![Toshiro Mayuzumi - Music with Sculpture
Music with Sculpture (1961)
Eastman Wind Ensemble
Donald Hunsberger
Music with Sculpture is one of five works by Mayuzumi commissioned by the American Wind Symphony. The score requires a large wind ensemble, with special emphasis on the exploration of individual woodwind tone colors. This composition, alternately delicate in nature and overwhelming in its power, is a series of tonal sculptings highly sectional in content. Each short period establishes a basic texture and presents this quality in a manner which offers contrasts between the woodwinds and brasses. Tonal in harmonic content, the work makes use of tone clusters within individual family sections offset by clearly stated individual solo tone qualities. Carefully woven as a fine tapestry, Music with Sculpture is distinctive through its very definite tone colorations in its primarily restive nature. [Deutsche Grammophon – 2530 063]

![Nikolai Medtner - Four Lyrical Fragments
Four Lyrical Fragments, Op. 23 (1896-1911)
I. Allegro commodamente
II. Andantino gracile [3:04]
III. Tempo di Valse [6:05]
IV. Andantino tenebroso [7:56]
Alexander Bachtschijev, piano
The Four Lyrical Fragments Op. 23 reveal yet again the sheer variety of Medtner’s invention. All are in minor keys but each occupies its own unique expressive world. Particularly treasurable are the second piece, a bittersweet romance of exquisite delicacy, and the brooding fourth which has so much in common with Medtner’s Pushkin setting Remembrance, Op 32 No 2, that it is easy to conclude that it represents a similar sleepless night of self-recrimination.

![Guy Reibel - Carnaval
Carnaval, pour un comédien, trois chœurs et bande magnétique (1969)
Texte de Roger Marty
Pierre Rousseau, comédien
Ensemble Vocal Stéphane Caillat et Choristes des Chorales A coeur joie de Paris
Boris De Vinogradow, Rainer Boesch, Stéphane Caillat, chefs de choeurs
Reibel, an accomplished technician, of creative imagination, making full use of modern electroacoustics, reaches in his compositions a harmonious fusion of lively thought and boundless means. While striving with an unerring instinct to follow the line, the inner pulse of sound matter, though he seeks to preserve the union with the basic essential functions of musical media, he has nonetheless succeeded in cutting out for himself from the jungle of contemporary sounds a path of exceptional clarity. However rich in meaning, however plentiful and compact are his works, they are above all admirably written, and, when read, astonish and delight, coming as they do at a time when so many others fall apart owing to saturation.
Carnival, composed for three amateur choirs, an actor, and a stereo magnetic tape, is a game, a meeting, a pantomine, an explosion of life, a vast chassé-croisé of diverse musical dramatic and sonorous situations where words, syllables and sounds are scattered in a confusion of mime, jumps, gestures and shrieks, where continuity is effected through crowd displacements and general movement. In this jungle of phonetics an irresistible elementary force, a proliferous abundant effervescence stand out and display themselves as being none other than natural micro or macroscopic phenomena. The fundamental asymetrical laws of nature reign over this music though it is governed by an irresistible logic. Not by any means the constrictive arbitrary logic of some pre-established form but the profound unpredictable yet unerring logic of moving matter. Thus Reibel, through his elaborately planned compositions, rejoins the sacral spring, the theatrical efficacy of the Balinese ketchak. [STU 70599]

![Alexandre Tansman - Cavatina
Cavatina (1951)
I. Preludio
II. Zarabanda
III. Scherzino
IV. Barcarola
V. Danza Pomposa
Ernesto Bitetti, guitar
Polish-born Alexandre Tansman (1897) is pianist, conductor, and one of today’s most important composers for the guitar. In a very unusual personal feat, he was awarded both first and second prizes for composition in 1919; it was accomplished by the young composer who submitted two different works, each under a different pseudonym. Later, in association with Ravel, he established himself as both pianist and conductor in Paris and later in the United States. During his years away from his native home Tansman retained his national and personal characteristics. His refined and sensitive art probably derives as much from syncopated rhythms and French-influenced modes of expression as from its original, strongly Polish quality. Tansman’s composing style has been compared to Chopin, who was a strong early influence, to Stravinsky, and Ravel, with music full of lyric tenderness and subtle melancholy. His works include symphonies, ballets, chamber music and oratorio. Tansman’s Cavatina for solo guitar received the first International Prize at the Academia Chigiana in Siena in 1951. It is a suite in the modern sense, beginning with a prelude, followed by a group of dances and ending with a light, frothy piece. [MS-871 Stereo]
