Fantastic performances........2005-05-02

"Maldoror" is a unique concept, producer Michael Montes put text rom Comte de Lautreamont in front of Friedlander-- the master cellist read the text and improvised what he saw. The results are nothing short of breathtaking.

If you're not familiar with Friedlander's work with John Zorn and others, you're likely in for quite a pleasant surprise-- I can think of very few musicians I have had the pleasure of hearing who possess such a stunning command of their instrument as Friedlander does. His technique is overwhelming, particularly in pizzicato, and as an improviser, he is agile and inventive. These lead to the great strength of this record, namely that Friedlander can through his technique express something much more visceral than one would expect from any musical performance.

The improvisations are largely oriented on texture and space, whether arco or pizzicato-- each note counts, as does each lack of note. Friedlander may have an overwhelming technique, but what makes both him and this recording brilliant is his ability to make decisions about when to show it and when not to. "The Wind Groans", for example, is better served by long tones and understated delivery, to meet the mood of the piece he read, then it is by any show of powerful playing.

For fans of improvised music and virtuoso performance, this album is essential. Highly recommended.

Dark, Weird & Accessible.......2004-01-12

I bought this because I saw a piece on Erik and this record in the Wire, a magazine I really trust. And though it's not the kind of thing I usually pick up, I love Maldoror. It consists of dark and atmospheric cello scraping, bowing, plucking, and pulling -- all improvised. I know, I know, it sounds like it'd be really weird and inaccessible, but there's something about Friedlander's sense of melody, his technique, and his ability to compose on the fly that makes this a record a classy little thing. It makes me think of dark moments, French films, and John Coltrane's best work. Try it. You'll like it.

Customer Reviews:

good recording!.......2005-09-09

I have personally played the passacaglia and postcard, and these are beautiful performances of each. highly recommended to fans of the wind band.

Excellent Musicianship.......2000-01-14

I love this recording! The best part about it is Ron Nelson's Passacaglia. I have six recordings of that single piece, and this is the best one! It is so intense, and the fermata at the end almost seems like it will never end! John Adams' Short Ride in a Fast Machine is always a treat to listen to. The music of Frank Ticheli is very intriguing in its rhythmic complexities and musical language. I had never heard of Bob Margolis' Terpsichore before I heard this album. I think it is a wonderful piece, and an excellent interpretation of the styles and moods of the Renaissance dance pieces. Suite Francaise is a great piece as well. There is so much to love in this album, a wonderful compilation! Played with brilliance and conducted with passion. I cannot say enough about this recording. BUY IT! BUY IT NOW!

If you enjoy relaxing with great instrumental music and no lyrics you'll love this CD. Soft,beautiful music blended so well and a few tracks of equally accomplished light jazz make this a truly great collection of music. Acoustic guitars,piano,violins,mandolin,electric basses etc. are mixed as well as I've heard.

Brow raising music for the symphonic band.......1999-01-15

This has got to be one of the very best bands in America, if not the world. The range of compositions featured on this recording varies from staples of band literature (Holst's little played "Hammersmith"), to one of the most brilliant new pieces of the decade, Welcher's "Zion", a tone poem with elements of minimalism, band bravada, and more than a passing nod to Copland. The disc is a must for all devoted to the symphonic band.

Like a gentle breeze - Wind Machine pleases.......2005-09-28

I truly belive that Steve Mesple and crew cannot make a bad album (CD). That said, this is one of the best in the Wind Machine cataloge. The songs are great the performances, especially "Land of Fire", are spectacular. If you enjoy great music, this CD is for you. Call it "Jazz", or "New Age" or "Instrumental Pop" or as Miles once said "Call it anything", but play it over and over again. Well done !

A great effort by a polished band, Timeline illustrates Windmachines consistancy in writing evocotive,timely music that reflects the craftmanship of true musicians. From spanish influences to Celtic rythms, Timeline spans a variety of musical tastes that will please everyone.

Makes a great dinner music cd

This album gives the listener the feeling of a backyard picnic or a family gathering. I come away each and everytime after listening to this album with the feeling that somewhere deep down inside of each of us, there is a peaceful feeling that somehow the songs on this album can tap into.

I reccomend this album for family gatherings or as background music at meetings, of all places.

Remembering Past Enchantments And Past Ills.......2004-06-07

Few composers outside of the classical canon have expressed the ineffable as beautifully as Ennio Morricone. The Italian Morricone, who has written scores of wildly varying quality for over 400 films, came to international prominence with and is still best - known in America for his "Spaghetti Western" scores of several classic Sergio Leone films of the Sixties, such as A Fistful of Dollars (1964), The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly (1966), and Once Upon A Time In The West (1969).

With the Leone scores, Morricone created musical pieces structured like complex mathematical equations, many of which were suffused with a driving, hypnotic, and archetypal power. In fact, the soundtrack for The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly was so dramatically dynamic that it thoroughly outstripped the finished film in terms of imaginative potential. Only with Once Upon A Time In The West did Leone create a film well crafted and realized enough to match Morricone's entrancing, playful, and occasionally perditious score. Similarly, Dario Argento's The Bird With The Crystal Plumage (1969) almost completely failed to utilize Morricone's contribution, the best portions of which were heard only dimly and sporadically in the finished film. Leone's late masterpiece, Once Upon A Time In America (1984), two - thirds a perfect film, also failed to fully rise to the occasion of Morricone's simultaneously poignant, wistful, and wonderfully exuberant score.

Today, Morricone's work is available on literally hundreds of soundtracks and soundtrack compilations dedicated to the composer, very few of which are entirely satisfying. An Ennio Morricone Anthology (1995), which contains 45 tracks from 39 films produced in Italy from 1965 onward, perpetuates this frustrating tradition.

Of the 45 tracks, about a third represent Morricone realizing or approaching the height of his talent, another third are fairly interesting but ultimately repetitious and self-cannibalizing, and the final third, which may have worked reasonably well within the context of the films they were written for, never rise above the status of shrill, discordant, and bellowing kitsch (several attempt a Henry Mancini - like levity and fall flat). In fact, there is a great deal of healthy, raw, and leveling vulgarity even in some of Morricone's most famous compositions, such as "Le Vent, Le Cri" from 1981's The Professional and "Chi Mai" from 1971's Maddalena, both of which are included.

Those seeking haunting compositions on the scale of "L'Estasi Dell 'Oro" or "Il Triello" from The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly or "Poverty" from Once Upon A Time In America will be disappointed to find very few pieces approaching their caliber here, especially if already familiar with such well - known pieces such as "Moscow Farewell" from the 1987 film of the same name or the otherworldly "Il Gatto A Nove Code" from The Cat O' Nine Tails (1971).

As compositions of vastly different quality are interspersed amongst one another in dizzying array, many may find An Ennio Morricone Anthology virtually impossible to listen to from beginning to end without skipping tracks repeatedly. As a genius whose greatest compositions address both the immanent and the transcendent, both perdition and salvation, both the archaic and the modern, Morricone and his admirers deserve a more carefully selected and thoughtfully produced anthology than this haphazard collection offers.

Delightful scores from Ennio Morricone.......1998-12-19

Few composers in film music today are as greatly admired as Ennio Morricone whose scores for a wide range of screen fares and many Oscar nominations and wins have attracted the attention of fans all over the world. This compilation is one of the best and contains very fine original musics and rare tracks of this Italian composer.
