Editorial Reviews
The third release from Colin Currie's label celebrates the percussionist's artistic relationship with American cultural icon, Steve Reich. Programed at the composer's request and performed under his supervision, it captures a group of truly world-class performers at the peak of their powers. On this live recording, Currie conducts and performs with the Colin Currie Group and their long-standing collaborators Synergy Vocals. He is joined on stage by Steve Reich for a performance of Clapping Music. This album is essential for any Reich fan.

ライヒの指定が「7~10分」とあり、1977年が11分、エマールが8分なのに対して、このCDでは14分半もあります。テンポが遅いわけではないのでリピートが倍くらい多いのでしょう。1977年は残響の少ないパルシブな音で演奏記録にとどまり、エマールのピアノ版はそもそも無個性なピアノの音がつまらないのですが、この演奏ではホールトーンの豊かな残響と広い空間を思わせる澄み切った音質の演奏が何とも心地よく鑑賞するにふさわしいです。木の質感もよく伝わってきます。
Music for Pieces of Wood (1973)
for five pair of tuned claves
published by Universal Edition
参考までに。「クラベス」とは木片には違いないのですが、両手に持って向きをそろえて火の用心カチカチと打ち合わせる「拍子木」ではなく、叩かれる側の木片を片手で押さえて叩く側を持って交叉するような向きで叩きます。調律は叩かれる側で決まります。
David Bowieの Love Is Lost (Hello Steve Reich Mix by James Murphy for the DFA Edit)の冒頭でClapping Musicを真似て手を叩いていますがプロがやっても単調に聞こえます。「真似しようとして容易に出来ない」のは当たり前。作曲の神をも怖れぬ発言です。Pulseに「波動」という意味はありません。ピアノやベースの刻む「拍子」のことです。

Colin Currie Groupのリーダーであり、ミニマル・ミュージックの巨匠 Steve Reichの作品に取り組み「PULSE / QUARTET」「Drumming」といった優れたアルバムをリリースしてきました。
Reichからの信頼も厚いようで、このColin Currie Records第3弾の「Live at Fondation Louis Vuitton」は、Colin Currie & Steve Reich名義であり、ジャケットには2人が談笑するフォトが使われています。
更にReichは、1曲目「Clapping Music」でCurrieと共に手拍子を叩いています。たった2人の手拍子によるシンプルこのうえない曲ですが、真似しようとして容易に出来ないところがReichの偉大さを証明していると思います。
2曲目「Proverb」は、Colin Currie Group(ヴィブラフォン2、エレクトリック・オルガン2)にSynergy Vocals(ソプラノ3、テナー2)が加わった計9名による演奏で、Currieが指揮をとっています。冒頭から女性コーラスの澄み切った歌声が響き渡り、どこか厳かな雰囲気も漂います。その女性コーラスにヴィブラフォン、エレクトリック・オルガンが重なり、更に男性コーラスも加わると、9人全員が織りなすサウンドがゆったりと空間を満たし、霧深い森の奥に迷い込んだような心持ちになります。
3曲目から5曲目は、「Mallet Quartet」の「Ⅰ.Fast」「Ⅱ.Slow」「Ⅲ.Fast」。Currieも含むColin Currie Group(ヴィブラフォン2、マリンバ2)の計4名による演奏です。
「Ⅰ.Fast」は、疾走感があり、ヴィブラフォンが煌めくように美しく鳴りわたります。
そして、鮮やかに「Ⅱ.Slow」へと切り替わり、場はひっそりと静まっていく。
再びテンポが速まる「Ⅲ.Fast」は、「Ⅰ.Fast」よりも音色が多彩に感じられ、心地よいアンサンブルが滑らかに流れていきます。
6曲目「Pulse」は、このアルバムでは最も大編成で、Currieが指揮するColin Currie Group(フルート2、クラリネット2、ピアノ、ベースギター、ヴァイオリン4、ヴィオラ2)の計12名による演奏。全員が奏でるふくよかなサウンドには温もりが感じられ、タイトル通り「波動」となってリスナーを包み込んでいきます。
7曲目「Music for Pieces of Wood」は、Currieも含むColin Currie Group(パーカッションのみ5名)による演奏。拍子木など極めてシンプルな楽器により、リズミカルに奏でられます。14分を超える曲ですが、単調に感じられないのは、演奏者の技量によるものでしょうか? 鮮やかな打音が空間に解き放たれ、アルバムは幕を閉じます。
Clapping(手拍子)から始まり、Pieces of Wood (木片)を叩く音で終わる構成も見事。
全7曲、約64分。録音は、2017年12月2日・3日、パリにて。
Secondly, I really enjoy how these pieces were programmed...they flow together as one beautiful sequence with audience noise edited out. It feels like a clever journey into some less explored areas of Reich's music and one hopes that Currie might explore similar programmes in the future (I continue to hope that Music for a Large Ensemble will get a long overdue dusting off!)
A great collection.
Well, I'm pleased to say this CD is absolutely wonderful. The recording and production is superb, leaving us with all the detail (which is important when it comes to the likes of Proverb) and truly giving you that "you are there in the room with the musicians" feeling. The recording is exquisite, and I can't recommend it enough.
The performances are also very good. The highlight for me is Proverb, where the vocal duties here are performed by Synergy. It's enough to bring a tear to the eye. If you don't know this piece (it's not recorded often), it is based around the phrase: How small a thought it takes to fill a whole life. In performance it is unlike many of Reich's pieces, in that the repetitions don't seem as obvious. It's beautifully performed and recorded here.
The other pieces are likely well known, with perhaps the exception of Pulse, given that at the time of writing it's relatively new. There's not a lot I can say about them other than they continue the high level of performance.
Since it's 2019 on the Internet, I have to put at least one negative in here. So here's mine; keep in mind, this shouldn't prevent anyone from buying this excellent disc. For me, I'd of perhaps changed the sequence of the tracls. I'd of swapped Music for Pieces of Wood, with Pulse. I think emotionally the CD would have felt better on a more orchestral piece.
Still, a minor detail. Thank you Colo Currie and all theperformers here. And of course, Mr. Reich!!
