So much of the music of Wayne Horvitz has a cinematic quality to it, eliciting vibrant, sharp imagery, and voiced with a definitive point of view not unlike the framing of a storyline plot. Even the casual music listener, once exposed to enough of Horvitz’s music, will begin to recognize his singular form of expressionism. Horvitz has been involved in a vast array of projects, and many of them manifest with very different sounds, but the more that Horvitz’s fingerprints appear on a particular recording, the easier it becomes to recognize the music as belonging to him. His solo project resulting in the 1997 release Monologue: Twenty Compositions for Dance definitely fits that bill.

This CD, recorded live, will leave you smiling with delight and amazement. These symphonies are among Haydn's greatest; written in 1788-89, they exhibit every facet of his technical skill, inspired inventiveness, and emotional range. At the height of his mature mastery, he experimented with new forms, daring modulations and key changes, and breathtaking swings of mood and character. One of his fingerprints is the alternation between serene major and somber minor, especially in his variations; but he has surprises in store everywhere, as solemnity gives way to sprightliness, elegance to rusticity, tragedy to mischievous humor.

Since their establishment in the year 1999, the Klazzbrothers have been exploring the borders between classic and jazz, linking tradition and the desire for novelty, as well as the correspondence of music of different cultures.
