Teodoro Anzellotti - Goldberg Variations - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Vaughan Williams / Boult / Lpo - Job/Scottish Dances (4)/Wasp O [COMPACT DISCS] date 10/25/1994

These Goldberg Variations present new perspectives on a well-known score. Danish composer Peter Navarro-Alonso's composition is a note-by-note reinvention of the original Goldberg Variations by J.S. Bach. Thus Alpha's innovative performance adds no additional notes in comparison to the original. It is merely through the very creative and extreme orchestration that the new composition gains it's own life. InchThe combination of recorder, saxophone and percussion is clearly not very well suited to a baroque-style reorchestration,Inch claims Peter Navarro-Alonso, responsible for this arrangement tailor made for the members of Alpha. InchBut the richness in that combination lies in it's enormous diversity in timbre and dynamics.Inch Alpha is a unique Danish ensemble, founded by Bolette Roed, Peter Navarro-Alonso, and David Hildebrandt, who all graduated from the soloist class at the Royal Danish Academy of Music, Copenhagen. As early as 2003, they were the first to explore this instrument combination, attracted by it's many possibilities. Alpha was an immediate success, and have been prize-winners at contests and festivals all over Europe.
