Music reviews of In Principio
Music Review: a more dramatic Part
Rating: 5 Stars
While long being an admirer of Part's works I have been ambivalent about some of his offerings where it seems too little musical material is stretched over too long a time and where unrelieved stasis is the end product ( e.g Stabat Mater ).
That is not the case with this latest ECM-Part issue.
In Principio - is a setting of the prologue of St. John's gospel contrasting chamber music-like meditative moments with dramatic symphonic climaxes .
Cecilia Vergine Romana - is a masterpiece with an astounding range of soundscapes and emotions distilled into sixteen and a half minutes. Whereas In Principio reminds one at times of Bruckner , this work is more Mahlerian with delicate harp and woodwind effects juxtaposed with aggressive brass figures.
La Sindone - a purely orchestral work, occupies a similar sound world to Cecilia Vergine Romana.
The other works on this disc are more familiar in style though it is fascinating to compare the orchestral setting of Mein Weg with its dramatic drum beats and tolling bells with the more detached style of the previous released organ setting ( 1992., ECM 1431 )
Overall this CD is an unqualified success and shows that Part is a fully mature great composer.
Description of In Principio
This is an eagerly-awaited record featuring exciting new music from one of the world's most famous living composers. The music provides an impressive overview of P?rt's recent stylistic development covering six touching compositions of different scale and instrumentation written between 1989 and 2005. These are "authentic" premiere recordings made with the composer's assistance: In principio (for mixed choir and orchestra) La Sindone (for orchestra) Cecilia, vergine romana (for mixed choir and orchestra) Da Pacem Domine (for mixed choir and orchestra) Mein Weg (for 14 strings and percussion) F?r Lennart in memoriam (for string orchestra) "In Principio" is being released to coincide with the 25-year anniversary of ECM's New Series that was launched with P?rt's "Tabula Rasa" in 1984- the disc which put the composer on the map internationally.General CDs
