Product details
"This CD 'I was like WOW' came about because I
wanted to showcase my life in music through a palette of bassoon
colours. The pieces reflect where I have come from, and where I
am now. I want to take the listener on a voyage, from lyrical to
challenging music."
Enjoy the journey! Lorelei Dowling
Feeling it was time to introduce the world to a cross section of
contemporary bassoon works, her CD, 'I was like WOW' has been
compiled from studio and live recordings.
Starting with five pieces from her great friend, composer and
pianist, Elena Kats-Chernin, the work represents the natural
surroundings and light heartedness from Lorelei's place of birth,
Australia.
'Celluloid' for solo bassoon, a highly virtuosic work, composed
by Johannes Marie Staud, incorporates the gamut of contemporary
techniques with melodic ideas. Extremely wild with a juxtaposing
and mesmerizing multiphonic section, this solo piece is like
bassoon on steroids.
Another great friend, composer, Pierluigi Billone, has dedicated
many pieces to Lorelei. 'Blaues Fragment' is a wonderful example
of his atmospheric and ethereal style.
As a contemporary artist, Dowling felt she must make a political
statement. Jacob TV's 'I was like WOW', is a piece she arranged
for bassoon from the original trombone part. The CD accompaniment
is based on interviews with two US soldiers who returned severely
wounded from the Iraq war in 2003. The piece is a powerful,
emotional statement for both listener and performer.
The monumental work by a composer greatly admired by Lorelei,
Sofia Gubaidulina, finalises the spectrum. Recorded in concert by
the Austrian National Radio (ORF) to a full house in the Mozart
Saal, Konzerthaus Wien, 'Concerto for Bassoon and Low Strings',
performed with Dowling's colleagues from Klangforum Wien was a
highlight of the soloist's career.
Duration: 75 min.
