W. Boyce - Overtures / Concerti Grossi - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Scrapyard Exotica is Del Sol String Quartet's third full studio album from Sono Luminus. The triumvirate of composers featured on this album represent leading voices in very different flavors of music within the classical avant-garde. Diverse influences run the gamut from club beats to throat singing to Middle Eastern dance rhythms, from the melodic beauty of Schubert to swinging jazzy grooves to the world of science fiction. Yet each voice is firmly rooted in the here and now, sharing their experiences of life in the 21st century. Live audiences have been equally stunned by the power of each piece and we are thrilled to bring these recordings to those who haven't yet heard them in the concert hall. The album begins with Mason Bates' four exciting InchBagatelles for String Quartet and Electronica,Inch which was made in collaboration with Del Sol by playing with new sounds in the studio.

Second on the album is the thrilling InchPeradamInch by Ken Ueno, which utilizes throat singing; as Lee puts it, InchLearning this piece became an incredible physical journey for the quartet, in addition to a sound world odyssey.Inch Last is Mohammed Fairouz's beautifully meditative piece in four movements InchThe Named Angels,Inch which refers to those angels that are named and recognized in the Islamic, Christian and Jewish traditions Michael, Israfel, Gabriel and Azrael.Hailed by Gramophone as Inchmasters of all musical things they survey,Inch The San Francisco based Del Sol String Quartet, two-time winner of the top Chamber Music America/ASCAP Award for Adventurous Programming, commissions and performs outstanding new works from around the world and provides innovative educational programs.
