Partch, Harry - Plectra and Percussion Dances
SKU
05-BRIDGE 9432CD
This is a new recording - the first complete recording - of a classic era composition by the great, maverick American composer, Harry Partch, performed by the group 'Partch', who specialize in the music and instruments of Harry, including re-creating the instruments where necessary, in order to have copies to take around to performances!
"This new recording marks the first complete performance of Harry Partch's major cycle in three parts, Plectra and Percussion Dances. On the original 1953 recording, 'Castor & Pollux' was missing three movements, and the finale, 'Even Wild Horses,' was missing its tenor saxophone part. The virtuosi of Partch give us revelatory interpretations of these stunningly original scores. Also included is a 7 minute spoken introduction, given by the composer in 1953 on the occasion of the broadcast premiere of this work."
