More Info „ARNOLD DREYBLATT ist ein Minimalist, der weiß, dass Musik etwas von einem Balzruf hat. Zusammen mit seinem ORCHESTRA OF EXCITED STRINGS swingt er auf eine verrückte Art und Weise, dabei präzise wie ein Schweizer Uhrwerk und unglaublich komplex. ,Live At Federal Hall 1981" ist die historisch wertvolle Aufnahme eines Konzerts in dem ARNOLD DREYBLATT AND THE ORCHESTRA OF EXCITED STRINGS die natürlichen Resonanzen des spektakulären Baus (in dem George Washington zum Präsidenten ernannt wurde) in ihre Musik mit einbeziehen. So entstanden sieben einzigartige Werke für Kontrabässe, Klavier, Orgel und Drehleier. Arnold Dreyblatt is a minimalist who never forgot that music is still the human mating call. Anyone who has experienced the composer's recordings with his marvelouslydubbed Orchestra of Excited Strings knows how madly Dreyblatt's pieces swing. This is music like a Swiss watch, precise in its mastery of time, but jumping with the whirring cogs and pulleys of minute mechanizations. Everything's moving, twitching about, a whirl of individual sounds ratcheting up and down in a modulated relationship to one another. Springy rhythms dance with each other in animated playfulness as clipped percussion and purposefully bowed strings generate delightful harmonic chatter. This live CD celebrates the 25th anniversary of Dreyblatt's historic concert at Federal Hall in New York (site of George Washington's Presidential inauguration). Utilizing the natural resonances of the structure's spectacular dome, Dreyblatt and company romp through seven outstanding pieces for just-intoned double basses, piano, hurdy gurdy and pipe organ, emphasizing dynamics and sonorities to stunning acoustical effect.“ [press release]
