Free Music Review: Which of three versions is this?
Hit: 4 Stars
An all music website reports that "The Sinking of the Titanic" had been recorded three times. The first, for Brian Eno's Obscure label, was a landmark recording, but went swiftly out of print and became a much sought after collector's item, while the third, a relatively bland performance on Point, was widely distributed in the late '90s. In between, on the independent Belgian label Les Disques du Crepuscule, Bryars recorded what is possibly the definitive version though again, it is a difficult disc to locate. Who has this can tell us which version this one is? Thanks.
Bryars: The Sinking Of The Titanic / Barnett, Bryars Ensemble, et al Poster
Bryars's The Sinking of the Titanic is one of the oddest and at the same time most mesmerizing works to come out of this end of the century. It began in 1972 as an abstract art piece that kept on building and changing in the composer's mind. It's a ghostly tapestry of eerie echoes, distant sounds almost like whale songs, and interjected rifts representing the band that was playing even as the boat sank. This is a masterpiece that rewards repeated listenings. --Paul CookClassical Music CDs
