Of his new release pianist Gustavo Díaz Jerez writes: “The Metaludios are relatively short works grouped in books of six pieces. In this release I present the first three, totaling eighteen pieces. This project started in 2013 but does not end here; the fourth book is almost finished and a fifth is on its way. The word Metaludio is derived from the prefix meta-, “beyond” and the suffix -ludio, from the Latin ludere, “to play”, “to exercise”. When coining this word, I tried to encompass these pieces beyond the usual preludes, interludes, etc. I have tried to give each Metaludio its own character, with distinguishing features that define its identity and differentiate it from the next. The titles give them away, sometimes because of the underlying scientific process, sometimes because of a mythological story behind, a tribute to a specific artist, or simply because of a sound resource that develops and grows in complexity.”

Gustavo Díaz-jerez – Metaludios Ii (2021)

Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © IBS Classical
These two new books of metaludios, which continue the three already recorded on a CD released in 2018, explore new sound territories through the piano. Science is once again the main pillar underlying the compositional process of these twelve new pieces. Multiple scientific disciplines serve as generators of musical raw material: biology (L-system, Mice music), psychoacoustics (Eigengrau), astronomy (Bo”otes void, Cassini’s dream), artificial intelligence and machine learning (Hidden states), as well as pure mathematics (Belphegor’s prime). As in the previous three books, Gustavo D’iaz-Jerez have also found inspiration in mythological figures (Melussyne, Stribog), and have paid tribute to artists I admire (Omaggio a Carlo Gesualdo, La spiral del viento, Pavana triste). Many of the metaludios use electronics and inside-the-piano extended techniques, not as mere effects but as a necessary and integrating part of the musical discourse. It is important to Gustavo, as performer as well as composer, that the pianistic writing is as comfortable and ergonomic as possible, but without distorting the original idea or sacrificing brilliant and virtuosic writing. Since the composition of the first metaludios, back in 2013, D’iaz-Jerez demonstrates that the sound possibilities of the piano have only one limit: our own imagination.

A Partita for Chamber Orchestra with borrowings from Bach and Schütz, a symphony for String Orchestra and timpani full of sharp rhythms and a Chaconne for violin and piano of a peculiarly romantic-dark colouring: these three fundamentally different works from the first half of the 20th century stand for the spectrum of expression and the compositional handwriting of their creator.

Gustaf Rosenberg is a pianist residing in Malmö. He can be heard in such groups as Malmö Jazz Orchestra, lead by internationally acclaimed trumpeter Anders Bergcrantz, the chamber music ensemble Tegla Kvartett and electronic drum- and synth duo Josgrejen. With a melodic and energetic approach he brings playfulness and sensitivity to every constellation he finds himself in. AMALA is the first jazz quartet where he is the leader and also the group that shows the most of his own musical identity. It’s an interaction between lyrical melodies and roughness, all the time rotating around a sharp presence. This is the first release where Gustaf Rosenberg is both bandleader and composer for all tracks.

For this recording, the current members of the very same ensemble are led by their newly appointed General Music Director, François-Xavier Roth.

The premiere of Mahler’s Third Symphony took place in June 1902 in Krefeld (not far from Düsseldorf), but it was indeed the Gürzenich Orchestra of Cologne which gave that first performance… greeted with acclaim – this was not always the composer’s experience with his masterpieces. Originally conceived as a hymn to Nature, in which the inert chaos of the opening movement is gradually left behind, the work calls for enormous forces (large orchestra, women’s choir, boys’ choir, and contralto soloist) and at each hearing leaves an unforgettable impression on the audience. Such was the case in October 2018, when François-Xavier Roth led the esteemed successors of the work’s first interpreters in this latest Mahler adventure.

Hans Rott was a composer from Gustav Mahler’s environment who had been unknown or known only by name even to most pundits. Many people have expressed the opinion, perhaps justifiably, that only his tragic fate prevented him from going down in the annals of music as Mahler’s equal and establishing a permanent position in the repertoire. A member of Bruckner’s circle within the music scene in Vienna, he developed a pronounced antipathy towards Johannes Brahms. In view of many of his works, it is difficult to comprehend that during Rott’s lifetime presumably not one of them was performed in public, but that only presentations took place under the aegis of internal conservatory events. With these recordings Capriccio attend to fill the gap with his (some of them reconstructed) orchestral works and document these fascinating world of music for the eternity.

Sum of Erda is the debut studio album by Norwich-based Progressives Guranfoe. After years of writing, the band spent weeks in a Cold War bunker in the countryside recording and mixing the record.
Accompanied by friends playing clarinet, violin, vibraphone, flute and recorder, the resulting album is the culmination of many years spent honing the Guranfoe studio sound into something distinct and unique.
‘In a space between rock form and jazz freedom, evoking the pastoral psychedelia of Anthem of the Sun-era Grateful Dead, while simultaneously conjuring the tricky time signatures of Gentle Giant.’

They had loved that their first opus Traveling Soul, its crispy blues-rock, sometimes transferring even sometimes to the stoner, to the soul heart and blues, definite and luminous voices which are not without reminding of those of Crosby Stills and Nash (and words are weighed!) . For this EP, the Parisians change range and offer an unique musical happening. Encircled with a group of guests, they develop a masterclass rock-soul of very high flight. Flawless production, far from the sound frenchy cheapos who often fill hexagonal productions, Gunwood here makes speak the powder, the one who blows up borders. With a directory dug over predominantly into their first album, the group here sublimates these titles in the songwriting ultra-controlled with these famous guest-stars: so from implacable “More” with Well the uncle Soul, “Rude Thing” with the powerful guitar of Yarol Poupaud and taking it “Rainchild” with Hugh Coltman. Necessary EP for every amateur of rock!

Günter Baby Sommer is at the height of his musical career. After Song for Kommeno and his Solo masterpiece Dedications he presents at his 75th birthday a duo recording with German trumpet player Till Brönner. The listeners will notice quite quickly how relaxed Till Brönner and Baby Sommer correspond throughout the chosen musical material. We experience the meeting of two musicians who have found a common language despite their personal distinctness; who do not need to prove anything to anybody. That is why their very first ever recording is fed by a basic calmness. Had Babys Party not been chosen to become this albums title, the last piece the Dukes In a Sentimental Mood would have made an equally well fitting title. Not in the sense of a yearning retrospection but according to the two musicians natural disposition in the sense of an invincible preview of what is ahead of them.
