Great conductor Gunter Wand, shown here in the final phase of his career, developed a particular affinity for Bruckner; he understood and channeled the original spirit of that composer's work in a way that few others ever have. In this program, Wand conducts the NDR Sinfonieorchester in live performances at the Schleswig-Holstein ...

GLADIATOR was nominated for the 2001 Grammy Award for Best Score Soundtrack Album for a Motion Picture, Television or Other Visual Media.
The combination of the prolific Hans Zimmer and Lisa Gerrard is an ingenious one. He's set lush musical backgrounds to everything from comedies (I'LL DO ANYTHING), to period pieces (DRIVING MISS DAISY), to blockbuster war flicks (THE THIN RED LINE); she's one of the duo comprising Dead Can Dance, perhaps the most singular popularizers of ancient music of the '80s and '90s.
Zimmer and Gerrard contribute a thrilling, boisterous score. These stirring, magnificent pieces are vital to such epics as GLADIATOR, which depend on them to rouse audiences into fits of passion, to suck them into the action, to involve them in every bloody battle, to bask in the hero's triumphs, to gasp at his possible defeat. The music in GLADIATOR expertly evokes an ancient time with a mixture of majestic, classical themes, and folk music of the ages. Fans of the movie will revel in reliving the grandeur of this powerful ...

Bang on a Can invite you to "Meet the Hocketers" on this CD compilation featuring three works by Dutch avant modern classical composer Louis Andriessen. Reissuing two Andriessen pieces from Bang on a Can's 1995 Industry CD -- "Hout" and "Hoketus" -- and adding a recording of "Workers' Union" from a 2002 WNYC live radio broadcast, Gigantic Dancing Human Machine is nicely programmed to give the listener a bit of variety within Andriessen's sometimes rigorously minimalistic world. As a case in point, the relentless buildup of "Hoketus" is followed by the gentler "Hout" ("Wood"), in which Evan Ziporyn's tenor sax lines are sequentially echoed by guitarist Mark Stewart, marimbist Steven Schick, and pianist Lisa Moore to create a mesmerizing hall-of-mirrors effect. And the musicians' touch is also comparatively light on the opening "Workers' Union," which has nowhere near the ultimately bludgeoning relentlessness of "Hoketus," despite the fact that Andriessen composed both pieces during roughly the same period in the mid-'70s. The listener can perhaps be thankful that the Bang on a Can All-Stars chose a somewhat lighter instrumental sound (featuring bass, vibraphone, piano, electric guitar, cello, and Ziporyn's squawky bass clarinet) and less aggressive approach to the stop-and-start rhythms, full-ensemble unison attack, and atonal harmonics of "Workers' Union" than the California EAR Unit applied to the same piece on 1997's Zilver CD -- after all, "Hoketus" must be contended with, so best not to exhaust the listener before the main event even begins. Indeed, the nearly 24-minute "Hoketus" dominates Gigantic Dancing Human Machine, and if you are adequately prepared to put this on your CD player, you will hear the musicians walk -- or perhaps pound on -- the line between minimalist trance and minimalist madness, a bit like a Steve Reich composition played with hammers and anvils rather than mallets and marimbas. Once "Hoketus" winds up into its full mechanistic assault, the curious result is music whose manic call-and-response repetitions and variations seem designed to induce a trance while instantaneously wrenching the listener out of said trance. The instrumentation on this piece (also skillfully performed on the Rogue's Gallery CD by British contemporary avant renegades Icebreaker, whose James Poke, Katherine Pendry, Richard Craig, and Damian leGassick are guest musicians here as well) is similarly contradictory, including not only electric bass guitars (two of them), congas (two sets of them, too), and Fender Rhodes (OK, everything is in twos, just like your ears) but also pan pipes, employed in a way that might suggest a parallel universe in which Zamfir showed up for the Bang on a Can session straight from his earlier gig with Glenn Branca. (Although Andriessen has noted that hocketing is highly developed in Peruvian and Bolivian pan pipe ensembles, so perhaps the instrumentation is in fact appropriate.) Headphones are absolutely essential to perceive this nearly 24-minute composition's hocketing effect in its full glory, with a measured windup of ping-ponging rhythms and abrupt shifts into even more intense levels of agitation at the eight- and 20-minute marks. (At ...
