Zsófia Boros - Le labyrinthe de Vermeer | ECM Records ( composed by Mathias Duplessy) 

  🎸 古典吉他 Classical Guitar || 出生於布拉格的匈牙利吉他手-索非亞· 波洛絲 Zsófia Boros/ Hungarian guitarist Zsófia Boros was born in Prague in 1980  

“我經常認為音樂的選擇權掌握在自己手中，但後來我想知道音樂是否選擇了我作為媒介。 我的立意總是非常直覺； 當一首音樂抓住或觸動我時，我想反映它——成為一面鏡子並傳達它。 Often I think I am holding the choice of music in my own hands, but later I wonder if the music has chosen me as a medium. My approach is always very intuitive; when a piece of music grips or touches me, I want to reflect it – to become a mirror and convey it.”

And 索非亞．波洛絲（Zsófia Boros）的專輯《最後的氣息》El Ultimo aliento (CD) 2023.

一則是來自阿根廷的當代作曲，另一則是法國作曲家Mathias Duplessy的音樂。《Fanfare》雜誌對這位匈牙利籍吉他手給予了極高的評價，讚揚她「清晰優美的音色、流暢的演奏、精確的旋律與伴奏結合、靈活的裝飾音以及充滿情感的演繹」。這張專輯的名字取自Carlos Moscardini的作品，也是專輯的結尾曲 - El último aliento.

Boros在專輯中演繹了其他阿根廷作曲家如Joaquín Alem、Quique Sinesi和Alberto Ginastera的作品。在第七首的《Tormenta de ilusión》中，Boros換了來自安第斯地區的傳統撥弦樂器「Ronroco」。通過將阿根廷音樂與Duplessy的曲子相結合，以悄然方式創造出一個懸疑的專輯，突顯了她獨特的音樂風格。

Keith Jarrett / Jack Dejohnette :: Ruta and Daitya

Recorded in 1971, and released two years later via ECM, Keith Jarrett’s collaboration with drummer Jack DeJohnette marks one of the last times the keyboardist would flex electric. Fresh off his two year stint behind the boards in Miles Davis’s electric band, Ruta and Daitya features seven duets produced by label head Manfred Eicher. With a palette skirting between sinuous electric funk and acoustic washes of percussion, flute and piano, the forty-one minute runtime does well to maintain a cohesive identity without feeling aesthetically schizophrenic.

Arve Henriksen and Harmen Fraanje — Touch of Time (ECM)

What exactly is a “Redream?” Yes, it’s the third piece on trumpeter Arve Henriksen and pianist Harmen Fraanje’s new collaborative album and one of Fraanje’s own compositions, but is it a dream reboot or a contemplative revisitation of somnolence, a “regard” a la Messiaen in contemplation of the baby Jesus? Like the music on Touch of Time, that elusive title occupies a between space, a glance toward opposites that never quite solidify as expected but float by, imbued with  introspective calm.

As with so many ECM albums, music and production were made for each other. Henriksen’s sound has been documented enough to need little description. Its combination of reed, flute and voice expands and obfuscates in tandem, but the breath supporting that constantly morphing timbre may never have been caught with just this level of detail in motion. It moves in physical space with the same easy grace carrying each note toward the myriad conclusions Henriksen has perfected. His inaugural phrase of “Passing on the Past” skims those shadowy lines as lush vibrato and cloudy tone bolster notes wavering through and around each other, each luffing breath a new tempo against Fraanje’s ghostly shades of motive and chord. Henriksen’s use of electronics is tasteful, as when “The Dark Light”’s melody takes on the heft of cathedral harmonies and “Mirror Images” sits anchored in a clear but deep pool of drone. In a continuation of his work on Mats Eilertsen’s And Then Comes the Night, actually recorded in the same space, Fraanje’s pianism is captured in similarly staggering detail. Every nuance of “Redream”’s pianism is front and center, and it’s as if we can watch him pedal, digging deep into each gesture as his foot teases phrases forth with rhythmic variation akin to Henriksen’s breath control. His incorporation of melodic fragments outside whatever scale the duo’s inhabiting demonstrates a masterful adventurousness, a subtly inquisitive nature tempering harmonic stasis, whispering mischievous implications at the boundaries of conventional expression.

That’s what ECM has been doing for 55 years. The label has expanded, often via methods less overt, the spaces in which being “Avant Garde” are delineated. It is spaces just like those explored by Henriksen and Fraanje that Manfred Eicher has been opening at least since Afternoon of a Georgia Faun, Marion Brown’s awe-inspiring 1970 improvised soundscape, or did the meditative universe come into being with Benny Maupin’s 1974 masterpiece The Jewel in the Lotus? Like Allan Pettersson’s approach to shifting planes of harmonic consonance and dissonance in his symphonies, those two albums defined the emotionally adjacent innovations and conventionalities the label so often explores, but ECM production offers so much more to experience. Touch of Time demonstrates yet another aspect of adherence to the label’s lineage of atmospheric sonics. Whether live or under studio conditions, foregrounded detail and room ambiance combine in a way few, if any, other labels achieve. Each creak from Fraanje’s bench or instrument and the slightest breathy movement Henriksen executes comes aliveand becomes an integral component to the music’s evolution. Each sonic document from ECM provides a coexistent narrative, telling the story of its creation even as that creation manifests, but those narratives are thorough-going. Ensembles, even a duo, morph, shedding notions of size and surrounding space even as the music eschews the confines of harmony, melody and their predispositions. Touch of Time is one of the label’s most stirring recent examples of double-narrative. Dig deeper into the electronics Henriksen employs to find worlds of undulant harmony in glorious states of becoming, and each note Fraanje plays decays with his instrument’s glorious overtones in full view. Go deeper still into each key stroke and sonic moment to find that timbre succumbs to similar flights of fancy. Are those metallic cube sounds peppering an atmosphere? Is there a ghost harmony just below a melodic surface? Did those notes external to the scale really fit perfectly after all? Re-audition tells one story, then another, and finally reiterates the first in a new way, a (re)experience well worth having.

Zsófia Boros   Nocturne (Mathias Duplessy) | ECM Records

The focus of Zsófia Boros’s third recording for ECM’s New Series is split two-ways, with one spotlight turned towards contemporary compositions from Argentina and the other on the multiple-idioms spanning music of French composer Mathias Duplessy. Fanfare magazine has spoken of the Vienna-based Hungarian guitarist in glowing terms, noting her “clear, beautiful tone, liquid phrasing, precise layering of melody and accompaniment, fluid figuration and her emphatic sense of mood and emotion” – all qualities that are especially apparent on El último aliento. The album takes its name from the Carlos Moscardini composition which closes the record. Other Argentinian composers interpreted by Boros here are Joaquín Alem, Quique Sinesi and Alberto Ginastera, together making for a vivid repertory that sees the guitarist alternating technique, pace and mood in supple waves. For Sinesi’s “Tormenta de ilusión” Boros switches to the ronroco, a stringed instrument that hails from the Andean regions. By combining the Argentinian music with the expressive pieces by Duplessy, Zsófia Boros creates a suspenseful programme that emphasizes her distinct touch, commitment and wide ranging influences in a quietly compelling manner. The album was recorded at the Auditorio Stelio Molo in Lugano and produced by Manfred Eicher.

Marion Brown & Wadada Leo Smith: Live  with Manfred Eicher (1970)

[samuelabudiono]

Glad to catch live performance of Shai Maestro Quartet at La Renaissance Theatre + Musique in Lyon, France before the next day concert in Barcelona, Spain. The mastery of the maestro, an explosion of pleasure, play and shared happiness, listening to elegant and unique music. A lover of Bach and Oscar Peterson, the young pianist Shai Maestro is one of the figureheads of the new generation of prodigies who put their solid technique and great classical culture at the service of today's jazz. His name predestined him; He first shone in the renowned trio of his Israeli compatriot, bassist Avishaï Cohen, before forming his own trio ten years ago with bassist Jorge Roeder and drummer Ofri Nehemya. His first three albums contributed to his popularity. We find there each time a game imbued with a unique lyricism where the emotional eloquence is exceptional. Introspective, impressionistic and sometimes shrouded in a certain nostalgia, his very organic music takes its time by offering us long and elegant developments, the dynamics of which are driven by the incredible fluidity of his playing. Sensitive and always creative, Shai Maestro expands its formation in 2019 by inviting the American trumpeter Philip Dizack. Having become a quartet, the mastery of this new group shines under the paw of Manfred Eicher (ECM) who produces, in 2021, the dazzling album Human. Romantic and contemplative melodies, a bewitching minimalism with its repetitive figures, an exacerbated lyricism, rhythmic prowess, a heartbreaking breath and a breathtaking sound universe that take on their full dimension in concert! @SamuelABudiono #SamuelABudiono #Music #Architecture #MusicArchitecture @TheatreLaRenaissance #Jazz #Live #Concert #Lyon #France (at Théâtre la Renaissance) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cj7Uf9EoSmy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
