WEB | FLAC (tracks) - 359 MB | 01:17:56
Genre: Classical | Label: ECM New Series

Funèbre stands out in the New Series both for its due attention to German composer Karl Amadeus Hartmann (1905-1963) and for welcoming conductor Christoph Poppen and the Munich Chamber Orchestra into the ECM fold. The latter have since gone on to record a number of pivotal records for the label, including the all-Scelsi program Natura Renovatur and the Bach/Webern crossover project Ricercar. Here they are joined by violinist Isabelle Faust, the Petersen String Quartet, and clarinetist Paul Meyer for a shuffling of dark, darker, and darkest.

March, 1973… A quartet known for its psychedelic inclinations delivered a fortress of an album: The Dark Side of The Moon was a musical UFO featuring the most advanced technology of the period, a stratospheric record which mirrored society and our errant human ways. Pink Floyd was about to write an essential chapter in rock history and enjoy planetary fame; even today, their album is still one of the greatest sellers of all time.

Edouard Ferlet - Think Bach (2012) [Official Digital Download 24/88] Vinyl & HR

Edouard Ferlet - Think Bach (2012)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/88,2 kHz | Time - 64:48 minutes | 958 MB
Studio Master, Official Digital Download | Artwork: Digital Booklet

How could one deconstruct Bach’s music when this opus has had such a structuring effect? How could one subvert a tribute to the organist of Leipzig and not bow before the “old wig”, as Busoni liked to call him endearingly? In short, how today variate Bach without turning the master into a kitsch cantor? In much the same way is there a significant nuance between laughing at and laughing with, Edouard Ferlet offers to play with Bach rather than merely play Bach; and because to play is to do hence we stand at the core of a poetical process. A process by which the pianist “recomposes” both substracting and enhancing: a few notes are extracted here and there from a prelude’s voices whereas elsewhere some are luckily added without ever being reduced to simple ornaments. By no doubt the German composer would have approved a piano thus enhanced with such delicate sounds – as we know he had a preference for the clavicord’s softness.
