Product Description
From Amazon.co.uk
The Kronos Quartet's advocacy of contemporary music is one of the wonders of our time. Here the four players appear in triplicate, performing Steve Reich's Triple Quartet by pre-recording two quartets and playing the third simultaneously with the tape. As they have demonstrated time and time again in their vast repertoire, they possess the razor-sharp precision Reich's music begs for. The clear, closely miked recording means that the interplay of part work is consistently fascinating. The Kronos brings out an almost Copland-like quality in the second movement, which speaks of quiet, open spaces. The four pieces on this disc offer a perfectly balanced, musically satisfying set of contrasts. Electric Guitar Phase is a 2001 version of the 1967 Violin Phase with Dominic Frasca overdubbing the four electric guitar parts. Exuding a purer minimalism than Triple Quartet, Electric Guitar Phase is heady and hypnotic. Music for Large Ensemble is a glittering, xylophone/marimba-decorated panorama of sound, but it is a fitting tribute to the talents of marimba player Mika Yoshida that Tokyo/Vermont Counterpoint acts as a satisfying climax to the disc. Originally for flutes, alto flutes and piccolos and entitled merely Vermont Counterpoint, Yoshida's own arrangement is a truly virtuoso feat, gripping from first to last. --Colin Clarke
