About This Item
Although Jamilia Jazylbekova has very strong ties to her native Kazakhstan, her creative urge cannot be boiled down to the local musical culture. InchWhat's new and exciting about her musicInch, says Kasper de Roo, who conducted the music on this CD at Deutschlandfunk with the Ensemble Modern, Inchis it's distinctive and inimitable languageInch. With varying forces and a broad range of expression, this Inchinimitable languageInch shines forth in the five works on this CD. In InchVociInch (InchVoicesInch), where Jazylbekova herself sings the vocal part, touchingly song-like traits are transmuted into the naked gesture of a scream. In InchAspanInch (InchHeavenInch), strange brass figurations congeal into eruptions of sound only to rapidly dissolve like dream images, despite their urgency. Seemingly raw and fragmentary sounds correspond with structural elements, while proportions of intensity and density within the composition, as in InchLe refus de l'enfermement IVInch, become the focus of attention. Jazylbekova views each instrument as a separate InchbeingInch to be brought to life by the performer. In InchNuit de marsInch and InchAikyonInch, rather than pursuing the ideal of Inchpure beauty of soundInch, she incorporates InchpollutantsInch' InchIt's like the water of a mountain stream in whose bed we can see plants, rocks and soil the admixtures in the water correspond to the proportion of noise in the sound.Inch Album Tracks 1.
