"'Beckett'...is a work for 23 players divided into five homophonic groups, each staying at or near its original pitch or pitches...The new disc has superlative sound: there is an inconspicuous crispness to Cambreling's Viennese band, but also a cushion-like warmth to the lower winds and strings, and a beautiful blend of timbres. This would be an excellent introduction to Feldman...Feldman acolytes will also need the disc. Indeed, no one should be caught without it." -Ashby, ARG |

... As only few other composers, Gérard Grisey was a master at working in these various "altidudes", one who skilfully zoomed back and forth between micro- and macro-time, or, in Grisey's beautiful imagery, between human time and the extended time of whales and the extremely compressed time of insects. and this disposal of time, of the hearing perspevtive - Grisey certainly knew it - affords the music a power that touches on the metaphysical just as the texts of "Quatre chants" do. "Fertilised with time, the music is afforded the power of the sacred of which Georges Bataille speaks; mute and silent forces that invoke and exorcise the sound and its emergence - perhaps and only for a moment.

Lachenmann chose a text by Leonardo da Vinci:"...but when I had remained silent for a fairly long time, all at once two feelings awoke in me. Fear and desire. Fear of the cave's looming darkness, but the desire to see with my own eyes what marvels may lie within..." and there are many marvels to discover on this exceptional recording.

Jesus Torres (born in Saragossa, 1965) is one of the key figures in a very talented generation of Spanish composers who have made a significant contribution to the further development of music in Europe. While they share neither a style nor an ideational background, they do share their point of departure: artistically speaking, they are all "grandchildren" of the great innovators of the post-war period; they came to music after the avant-garde had already gained a permanent, emphatic foothold at the academies - and begun their subsequent march into aesthetic isolation. In order to break free from this, Torres and his colleagues set off on highly individual and divergent musical paths that, viewed as a whole, still set a remarkable example. |

Music to hear is characterised by the rhetoric of musical diction: an alternation of tension and relaxation, clearly defined metrics, main themes, the alternation of stressed and unstressed tempi, a comprehensibility of figures, and generally the use of figures at all... (Frank Gerhardt)

Beat Furrer’s works leave no doubt that someone is at work here (on himself), whose appreciation of sound and radical rejection of all-too-plausible contextual aesthetics brought forth an altogether distinct language, moving, boldly layered sounds. ensemble recherche provides listeners this exemplary experience.

Furioso. The ensemble is conceived as open, as in flux, the musicians and instrumental tones as coming and going. Ideally, if the procedure wouldn’t be too obtrusive and apt to distract from the music, the musicians, each at their own tempo could be drawn across the stage on podiums on wheels, so that they would appear with the first note and disappear with the last - apart from the violoncello, which must be silently present and apart from the piccolo, which can be heard in part IIa, but which should also be visible in IIb.
