About this product

Colombo Taccani's works often take their basic starting point from a brief fragment of very varied origin Schumann, Ravel, chorale melodies, short portions of Gregorian chant have alternated with Duke Ellington or fragments of rock. The list could go on for much longer. Small elements of DNA that will shape all aspects of the works, from the harmonic substance to the general proportions and the alternation of the sections; occasionally - very seldom -there may be some allusion to the musical setting of the original, whereas elsewhere -more often, if not nearly always - the process of composition has proceeded in a totally independent and autonomous manner. From this perspective, Watcher (2012/13), Crawler (2014) and Winkler (2016), written for Sentieri selvaggi, together make up a trilogy united by the fact that their primary elements belong to a world very dear to the composer, that of the progressive rock of the Seventies. The three fragments of well known songs by Genesis, the unforgettable British band, can be very rarely recognized but are never the source of any stylistically direct references. Nevertheless, there is inevitably, at a personal level, a sort of affective tribute to the listening experiences never denied by Colombo Taccani and still unashamedly cohabiting today with other musical domains; the link that the composer has attempted to create is therefore of an emotional nature, aiming to retrieve from this repertoire certainly not a literal interpretation but rather it's communicative energy and expressive power, associating all this with a substantial compositional elaboration.

Various - Inner Voices   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Composer of the comic Franklin chamber opera Benjamin, John Carbon (born 1951) has created a large catalogue of vocal and instrumental work that has been widely performed and recorded by internationally recognized artists. His dramatic concertos have been praised for their Inchdazzling kinetic virtuosityInch (Fanfare Magazine) and their Inchmany moments of genuine beauty.Inch (American Record Guide) InchJohn Carbon's vivid and engaging style is on full display in this collection of orchestral and chamber works. Carbon has long had a particularly affinity for the dramatic and expressive possibilities of concertos, and four of his significant works in that genre, played here by superb soloists, comprise the bulk of the album. The powerful symphony Inner VoicesInch and the pictorial chamber suite InchGhost Town SketchesInch round out this collection.Inch (Carson Cooman)
