performed by Aaron Shorr (piano), Albert Schweitzer Quintet, Ars Nova Copenhagen, Art Nouveau Ensemble, Boris Berman (prepared piano), Continuum, Elsbeth Moser (bayan), Jřrgen Plaetner (electronics), Kathrin Rabus (violin), Laura Mikkola (piano), Maria Kliegel (cello)

The Naxos label diverges from its usual plain graphic design with this attempt to create the idea of an "alternative classical" genre, an idea that has paid big dividends when applied to rock and country music. Most of the selections are drawn from existing Naxos releases, with a few taken from discs by Denmark's Da Capo and Germany's CPO labels. ...

Black Angels (1990) more music like this

performed by David Harrington (violin), Hank Dutt (viola), Joan Jeanrenaud (cello), John Sherba (violin), Kronos Quartet
composed by Charles Ives, Dmitry Shostakovich, George Crumb, Istvan Marta, Thomas Tallis

This disc is supposed to hurt. Just look at the program: it starts with Crumb's Black Angels for electric string quartet, a work that is the aural equivalent of Coppola's Apocalypse Now, and ends with Shostakovich's String Quartet No. 8, a work that is either the aural equivalent of a monument to the victims of war and fascism written in the ruins ...

composed by George Crumb

If an album's longevity is any indication of a work's success and acceptance, then George Crumb's Ancient Voices of Children has secured its niche. Recorded in 1971 with Jan de Gaetani and Arthur Weisberg's Contemporary Chamber Ensemble, it has stayed in Nonesuch's catalog far longer than most other avant-garde works of the time. Much of this work ...

composed by George Crumb

Nearly contemporary with his acclaimed masterpiece Ancient Voices of Children (1970), George Crumb's Songs, Drones, and Refrains of Death (1968) bears many similarities with it and may be considered as cut from the same cloth, since both cycles are part of Crumb's larger concentration on setting the poetry of Federico García Lorca. Along with ...

Covering the most fertile decades of the avant-garde movement in the United States, American String Quartets, 1950-1970 is a comprehensive survey of the most influential works in this concentrated genre. Broadly divided, these quartets represent either the full-flowering of post-Webern serialism or the more esoteric, philosophical conceptions of ...

Makrokosmos I and II for amplified piano (1972-1973) are vintage works by George Crumb, composed during the highly productive period that yielded his mystical Songs, Drones and Refrains of Death; Ancient Voices of Children; and Black Angels -- an impressive output that had a tremendous influence on the experimental music of the 1970s.

composed by George Crumb

If you've never heard the music of George Crumb before, you are in for a treat. Well, treat may not be exactly the right word; perhaps "an experience" would be a better way to put it. Written in 1970 and 1974, Crumb's Black Angels: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land for electric string quartet and Makrokosmos III: Music for a Summer Evening for 2 ...

composed by George Crumb

Because George Crumb's atmospheric compositions are usually scored for chamber ensembles and filled with myriad quiet effects, his larger-scaled orchestral works may be more difficult to recognize and appreciate. The private tone that Crumb practically trademarked, in such works as Ancient Voices of Children and Music for a Summer Evening, is ...
