pffft, everything's just right perfectly balanced and in your face beautiful. anyhow, this presentation of the music is absolutely thrilling! Truly, the scary bits are actually scary! And the way the. I just listened to the Concord a few days ago, and remembered your Post. Quote from: snyprrr on April 05, 2012, 05:53:44 PM I've just listened to the Brodsky's twice, and yes, this performance, and recording, are a revelation. It probably should have been nominated for a Grammy. Very fast!!īut, I really can't say enough for the Brodsky's 'Black Angels'. I'm left with the image of the flying monkeys departing the witch's castle under dark grey skies.ītw- try the Petersen(sic?) Quartet on Capriccio for what some say is the last word in the Schubert. perhaps the ample headroom of the recording has something to do with this, for the recording is very much natural (as opposed to the Kronos's airless Skywalker Ranch (presumably?) recording), like the Vox recording, but, unlike THAT one, we're NOT sitting in the back row!! I mean, come on, it IS a little more variegated than Herr Herren's, no? And when players play this piece for all it's worth, like here, it really comes across as a Symphonic Chamber Opera.

I really trusted you on this recording, and it certainly elevated this piece to its rightful place as perhaps the most imaginative use of the String Quartet to date. maybe I've finally gotten used to one of the greatest avant cliches of all time, the "eine. I also must say that now I am at peace with Crumb's vocalizing, as this recording catches the male voices very well. It's so refreshing to be able to hear every track separately (which I haven't done yet). these helicopter sounds are really really creepy when played so.mm, Gloria Coates-ish (with a little Xenakis/Hiller. It also brings home the helicopter sounds from Vietnam, making it the 'First' Helicopter Quartet (James!), and, after hearing this performance, I do think I like this a lot better than. I call this the 'Arditti' performance to be sure! I've just listened to the Brodsky's twice, and yes, this performance, and recording, are a revelation.

(And God bless Wergo, while I'm at it, here.) A lot of the first electronic music I had was on Turnabout.

Plus the smaller labels like Turnabout and Everest had some pretty sweet choices. Major record labels had extensive new music offerings, and labels like Wergo and Mainstream were nothing but new music. Ancient Voices of Children, Makrokosmos III, and Black Angels were my favorites. Quirky, mysterious, endlessly inventive and ingratiating. I could praise the disc more highly, but who would believe me?Īnyway, for someone like myself who was just discovering contemporary music in the early seventies, Crumb was a special composer. There, the Brodsky is all sweetness and light, subdued melancholy and passionate Sehnsucht. And that is my favorite recording of the 14th, too. Plus, the Brodsky has the Schubert quartet that Crumb quotes in his piece. Fierce, crisp, every twist and turn played razor sharp and precise without sacrificing any jagged roughness. They rushed through it as if they were late for their plane or something, or maybe just for dinner.īut the Brodsky.

I had the VoxBox LP with the Concord Quartet, which was pretty good I recall.
