Hosokawa: The Raven [Charlotte Hellekant; United Instruments of Lucilin; Kentaro Kawase] [Naxos: 8573724]

Opis:

Product description Toshio Hosokawa, Japan's pre-eminent living composer, creates his distinctive musical language from the fascinating relationship between western avant-garde art and traditional Japanese culture. Inspired by Edgar Allan Poe's 1945 poem, Hosokawa frames his monodrama The Raven as a Japanese Noh play, with its interaction between the human protagonist and an otherworldly animal. Vividly exploring ideas of madness, The Raven conjures up a shadowy and unfamiliar world. Review The music is lapidary, open of texture, brimming with turbulent detail. --MusicWeb, May'17In the sections that Hosokawa does assign to the singing voice, it's still hard to escape the incessant rhyming couplets of the original, even at the climax, when the music finally achieves a kind of operatic intensity. Hellekant delivers it all superbly... --The Guardian, June'17
