"much to savor in these two beautifully realized discs."

Product Description

Ned Rothenberg inaugurates his new label, Animul, with Intervals, a 2 cd set that is his first solo release in almost 10 years. Rothenberg’s solo work on alto saxophone, clarinet, bass clarinet and shakuhachi has been internationally acclaimed with over a thousand performances on 4 continents since 1980. His musical voice is built on a timbral palette which integrates ‘extended’ and standard instrumental technique into a seamless whole. As co-producer Marty Ehrlich writes in his portion of the albums’ notes: "With this double CD, we can hear where Ned Rothenberg has arrived after 20 years of exploring the solo concert and recording. Few artists of his generation have dedicated themselves so fully to this endeavor, and few have traveled so far. Solo playing has always put a premium on giving meaning to the statement, ' This is what I have to say, and how I have to say it' . I feel that Ned has arrived at a place where technique and artistic influence are truly secondary to the immediacy of bringing the above quoted statement to life. We are the richer for it."
