64millimetres present guitarist Korina Vougiouka in a new CD: Laceworks. Vocal music by Schubert, Rossini and Bellini is re-shaped for solo guitar and interpreted by Korina Vougiouka in versions which provide the originals with a new dimension.The lieder and opera excerpts contained herein, stripped of lyrics, elements of dramaturgy and scoring techniques particular to their period, are not simple transcriptions by any means. They are, rather, transmutations which, taking advantage of the inherent nature of the guitar, illuminate harmonic, melodic and stylistic details of the original, weaving a delicate, aery composition — a “laceworkâ€.The first work in the CD is the well-known Rossiniana no.1, opus 119 by Mauro Giuliani, a renowned guitarist and composer, “The Paganini of the Guitar†as he was called in musical circles. Rossiniana no.1 is the first of 6 lengthy compositions of the “medley†type, collectively known as “Le Rossiniane†(op. 119-124) which Giuliani composed during his residence in Rome (1820-1823), based on musical themes from popular operas by Rossini.The three-part suite based on Vincenzo Bellini’s “Normaâ€, created by the composer Tasos Rosopoulos for Korina Vougiouka, is the second work in the CD and constitutes the most recent indication of Norma’s continuing appeal. The suite uses some well-known musical themes of the opera, including the famous invocation of the “Chaste Goddess†of the Moon (Casta Diva).The CD is concluded by Tasos Rosopoulos’ transcriptions of seven melodies from Franz Schubert’s “Winter Journey†(Winterreise) lieder circle (nos. 1, 2, 8, 12, 20, 22 and 24). Here, Korina Vougiouka’s interpretation manages to vindicate to a great degree the historical prejudice against the guitar as an instrument ill-fitting the deeper musical inspiration, while reminding the rising suitability of Schubert’s programmatic music to the new age of noisy loneliness…The “Norma†and “Winterreise†suites are world-premiere recordings, made by Tasos Bakasietas in the “Dimitris Mitropoulos†vestibule of the Megaron Athens Concert Hall. The CD was mastered by Christos Hadzistamou and is accompanied by texts by Kyriakos Loukakos, rendered in English by Nico Graptós. Design and photography by Christos Lialios.Vougiouka ...

“….. IMPROVISED CONTEMPORARY ART MUSIC MEETS FREE FORM JAZZ.â€Like a cold slap upside the head, improvised contemporary art music meets free form jazz. After years of faux interaction between art music and jazz, the reality has been achieved. Not the reality of a new hybrid genre but rather a new expression of improvised music through the interaction of two long established genres. Indeed, each piece in this program suggests a different solution to the problem of meaningful expression through improvised music.The central issue on this CD seems to be whether or not to keep time. “Jive At 5:05,†“Blue Lou†and “Rhythmic Interplay†are definitely keeping time, but are they what they appear to be or is there some ulterior purpose lurking in the background? Is Schumacher playing with us again? That leaves the remaining pieces which are not involved with time keeping. They run the gamut from the very atmospheric “Low Grade Anxiety,†which sounds like a score submitted by a contemporary composer, to the thoughtful (and demented) “instructive lecture†by Professor Musikmacher on “Dogma Of Dogmas.†There are the breathy whistles of “Huff And Puff,†and what is that cell phone at the end of “Call Waiting†about? “Force Field†finds the percussionist in an eerie and threatening sonic environment which he must very carefully play his way out of, while “The Real Deal†is definitely not a raw deal!Yes, Jive At 5:05 demonstrates to us what we may have suspected was possible all along; namely, that art music and jazz could stimulate each other into a new expressiveness. I would, however, like to suggest an even simpler possibility: that the “cold slap upside the head†I referred to is nothing more than the sudden awareness that classically trained musicians can improvise and that jazz musicians have enough musicianship to keep up with their classically trained counterparts. Who knew? Old stereotypes die hard!----- Steven EversoleMUSIC NOW ENSEMBLE: This ensemble is a collective of improvisers and composers of exceptional musicianship and imagination. The members of the collective perform in various combinations of players in order to offer a kaleidoscope of instrumentations consistent with the philosophy of free improvisation. Stanley Schumacher founded the ensemble in 2003 to present performances in both acoustical and electroacoustical formats and to promote the diversity and spontaneity of contemporary art music.STANLEY SCHUMACHER: ...
