Ricercare Plus

Description

Violin 1, Violin 2, Viola, Violoncello — "Lansky's fine ear for harmony and his restless and energetic rhythmic sense carry over from much of his computer music, but in these works, there is a newly found subtlety that seems inspiring to the interpreters heard in these performances. ...Lansky's Ricercare Plus includes references to early baroque and late renaissance part writing with non-vibrato sustained, overlapping lines, and rapid contrapuntal configurations. The work was written for the Brentano Quartet." (liner notes, Paul Lansky: Etudes and parodies, Bridge Records 9222) For advanced performers. Dur.: approx. 18'
