Intakt CD 096 / 2004
After the highly praised trio CD, Odyssey, the composer and bassist Barry Guy presents a new CD - ITHACA . with the same trio members, pianist Marilyn Crispell and percussionist Paul Lytton. For his new compositions, Barry Guy was inspired by modern architecture and painting. George Vaughan's painting Ithaca as well as the constructions of both architects Zaha Hadid and Daniel Libeskind served as inspiration. A music has emerged of a tense and lacerating beauty. Tonal painting contrasts with abstract reflection. Expressive moments stand next to elegant moods. Powerful improvisation goes up in lyrical intimacy.

Entstanden ist eine Musik von einer zum Zerreissen gespannten Schönheit. Klangmalerisches kontrastiert mit abstrakter Reflexion. Expressive Momente stehen neben elegischen Stimmungen. Kraftvolle Improvisationen gehen auf in lyrischer Intimität. |
