专辑简介

この楽曲は、先日開催されたホールワンマンライブ『虎虎』の大阪・NHK大阪ホール公演で先行して披露された新曲。彼女の作品の中でも異色なテイストの楽曲で、洗練されたエッジィなサウンドと頭の中を解放したかのような不思議な歌詞の世界感となっている一曲だ。it is salutary to remember that forebears in the string sextet were minimal before the 1860s – the ensemble is seamless.
The only minor misjudgement comes when violinist Corina Belcea brings a sudden gutsier tone to the secondary phrase of op.18’s Scherzo, which leaps out of its sleek surroundings as a rather rustic interloper (the Second Sextet’s Presto giocoso feels more appropriate for this kind of colouring). But it’s a small point and not one that ultimately detracts from what are benchmark recordings and performances of the two sextets, full of the fresh Romantic spirit of their young composer.
Although the two works form a natural pair, they have contrasting characters and the players differentiate their moods and sound worlds judiciously, bringing plenty of warmth to the long melodic lines, rich texture to the harmonies and contrapuntal interplay, and a buoyant rhythmic verve in the swifter movements. The Vienna Konzerthaus provides just the right ambience for a recording with expertly balanced sound.
