Luciano Biondini - Senza Fine - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Schumann / Schneeberger / Wosnitza / Nagy - Fruhe Versuche Und Spate Meist [COMPACT DISCS] date 01/01/2012

The first joint album from countertenor Philippe Jaroussky and guitarist Thibaut Garcia, À sa guitare takes it's name from a song by the 20th century French composer Francis Poulenc. But it's frame of reference is extraordinarily wide - both culturally and stylistically. It's 22 tracks range across 400 years and music by composers and songwriters from France, Britain, Austria, Italy, Spain, Brazil, Argentina and the USA. InchThe album is a journey between different cultures, different continents and different languages,Inch says Philippe Jaroussky, Inchbut each piece is a world in itself. The idea was to take some risks... sometimes moving to a completely different world between one track and the next.Inch InchWe can evoke hugely different colours as we juggle between renaissance music and a song by Barbara,Inch explains Thibaut Garcia. InchIt's our job to play with a palette of colours to produces something unique... We put a great deal of thought into the album, but we also put our hearts into it.Inch

With their poetic and energetic music, the three storytellers from Italy, France, and Switzerland create an unobstructed view of the Mediterranean across the narrow mountain valleys. The music of these three musical personalities thrives on it's poetry, it's beautiful sound, it's depth of thought, and the interweaving of composition and improvisation. Original compositions meet Radiohead and Monteverdi variations and merge on Fables of Time into soulful music full of energy and subtle wit. A trio with three leaders, all three at home in different musical languages and technically at their peak. Together they form a unity that is rarely found. Thirteen years after the two highly acclaimed CDs What is There What is Not and Mavi, the long-awaited third from this extraordinary trio is here. InchThe path offered to the listener is full of surprises and joy - you never know what's waiting around the corner a stroll through a stately Renaissance melody, a sudden jolt of energy from free improvised passages, an evocation of village dance from an imaginary country that borders the desert, the Alps and the countryside, a flash of funky, and sometimes all these things at the same timeInch, writes Francesco Martinelli in the liner notes.
