Bachmann / Kilbonoff - Part: Fratres - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

For this portrait album, which inaugurates their collaboration with Cypres, the Fractales ensemble has chosen to bring together four key pieces from their repertoire, four quintets in which the alchemy between the ensemble's sound and the work of the composers is revealed, the fruit of numerous exchanges between musicians and creators. Saturated textures, erased melodies, extra-western inspirations and games of temporality are among other things on the program of this adventure. Fractales symbolically evokes the vision that the ensemble has of today's musical composition a scene that is infinitely fragmented, irregular and plural, but in which each creation illustrates a common and shared search for the individualization of musical languages. Their artistic work aims to highlight this diversity, while bringing together these writings in a spirit of sound exploration.

Following on from his lauded recording of of 'Clavier-Übung III' celebrated organist Stephen Farr continues his survey of J.S. Bach's organ works with the four Choral Partitas, BWV 766-768 &770. This volume also marks the first recording on a substantial and colorful three-manual Bernard Aubertin organ newly installed in a private residence in Fairwarp, East Sussex, UK in 2015. Stephen Farr's career as a soloist and ensemble and continuo player has taken him throughout Europe, to North and South America, and to Australia. He has performed with some of the world's leading ensembles and conductors and has appeared in venues including the Berlin Philharmonie, the Royal Festival Hall, and many others. His extensive and wide-ranging discography for Resonus encompasses music from the sixteenth to the twenty-first century.
