Artist:	SCHWARZ & BENAT ACHIARY, JEAN
Title:	Goni'ko Zalduna/Itzala
Label:	INA GRM (FRANCE)
Format:	2CD
Price:	$30.00
Catalog #:	INA CL9820/1CD

Features two relatively recent works: "Goñi'ko Zalduna" (1994) and "Itzala" (1997). Both are long, CD-length epics, 74 & 70 minutes respectively. "Goñi'ko Zalduna" is an opera about "the Legend of the Knight of the Goni". Incidental sounds and ethereal coral effects have their merit, but in limited fashion. "Itzala" is also operatic, but to a much more insane degree -- I'd hate to kill the potential of ever selling a copy of this, but if you could imagine a more musically trained version of Costes -- well, there are moments on this CD that replicate that sort of disdain for convention. Plus a classicist feel for surreal imagery and in general: very flipped atmosphere.
