 LEXINGTON GUITAR TRIO: dragons, moods & safaris—20th and 21st century music for 3 guitars - This award-winning classical guitar ensemble presents music from the early 20th Century through the early 21st Century by American, European, and Latin American composers in this sophisticated 13-track album. The perfect combination of refined skill, precise delivery and exceptional expression and emotion, it's no surprise why they stand out in their genre. With the closely intertwined and yet independent voices of three guitars, this trio delivers a complementary mix of compositional styles from Astor Piazzolla to local Portland composer, Bryan Johanson; everything from mind-boggling, contemporary classical technique to standard classical repertoire. |  INVERT: between the seconds - Inverting the string quartet from two violins, viola and cello to two cellos and one violin and viola, "Invert" is, first, a must for Kronos Quartet followers and second, required listening for the forging of contemporary classical string repertoire. In an album composed by its members, "Between The Seconds" takes the listener from driving, ostinato themes that excitedly crescendo with exponential energy to fully expansive and outward-reaching, atmospheric material to imaginative incorporation of world music elements and pop fusion. It is an album that appeals to both the classical academic as well as the "rock cello" interests. In short, there is no pause in the energy and vitality of this group. Extraordinary. |  THE KATIA LABEQUE BAND: unspoken - Breathtaking from note one, this gorgeous and compelling album intertwines classical sophistication, development and neo-romantic depth with the tug and pull of modern, worldly jazz fusion and the otherworldly appeal of electronic manipulation. Purely imaginative through and through, it is an album that seems to respond to the senses as well as stimulate them- the album noticeably inhales and exhales, ebbs and flows, blurring the line between the music and your experience of it. Truly a masterpiece in atmospheric, programmatic, and epic sound landscape. |  MUSICA SACRA: love, lust, and laudations - With crystalline-clear tone, this exceptional a cappella chorus recreates the most beautiful masterpieces of the Flemish renaissance period. Like wafts of smoke floating and drifing through still air, their lines weave beautiful, circular shapes of closed and open harmony. A ghostly and angelic album. |  ERIK FRIEDLANDER: maldoror - Everybody loves the cello. But how many really know the capacity of its voice? In a stunning collection of contemporary classical pieces, inspired by the surrealist poems of Lautreamont, Erik Friendlander dives into the depths of possibilites, employing 20th century compositional techniques and then some, in a directed, clearly-envisioned whole. A technical study within itself of the less-known territories of this complex and multi-voiced instrument, this album takes the listener through creaking, windblown, eerie, landscapes to a sphere of neuroses and driving dimentia to rapid, cross-string bowing and breathless, urgent prophesy. Diverse, engaging and bold. | | ||||||||||||||||
