Free Music Review: Not for the timid listener
Hit: 5 Stars
One must remember that such artists as Stravinsky were responsible for starting riots by their "horrible" music that is now considered to be masterpieces.
Fleming and Mehladau receive prise before the CD is even reviewed. These two masters in their own art have gone forward in nearly unfamiliar terriroty, creating a work of modern jazz/art-music that has yet to be rivaled. It is a matter of opinion as to the musicality of the album, however, the depth cannot be denied by any finely-tuned ear.
Quite honestly, if you are looking for "easy listening" jazz and "beautiful" art songs, this is likely not your proverbial cup of tea. In that case, you might do well to look into some of the more "mainstream" albums by these two.
Being a lover of blended styles and genres, I adore the contrasting feelings and textures. The stark, oppenness of Mehladau's pianistic genius brings an honesty to the sound, while the smooth, full voice of the diva, Fleming, opens from deep-throated whisper to soaring angelic heights.
The skill used in bringing this music together brings me to a point of awe and inspiration. Please prepare yourself for an unusual sound when listening, but then open yourself to what is certainly a view of the future of art music.
Love Sublime Poster
Seven years after drawing inspiration from Rainer Maria Rilke on his Elegiac Cycle, a classical-style work for solo piano, young jazz star Brad Mehldau hooks up with the great American soprano Renee Fleming to delve further into the German poet's output in a setting of his earlier Book of Hours: Love Poems to God. Commissioned by Carnegie Hall, the seven-song cycle is at times a bit sketchy in outlining rather than sinking into the aching emotion, but there is no denying the exquisite pain of "Extinguish my eyes, I'll go on seeing you" or the ease with which Mehldau tailors his restless, varied rhythmic attack to the words and Fleming's dynamic delivery of them. (The diva recently worked with two other noted jazz artists, Fred Hersch and Bill Frisell, on Haunted Heart, her less-rewarding album of pop, folk and jazz standards.) Love Sublime also features serviceable settings of three lyrically gripping poems by Louise Bogan (who wrote articles about Rilke as the New Yorker's longtime poetry critic). The title track is a reworking of a song Mehldau previously recorded as an instrumental, this time featuring sharply penetrating words by his wife, vocalist Fleurine. --Lloyd SachsA collection of duets for voice and piano, Love Sublime is based on the writings of poets Rainer Maria Rilke and Louise Bogan and addresses faith and doubt, youth and aging, male and female, romantic yearning and mature reflection. The voices of the writers are very much present in the melodies and rhythms of Love Sublime.
