5.0 out of 5 stars
More arcadian delights,
By Simon Barrow (Exeter, United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Birtwistle: The Woman and the Hare (Audio CD)
Yeah, yeah.... I know. Some people still think that Birtwistle is obscure, overrated and generally squeaky-gateish. The thing is, they're wrong. And, along with 'Pulse Shadows' and the chamber assemblage 'Refrains and Choruses' (q.v.) this excellent collection of first recordings shows why. 'The Woman and the Hare' itself lasts only 15 minutes and squeezes in more musical freshness and ideas than most composers will come up with in a lifetime. An ideal instroduction to the music that emerges from the man, for that is the way that he proceeds. Text and sonority are intertwined in perfect harmony, and for once (given his propensity for dense reworking) you get a glimpse of their musical origins -- so often carefully disguised in Birtwistle's arcadian universe. A joy. Honest. Buy one and stop me...
