Free Music Notes for Music of Magnus Lindberg
Free Music Review: Amazing orchestration, like all Lindberg
Hit: 3 Stars
This collection of works is another example of the orchestrational genius of Lindberg. You find yourself amazed at nearly every sound you hear, and then amazed that you continue to be amazed...it's that good. It's flawed, of course, as the "spectral approach" to composition has yet to produce formally coherent music, no matter who writes in the style. There are interchangeable moments amongst Lindberg's works, even though the empurpled program notes speak of the delicate formal processes. One sometimes hears the phrase "taking a tonal bath" to describe simply relishing in the sound of late romantic music...we could use "taking a spectral bath" in this context, and it would be more appropriate, for this is the most sophisticated stoner music ever written and one gets the impression that you could start or stop listening anywhere and enjoy the ride. I do, however, recommend careful, sober listening for all of you kids out there. Lastly, Amazon's price (less than $10 when I purchased) is stupendous -- well worth it.
Music of Magnus Lindberg Poster
Four premier recordings add up to a generous dose of Magnus Lindberg's orchestral mastery, served up in lovingly prepared, magnificently engineered performances by the composer's friend and longtime champion Esa-Pekka Salonen. Within just a few minutes into Cantigas, you're swept up by swirling pools of color chords, ticklish brass flurries both muted and open, and chattering, petulant rhythmic figures that bounce off a pliable canvas of dense sonorities. Imagine Respighi's Pines of Rome Swiss-cheesed through a kaleidoscope, and you'll get the idea. Parada reveals a more austere side of Lindberg's protean talents, while the more sparely scored Cello Concerto showcases Anssi Karttunen's virtuosity. He deftly tosses off Lindberg's zigzagging melodic lines (which the orchestral members quickly answer or comment upon) and sails through a cadenza jam-packed with twitchy pizzicato pellets, buzz saw low notes, and suspenseful silences. Lastly, Fresco is a mega-study about loud and soft, laid out in huge sound blocks that effortlessly glide from gentle to aggressive. Booklet notes include clear, insightful, and informative composer comments. --Jed DistlerClassical Music CDs
