5.0 out of 5 stars
Great music - odd title,
By Thelonious "music, philosophy and math" (West Coast, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Romantic Approach: A Special Collection of 20th Century American Music (Audio CD)
This is a great collection of gentle, contemplative (but not flaccid) mid-20th century (mostly 'classical') music. Beautiful stuff that might slightly challenge you with some subtle dissonances, but is overall a quite relaxing and calming experience. If nothing else this will prove that mid-20th century classical is not all Schoenberg and Babbit (and show that Cage actually wrote some music before becoming a conceptual artist)
The marketing is a little weird - it's a New Age label and the title, notes and ad copy all stress romanticism (which in the context of classical music really means something fairly specific that does not, I believe, apply here). It's not your typical New Age fare (though it could conceivably work in that context) nor even your typical "easy classics" compilation. A personal favorite is the movement from a chamber piece by Peter Schickele (who is also known by a another name). I also like the Cage piece a lot. Highly recommended |
