Free Music Review: Grisey is not restricted by any system
Hit: 5 Stars

It is wonderful,listening to this cd, as each time one discovers a new aspect of this engaging musical tapestry. As with the best music, the variety of expression Grisey evokes is admirable. In lots of music, one can often find the expression lies either side of the barrier between violent and peaceable, or other such contrasts. However, in this cd, Grisey, like Bach, always provides an elusive yet utterly idiosyncratic answer, finding the balance to reconcile such differences, into an immutable force. Yes, the music can be described as an immutable force, as it suspends criticism upon hearing; the listener (hopefully!!) is held in thrall, locked in the music, for it's duration.
It is important though, that with Grisey, his music does not fall prey to labelling. Grisey in an interview (...), speaks of how it was taken over by a few musicologists, reviewers and musicians, as a label.
"Spectralism is not a system. It's not a system like serial music or even tonal music. It's an attitude. It considers sounds.." says Grisey.
Grisey is not restricted by any system.
This is a lovely cd.
