Album Notes
Mauricio Kagel is one of the keenest musical philosophers of the late 20th-century avant-garde and also one of its greatest wits. His music is always thought-provoking, often reflecting on music itself: the rituals of performance, the cult of genius composers, and the impact of technology and media on our musical perceptions. And somehow he manages to take on such heady topics while still maintaining a sense of humor and beauty.
'1898' was written for the 75th anniversary of the Deutsche Grammophon record company, and has received its first CD reissue just after DG's centennial. Appropriately for its commission, this work takes the birth of the phonograph as its topic, attempting to reconstruct an aural image of early, unstable recorded sound. Buzzing brass and crackling percussion represent 'composed' distortion, and children's voices make a surreal commentary on it all. 'Music for Renaissance Instruments' is a more focused work, with Kagel appropriating centuries-old instruments - recently rediscovered in the early music revival - and making creative and uninhibited use of them. Perhaps not since the Renaissance have crumhorns and recorders sounded so eerie or ethereal as they do in Kagel's hands, as he skillfully links their antique timbres with his own sense of tonal space.
