"I think the combination of age and a greater coming together is responsible for the speed of the passing time. [..] In the indifferent brutality, the incessant noise, [..] I can act with clarity and meaning." https://t.co/YGlQfcdWnC

Chatter Archival Recording #8: Joseph Johnson, solo cello. This one comes from the mists of history: August 2015, only a few weeks before we moved from the Kosmos on 5th Street to our current Sunday home at Las Puertas. https://t.co/ca3sTaLE7w

@jbouie Don't forget Branford Marsalis. TONS of soprano sax, it is truly the icing on this movie's cake.

[ChatterAbq @ChatterABQ]

The group also presents--twice, on both sides of the silence!--Thomas Adès's arrangement of François Couperin's quizzical, cyclical Les Baricades Mysterieuses, which makes a lithesome amuse-bouche for the vibrant, intrepid music by Schoenberg.

[ChatterAbq @ChatterABQ]

The concert opens with Breathing, a luminous wind octet from 2007 by the renowned Icelandic composer, and inventive musical texturalist, @annathorvalds.

[ChatterAbq @ChatterABQ]

You can hear Viennese dance music all over this piece, and Mahler, whose symphonic aesthetics are here compressed and taut, as though viewed under a microscope. It's still reasonable to say that this piece is in E Major, but just barely.

[ChatterAbq @ChatterABQ]

This piece is a riot -- an early, transitional work for Schoenberg, connecting his later harmonic experimentalism with his foundations in the Viennese musical tradition.
