Free Music Notes for Pulse Shadows
Free Music Review: Webern not Dowland
Hit: 4 Stars
This is my first exposure to Birtwistle and I'm certainly impressed. In terms of the other reviews, I can't say the piece is taut (needs some pruning or greater tempos) and the style reminds me constantly of Webern but never of Dowland. However the vocal lines are usually highly singable and there is a near-constant play with lyrism, and much fine listening -- probably more when I get to know the piece better. I'm no fan of serialists but this is one of those cases where modern (post-'50s) composers show that serialism or its like can be truly musical and haunting. The sound is excellent and the performances seem right on target, although I was surprised to discover that the soprano was singing in English. (The only way to tell was to follow along with the printed poems.)
