Prokofiev - Ness: Fire Walker
) | Label: Catalog: LWC1259 Format: COMPACT DISC Rimul, Thomas; Ensemble Ernst; Flatby, Marius; Övinge, Sara; Hafskjold, Ingvill; Hauge, Gunnar; Walker, Marion; Rensvik, AndersThe quintet, with its peculiar instrumentation and its tonal and rhythmic playfulness— described by some as “successfully circusy”—is a prime example of Prokofiev as an ironist and humorist, a superb craftsman who elegantly juggles his material and produces surprisingly sonorous, tonal and rhythmic kaleidoscopes. Humour has long been a central ingredient in Jon Øivind Ness's music, but there has been a development from the anarchistic maximal to the punctuated minimal.  Price: $29.98 |
