May this series never end!” - (10/10 Highest Rating) Performed by the brilliant, young Miró Quartet, this performance, supervised by the composer, features a combination of early 21st Century virtuosity and state of the art recording technology.
Also included on this CD is a stunning new reading of Crumb's classic "Black Angels" for Electric String Quartet. Performed by Crumb's daughter, soprano Ann Crumb, with Orchestra 2001 conducted by James Freeman, the thirty-six minute cycle features spectacularly colorful (more than 75 percussion instruments) and moving renditions of such classic folk tunes as "Black, Black, Black is the Color", "Poor Wayfaring Stranger"," The Riddle", and "All the Pretty Little Horses".
Volume Seven of Bridge's Complete Crumb Edition features the world premiere recording of Crumb's new Appalachian folk song cycle, "Unto the Hills". this is dark, nasty, scary, aggressive, across-for-the-hospital-down-for-the-morgue : "10/10" Highest Rating the 2nd mov't (track 8) is singlehandedly responsible for my near absolute disdain of all things metal, and your litmus test for this disc few things rock harder and raw-er. the first employs razor-sharp electric instruments and just about every conceivable modern string technique, while the latter is undoubtedly in the top 5 of all 20th century string quartets: written in Dresden in 3 days (!), unashamedly tonal and yet decidedly heart-wrenching (dedicated to the victims of "fascism and war", yet really his own epitaph as he planned on committing suicide around this time) and alien. despite the excellent middle 3 pieces, the 2 showstoppers here are George Crumb's Black Angels and Mitia Shostakovich's 8th String Quartet. as you can probably guess, the theme here is DEATH, and the music is decidedly dark and evil throughout. This is one of the first albums that got me interested in modern composition.
