Elgar: Violin Concerto, Enigma Variations / Elgar, Et Al
$16.59
Another utterly delightful CD of Klucevsekian accordion oddities. The opening selection is Klucevsek's own "Transylvanian Softwear" (1991) and features gypsy/Eastern European scale flourishes that grow into a steady, captivating dance beat, music for a Hasidic wedding. The "Viavy Rose Variations" (1989) are based on two delightful major-key, traditional accordion melodies from Madagascar in triple meter. The feeling is that of a light, bittersweet mood. Toward the end, Klucevsek shows off some lovely improvisation in quickly running passages. John Zorn's "Road Runner" (1986) uses effects like shaking tone clusters and banging and knocking on the instrument, together with brief quotes from tangos, Liszt's "Hungarian Rhapsodies," fake boogie, "Flight of the Bumble Bee," the theme to Dragnet, Bach's "D Minor Prelude" and "Fugue," jolly Spanish tunes, "Blues in the Night," diminished chord riffs, Beethoven's "Pastoral Symphony," and more, all in the spirit of Carl Stalling's soundtracks for the classic Road Runner cartoons. Klucevsek's "Perusal" (1988) explores Andean panpipe music by shifting a simple melody in stereo between accordion speakers and then creating different thrilling accompaniments to the tune. His "Bandoneons, Basil and Bay Leaves" (1993) is a touching tribute in memory of Astor Piazzolla. The "Three Microids" (1991) are fascinating studies after Bartók's explorations of folk music: "My Right Foot, on the Other Hand" contrasts 3/4 and 10/8 simultaneous meters, "Eleven Large Lobsters Loose in the Lobby" uses the accordion exclusively as a percussion instrument with a lot of "Hey!" shouting, and "Bustin' Broncos in the Balkans" has "yippee-yo-ki-yay" shouts and a Balkan romp dance. William E. Duckworth's "Slow Dancing in Yugoslavia" (1990) transposes a well-known American popular song to a Middle Eastern scale. Fred Frith's "The Disinformation Polka" (1994) is written like someone slowly trying to figure out what a polka is. ~ "Blue" Gene Tyranny
Stereo Review: “Recording of Special Merit”New York Daily News: “Four Stars – Excellent” Guy Klucevsek consistently offers some of the most listenable new music heard today. Kyle Gann comments that “Klucevsek is one of those natural-born musicians incapable of turning out an unmusical phrase,” noting the “graceful musicianship that informs his every gesture.” So it’s not surprising that Stereo Review awarded this CD a “Recording of Special Merit,” calling it “a funny and original album by an unusual artist.”“One of only two or three important accordion composers” (The New Yorker), Klucevsek has also commissioned a wide variety of composers, including Fred Frith, Aaron Jay Kernis, Alvin Lucier, Christian Marclay, Somei Satoh, Lois V Vierk, and John Zorn. He has also performed and/or recorded with Laurie Anderson, Anthony Braxton, Bill Frisell, and the Kronos Quartet.Klucevsek’s “original, sweetly postminimal vocabulary” ...

Brian Bensing's unique flute playing has inspired audiences both in the United States and abroad. He has been heard in such prestigious concert halls as Carnegie Hall with the Monokrome Flute Quartet. Other overseas engagements include performing Britten's War Requiem in Sheffield, England, as well as performing with Orquesta Sinfonico in Monterrey, Mexico. Brian was born and grew up in Concord, CA, and began his music studies at the age of 6 with the piano. He won the 1999/2000 concerto competition at San Jose State University and performed Mozart's Concerto for flute in G Major, with his own cadenzas. Throughout the course of his studies, Brian has participated in masterclasses with some of the world's best known flutists, including Julius Baker, Michel Debost, Gary Schocker, Keith Underwood, Trevor Wye, and Robert Stallman, to name just a few. Preferring to specialize in contemporary music, Brian has premiered several new works, including High Meadow and The Lament of Aeneas, both dedicated to him by composer Robert Denham. He also premiered a new flute quartet by Mike Mower written for the Monokrome Flute Quartet. Brian was recently featured in a performance of the CPE Bach Sonata in A minor (the "Ghost" version) with flutist Gary Schocker at the 2002 National Flute Association Convention in Washington, D.C. A CD of duo flute music by Gary Schocker will be released by Azica Records in 2004, which will feature the composer himself, along with Brian Bensing and Stefan Hoskulldson. Currently, ...
