all other composers, or Bach's saintliness is a possibility that any composer might attain and thus "Saint Bach" is a representation of "the composer" him/herself in his/her fullest attainment. If this is the case, what other composers might Kagel also be a saint? Himself? As I said, Kagel confronts us with the most challenging epistemological conundrum any recent composer to my knowledge has laid down. And I suspect attentive listeners will be wrestling with his conundrum for generations to come, either infuriated by its seeming audacity, or humbled by its remarkable devotion. In any case, some of those infuriated and humbled listeners will return to Kagel's music with a culminating sense of marvel at its emotion and elegant design that will seem at times to be Bach's music itself wearing an astonishingly contemporary garb.
