Free Music Review: M.Lindberg coming into his own
Hit: 5 Stars
This disc, along with his recent marvelous Violin Concerto on Sony(his best work to date) signify a huge growth from his previous, and at times shallow sounding works. This clarinet concerto is a stunning virtuosic piece for the instrument with a slow and almost elegiac opening section(there are no movements per se) Despite its relatively accessible language it is still Lindberg, just a more mature and harmonically reliable and intelligent one with a growing ear for melody rather than just sound(which he has always excelled at). This combination will eventually peak in his Violin Concerto(released by SONY!!! which in itself is remarkable considering it is such a new work usually the provence of ONDINE or BIS.
either way, this work and his violin concerto make the future of Lindberg a very appealing prospect now that he has the courage and convinction to abondon(though not entirely)the chains of the avant-garde school which provided funding to composers who have not the slightest melodic talent. He like many composers now, are learning to take the best of that world and combine it with tradition. Before this CD, I was worried about him for the complete opposite reason another reviewer critiqued him. His language is still his own. I strongly recommend this along with his Violin concerto to hear the "coming out party" so-to-speak of a very gifted and significant composer. Bravo Magnus!
As if to confirm my assumptions even more, the other two works on this disc are also very different from past Lindberg experiments in their adherence to an identifiable ideal rather than relying on sound and texture alone, which is what he had previously adhered too.
If you dont believe me, listen to his early cello concerto, then his piano concerto, then this disc, then the violin concerto and you will hear a marvelous progression and an abandonement of the overly-intellectual and strategic noise of the idiot school of music, which will probably mean that he will lose a significant fan base, but its okay, because those people have no aesthetic talent anyway, which is all that style really did, provide a place for all the melodically impotent to gather and tell one another how great they are.
Personally, I would rather listen to a garbage truck drive past my house, but hey, in their world that would probably be considered a unique masterpiece and I would get funded by Boulez, the king of Poopdom.
