Formless and forbidding
12 May 2010
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Marco Polo has done a sterling job for contemporary Irish composers, but the rewards have been variable. On the one hand we have been given the opportunity to discover the stirringly powerful music of Frank Corcoran; on the other we have also got to make an acquaintance with some second-rate music, and I cannot honestly claim that the music on this disc fall into anything but the latter category. The music of James Wilson is certainly not entirely without merit, and there are some imaginative textures and gestures here. But it never really adds up to very much.
Menorah, a viola concerto, is written in memory of the children who perished during the Holocaust, but doesn't ever rise above the mediocre in its mostly predictable and slightly lava-lampish, grey, non-tonal neo-romanticism. Pearl and Unicorn is a violin concerto, and is overall more interesting - it is still gray with no discernible themes and rather aimless, murky meandering, so it might not be worth more than a single listen (but I do guess that new music fans will find the time decently spent). The concertino is also over-sincere and structurally rather opaque. I do not think the performers are really to blame, but nothing here ever catches filght (or fire) and the disc is overall strictly for the specialist.
