"This music has vitality, and is played here by an amazing soloist, one who knows just about everything his own instrument can do, and many others besides. This sense of detail and of discovery leads to many a risible scene. Matthias Arter, a pupil of Heinz Holliger, is a composer, oboist and conductor, and has developed many creative projects and events. His works are playful, concrete, associative: the twin bellows of the accordion tell of this (Vladimir Blagojevic); streams of air and concomitant resonances are tested out with a panoply of flutes (Boris Previ?ic); and various registers of the piano come into play too (Kristine Sutidze). Horn (Olivier Darbellay) and recorder (Céline Herrero) raise their voices too. The musical language is full of contradictions, and the strings are a veritable ban-shee of voices: violin (Patricia Kopatchinskaja), violoncello (Tobias Moster) -- plus a poem by Cecília Meireles: 'Música', soprano (Sylvia Nopper), which is read, rent asunder and, to much rustling, put back together..." Stereo/multichannel hybrid SACD that can be played on any CD player.
