Product details
Emerging Brisbane-based ensemble Collusion has produced a disc of
inspiration, imagery and energy in their first release for Move
Records, In Depth. An enticing melting pot of influences, In
Depth is comprised entirely of music written in the last twenty
years. Jewish klezmer music, disco back-beats and the exoticism
of Arabia and far away lands sit comfortably beside works
inspired by minimalism and dance, unified by the fresh approach
of this young group and the vital conviction of their
intentions.
Perhaps of most interest in terms of the repertoire chosen is the
group's commitment to supporting Australian, and up-and-coming
young Australian, composers. Four such works on In Depth have
been recorded for the first time for commercial release. A very
polished and almost cinematic work, Chamber Concertino, by young
composer Steven Baker shows great promise, as does Tom Adeney's
setting of the Danish text Sommer I Gurre. Paul Stanhope's Sea
Chronicles for soprano and string quartet is a simply stunning
work and a welcome addition to the recorded repertoire. Stanhope
describes the performance as a "beautifully-shaped interpretation
of my Sea Chronicles. Collusion perform with precision, verve and
great aplomb." Similarly, Gerard Brophy's quirky Sheer Nylon
Dances, complete with grand piano enhanced with rubber window
stoppers, is a real treat. Brophy was "particularly delighted
with this superb performance".
