5.0 out of 5 stars Twin Peaks' Renaissance Chapel?, 3 Jun 2004
By A Customer
ECM's most successful (commercially, let's say) crossocer jazz-classical album must be Jan Garbarek-Hilliard Ensemble collaboration "Memosyne". This album is just as haunting and beautiful, and most of Gavin Bryars' contemporary compositions would probably have been quite acceptable in Renaissance palaces and chapels.

All, that is, except "Four Elements", the longest composition here, at almost half an hour. This has a hypnotic power that grips the listener more fiecely than the other pieces for voice and instruments. ,It is strongly reminiscent of Angelo Badalamenti's music for "Twin Peaks", weird and moving at the same time, like a peek into the caravan of circus dwarfs. Bizarre but beautiful Bryars.

5.0 out of 5 stars The usual Bryars genius: melancholic yet uplifting, 27 May 2004
By Dobester (Istanbul, Turkey) - See all my reviews
(TOP 500 REVIEWER)   
Gavin Bryars is on top form on this disc, and more than ably aided and abetted by a platoon of superb musicians and singers. The four pieces begin with Incipit Vita Nova, sung by David James, whose beautiful voice graced the recent Hyperion Arvo Pärt release, Triodion. This is followed by a choral piece by the Hilliard Ensemble that is haunting and virtually drips with the mystic (So what's new, huh?)

The longer piece "Four Elements" develops four themes based on the ancients' elements: earth, air, fire and water. This is prime ECM stuff: is it jazz or is it classical? Whatever label you stick on it, it's brilliant: wonderful wind ensemble playing. A strange, delicate beauty.

Buy this record, it is beautiful. You deserve it.
