The quartet, rounded out by the youthful Archie Shepp (playing only on “Air” and “Lazy Afternoon”) and bassist Buell Neidlinger, is already quite comfortable at pushing the boundaries of the period, giving an almost cursory reading of the themes before leaping into improvisation. The standard “This Nearly Was Mine” is explored gorgeously and with strong romanticism by Taylor, giving perhaps an indication of the source of the brief, blissful encores he would offer up to end his solo concerts in coming decades. “Port of Call” and “Eb” are both utter masterpieces showing Taylor already maintaining an unheard of mastery of the piano, musical ideas darting like sparks from his fingertips. What’s extra amazing is how deeply entrenched the blues feel and pulse are in this music, already bound for the further reaches of abstraction. They never left Taylor, although many listeners have difficulty discerning them. This session, which has been released under numerous guises, is an especially fine introduction to his work, keeping enough of a foot in “traditional” jazz forms to offer one purchase while dangling breathtaking visions of the possible within one’s reach. A classic recording that belongs in anyone’s collection.

Necessity being the mother of invention, the English conductor Ben Woodward has arranged the full-symphonic textures of some of Wagner’s operas for eighteen-part chamber orchestra to bring them within range of the forces available to Regents Opera in London – arrangements which should, indeed, put them with the reach of smaller companies everywhere. This new ‘room-sized Wagner’ enhances the sense of scale of the originals with a striking degree of clarity.

Carsten Wiebusch – Franck: Complete Organ Works (2022)
FLAC (tracks) 24 bit/48 kHz | Time – 04:20:57 minutes | 2,40 GB | Genre: Classical
Studio Masters, Official Digital Download | Front Cover | © CPO
An outstanding edition of César Franck’s complete organ works on the occasion of the 200th birthday. The perception of César Franck as an organ composer centers on his twelve large-scale works, which are considered among the most radiant contributions to organ literature. However, it should not be forgotten that with the collection L’Organiste he wrote 63 shorter, but compositionally very elaborate pieces, which due to their vignette-like, compact facture do not reach the complexity of his “large” organ works, but are nevertheless very remarkable: each one of the pieces has a signature all its own, and is in no way inferior to Franck’s extensive organ works in terms of harmonic complexity and focus of expression.
