James Tenney musikFabrik - Forms 1 4 In Memoriam Edgar Varèse John Cage Stefan Wolpe Morton Feldman
Review by Nicolas Diaz
The album "Forms 1-4 In Memoriam Edgar Varèse John Cage Stefan Wolpe Morton Feldman" by James Tenney musikFabrik is a stunning tribute to some of the most influential composers of the 20th century. The album features four pieces, each dedicated to one of the composers mentioned in the title.
The music on this album is experimental and avant-garde, yet also deeply emotional and moving. Tenney's compositions are intricate and complex, yet they never feel overly intellectual or academic. Instead, they are full of life and energy, and they showcase the incredible talents of both the composer and the performers.
The musicians of musikFabrik are truly exceptional, and they bring a level of precision and dedication to these pieces that is truly awe-inspiring. They navigate the challenging and often unconventional score with ease, bringing out the subtle nuances and textures of the music in a way that is truly remarkable.
