Tigran Mansurian's music is rooted in Armenian folk and church music filtered through contemporary Europeans, especially Bartók. In many respects he resembles other post-Soviet composers like Schnittke and Svirdov, sharing their combination of elusiveness and accessibility. Kim Kashkashian has long championed his works, and the outstanding violist is superb here. She's the center of gravity in the Viola Concerto, titled "...and then I was in time again," a quote from Faulkner and resembling his stream-of-consciousness style. The complex interplay of soloist and 18 strings fascinates, the two going their own ways and coming together again in unpredictable fashion but always to expressive effect. It's in two movements, the first more dramatic, the second poignant. In Lachrymae, Kashkashian is joined by Garbarek's soprano sax, the pair weaving their lines together, often blurring the distinction between their instruments. In the final piece, Confessing with Faith, the solo viola sings its expressive commentary to seven medieval prayers intensely sung with tonal purity by The Hilliard Ensemble. Leonidas Kavakos is the excellent soloist in the Violin Concerto, an earlier work in one long movement whose blend of drama and prayerful sadness are riveting--and rivetingly played. An important set of powerful, melodic music brilliantly performed, with ECM's usual first-rate sonic and production values. --Dan Davis

Unhesitatingly recommended.......2005-08-09

Perhaps I am not the only one whose introduction to Kashkashian's lovely viola was Jan Garbarek's "In Praise of Dreams." So, as I was seeking to feed a spiritual hunger among Amazon's classical offerings, as I dug around Part and Schnittke, Penderecki and Gorecki, suddenly among all the "more like this" appeared the name Kim Kashkashian: "Monodia." I clicked, and found that it includes a piece played with Garbarek on soprano sax, "Lachrymae." As the Amazon.com review says, their playing "often blurring the distinction between their instruments," reminds one of the Dreams exchanges.

If you followed Garbarek through his wonderful outings with the Hilliard Ensemble, "Officium" and "Mnemosyne", you'll be excited to note that the Hilliards perform here as well, with Kashkashian's mellow viola rather than Garbarek's sax. That alone made me hit the 1-click.

I do not know enough about composition to understand the title -- I cannot tell a monodic from a polyphonic, or any other, composition. [To further confuse me, in the liner notes the interviewer asks Kim K. about monody, and she points out that the composition under discussion, the Concerto for viola and orchestra, is not monodic...(?)] But the joy of hearing this music, the depth of feeling that the players display, make these issues seem academic to me. The feeling is there, name it if you must but most of all, experience it!

The rich experience of this spiritual music is a joy in itself, but ECM frosted the cake by packaging the 2 CD set with a full bi-lingual (ENG-DE) booklet, with plenty of photos. I have to admit I don't usually pay much attention to liner notes, but I found this booklet a wonderful touch.

This is not an inexpensive addition to your collection, but I found it worth every red cent.

A classic recital of these relatively unknown concerti.......2002-11-03

To anyone acquainted with the works of Louis Auguste Lebrun,this is a truly classic recital of the first full opus of his oboe concerti. In his true style, Holliger has managed to capture the necessary ambience required for these concerti.
The 2 CD's are re-issues of the original DIGITAL vinyls,issued on the Archiv Label.

To those unfamiliar with the works of Lebrun, who wish to experiment with new composers and new gendre in general, this re-release comes with my full recommendations.
You will not be sorry with the purchase.

P.S Have a look at the Channel Classics CD cs16198
Bart Schneemann's playing is outstanding, but the opus is not complete. Only 3 concerti were recorded.

Indications are that Channel Classic is planning to complete the opus during the 2003-2004 season, plus issue the remaining 8 of 14 concerti(as per my communication with Channel Classics).

Fantastic album.......2005-07-12

This disc should be better known. DJ Tomcraft does amazing things on tracks like "Loneliness", "Brainwashed", "Overdose", "Into the Light", and "Under the Blue". This is a true experience, very dark and unnerving.

Great album from Tomcraft.......2005-10-21

This is one of those slick, neat, and just downright f_cking cool electronic albums that quite literally takes you on pleasurable journey through the eyes and ears of Tomcraft. Tracks 1 to 10, for example, follow the narrative of taking an aeroplane flight in Europe somewhere, with samples of stewards going through a pre-flight routine with passengers, the plane's captain talking occasionally, and so on. Clever and catchy stuff.

Tomcraft is a talented artist. This album is testament to that. I think additionally that this album is worth the investment for its extra tracks. Track 11 ("F_ck You") is quite humorous but at the same time a totally brilliant composition. Listen to Tomcraft and you'll see he's not one of those electronic artists who just remixes archaic tunes from the 70s and 80s with new beats and such. No, Tomcraft is a man on a mission. Lend him your ears and he won't disappoint.

Tomcraft means quality.......2004-12-23

Dance house rave beats with all vocals in English for the international marketplace to enjoy.

Tomcraft means quality, the other dj's must be lazy.
