Philippe Boesmans - Intervalles II Création Mondiale Sur Mi Fanfare I

Review by rod rushing

The album Intervalles II Création Mondiale Sur Mi Fanfare I by Philippe Boesmans is a remarkable collection of contemporary classical compositions that showcase the composer's unique style and artistic vision. The album features a range of instrumental pieces, including strings, percussion, and brass, all of which are expertly performed by the Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles.

Boesmans' compositions are characterized by their intricate harmonies, dissonant chords, and unconventional melodies, which create a sense of tension and suspense throughout the album. The pieces are also notable for their use of unconventional instrumentation, such as the use of a bullroarer in "Intervalles II," which adds a haunting, otherworldly quality to the music.

Despite its experimental nature, the album is also accessible and engaging, with moments of beauty and lyricism that balance out the more complex and challenging passages. The Ensemble Musiques Nouvelles delivers a stunning performance throughout, bringing Boesmans' compositions to life with precision, passion, and sensitivity.
