About this product

Throughout WINDSWEPT, the Boston-based Arcadian Winds project a storytelling experience that is joyful, moving, and meaningful to hear. The three-movement Woodwind Quintet by Canadian composer Jan Järvlepp starts off WINDSWEPt. The first movement, InchRollercoaster,Inch invokes a childlike whimsy with a noticeable pop influence. This is followed by InchSolitude,Inch a more mature and romantic movement of music. Woodwind Quintet concludes with InchPyrotechnics,Inch a piece rooted in texture. Sonorous Earth, written by Miami composer Ferdinando DeSena, offers a down-to-earth, stable tone. While offering no less lyricism in his compositions, DeSena's storytelling is built from his ability to interweave these instruments in the lower tonal register. Stumpery, the third piece, is also based on this very concept of interwoven melodies. Composed by David MacDonald, the inspiration behind the piece is the complex network of a stumpery, or a type of garden in which the roots of trees tangle around one another. While the roots are represented by the linear melodies of the instruments, MacDonald establishes a unique ambient sound incorporating reverberations of the instruments, emphasizing the space left by the tendrils of the roots. Dirge & Second Line by Craig Peaslee experiments with the dictation of the New Orleans jazz style. Using a classical chamber ensemble, he juxtaposes some of the intricacies of classical notation with the loose, laid-back energies of the jazz music he works with. Concluding the album, Kenneth Kuhn's Variations on a Commoner Theme, No. 1 builds a musical story of the quest of a theme in the lowest class of musical hierarchy seeking to become noble. The wind quintet chronicles the various attempts via varying personalities of tempo, key change, and tone. The mood and melody start from the lowest class, build themselves up with grandiose ambitions, and

Among the promising percussionists of his generation is Kai Strobel, who has already won the renowned TROMP Percussion Competition Eindhoven and the 2019 ARD Music Competition. On his debut , the young percussionist presents himself as a mature, imaginative artist. With marimba, vibraphone, and two setups, he does not merely deliver a virtuoso display of equipment. Instead, he reflects thoughtfully, almost melancholically, on the quiet spherical sounds of these versatile instruments. Works by great contemporaries such as Toru Takemitsu or Iannis Xenakis can be heard, as well as world premiere recordings of works composed especially for him. Sensitive and musical - moving sounds on Kai Strobel's debut! Album Tracks 1. Prelude No. 1 for Solo Marimba (2012) 2. Fair Wind for Solo Marimba (2020) 3. Klangsäulen for Solo Percussion (2019) 4. Interzones for Vibraphone and Tape (1996) 5. 12 Songs for Guitar (1977) 6. Rebonds a for Solo Percussion (1987-89) 7. Mapa for Solo Vibraphone 8. 12 Songs for Guitar (1977)

The recording of this Chanson du vent is a celebration of Adolphe Biarent. This greatly neglected composer emerged from the shadows thanks to three album releases by Cypres. The cycle of Huit mélodiesfor mezzo-soprano completes this process aiming as it does to highlight an exceptional musical personality through world premiere recordings. Such an action can only work when based upon the total dedication of thoroughly committed performers who enhance a program inspired by the musical orientalism in vogue at that time. Album Tracks 1. Huit Mélodies Pour Mezzo-Soprano 2. La Captive (Orientale) Op. 12 3. Chanson Mauresque de Tunis 4. Medjé (Chanson Arabe) 5. Adieu de L'hôtesse Arabe 6. La Mort D'ophélie 7. La Brise (Mélodies Persanes Op. 26) 8. Alger Le Soir 9. Le Caravane Op. 14
