Wine inspired verses set to Partch.,
By Rayv "Dann" (Noho, Ma) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seventeen Lyrics of Li Po (Audio CD)
Ever read Li Po, one of the greatest Taoist poet ever. Li Po spent much of his life as a hermit wandering around the mountains and writing poetry: sounds like a pre-Jahpy Ryder. Anyway, Harry Partch has put his writings to music, utilizing original instruments such as the cloudchamber bowl and the prepared viola and guitar. I first heard these recordings on a scratchy Partch/John Cage LP sampler and constantly listened to the Partch side (I'm not a big Cage fan). Now that these recordings are finally available in digital format, they sound even better. Go out and buy the Cd, then read Li Po.

Umm...,
By boeanthropist "Philip Welsh" (Cambridge, MA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seventeen Lyrics of Li Po (Audio CD)
A noble undertaking, and historically commendable, but entirely too operatic and self-serious, I think, to really convey what Partch was trying get at. Buy the CRI Harry Partch discs instead.
