Free Music Review: So-so Wuorinen
Hit: 3 Stars
When I put Wuorinen on the player, I expect music that moves rapidly back and forth with bracing complexity. In this set, it feels as if he's always pulling his punches. I suppose this is the result of writing for ballet, where the dance is the focus. Where Wuorinen the composer might jump into a new texture, Wuorinen the dance musician stays within the needs of the tableau. There are more marches and processionals here than in all the rest of his music put together. It can become tiresome unless you're in the mood for such a thing. I haven't yet found myself in that mood.
Charles Wuorinen is a fine composer, but the Dante Trilogy does not show him at his best. Perhaps the music works when there's a dance to watch. But by itself, it just doesn't add up to much.
