Eighth Blackbird Reviews

Since ASO Media has seemingly moved away from recording this kind of repertoire, perhaps this 2011 project needs some critical attention. As I've written elsewhere, Robert Spano has created a world-class ensemble in the American South that rivals any major orchestra working today. In new and exciting works, especially those with chorus, they have literally no peer...

Summary for the Busy Executive: Strange imaginary landscapes. I seem to find myself on the outs with most classical-music lovers, simply because I don't a priori hate contemporary music.

The four works included here cover a huge range of styles, and each one is well worth hearing...

It's really good to have a disc of Frederic Rzewski's instrumental music, even if two of the works recorded here are arrangements (authorized by the composer). Les Moutons de Panurge is a rambunctious game of counting sheep--a melody that grows by adding a note on each repetition, with the process then reversed, all at high speed...

The six performers that comprise Eighth Blackbird play with such breathtaking virtuosity that it's very tempting to sit back and simply gasp in admiration. This is particularly the case when, as here, the program is so interesting and intelligently designed. All of the music on this disc exploits a vast range of timbral effects while taking in a very wide stylistic range from one composer to the next...
