Dear Bear and List,
You may well be wondering just why on earth I am looking for this info.
I think you know that I am a writer - and I do review CD's. However,
nothing
bores me more than the conventional and what I love is the creativity of
those who dare to be different, dare to use their imagination and
overflow
with unusual optics in their talent. I leave the great conventional
CD's to
other reviewers who don't touch the stuff that is undefinable - upon
which
I thrive.
I am currently reviewing a CD in which one incredible musician not only
plays
- but totally masters Berio's Sequenzas for oboe - for flute and for
clarinet - three
musicians in one person. As if that were not enough - he also plays
jazz (on sax)
and his own compositions which are based upon Berio - as Berio has
based his
upon Mahler etc.
It is a staggering performance. I remember hearing the Brahms on the
radio a
long time ago, tucking it into the back of my mind as being an
exceptional thing
to be able to do.
I dare say I might let you all into the secret when it is published in
a week or so. I
hasten to add that I have no commercial interest whatsoever in this -
my interest
is simply that of a musician who loves music and admires those who
dare to
be different.
This is not a "doubler". How many to whom that term is applied by
others (not me)
are capable of mastering instruments to the Berio Sequenza level????????
Amazing,
Jennifer
