Tread on the Trail


Fabrizio Ottaviucci (piano and digital tape)

Riley's pieces are milestones of minimal music and the pianist, Fabrizio Ottaviucci, is bound by a long-time friendship with the composer, having played several times with Riley who has supervised (and corrected some features of) this recording.

“There's a jazzy feel to the basic riffs [in Tread on the Trail] while some of the metrical complexities that the layerings produce recall Nancarrow's player-piano pieces, especially as Ottaviucci uses multi-tracking to combine the sounds of several pianos. The result is fascinating, while his rhythmically strict performance of the studies gives them a compulsive intensity.” The Guardian, 29th August 2008

China Gates

Riley:

The Heaven Ladder, Book 7

The Walrus in Memorium


Gloria Cheng-Cochran (piano)

“The multifarious pulsings of Adams’s Phrygian Gates (all 26 minutes of it) are more palatable here than on some rival versions, and the relatively brief China Gates (just five minutes) are well worth visiting. Terry Riley’s pieces are more varied in colour and rhythm, less obviously ‘minimalist’, than you might have expected, with the worlds of jazz remaining well within earshot. Gloria Cheng-Cochran seems fully absorbed in the tasks to hand, and the sound is superb.” Gramophone

Jeroen van Veen (piano)

This unusual collection is dedicated to a very popular style: minimalist music. The style has evolved from austere, almost strict repetition to a more varied and free approach to material and technique. The set includes works for solo piano by most of the famous ‘minimalist’ composers covering three generations from Cage, through Riley and Glass to Adams and Nyman.

Tread on the Trail


Arte Quartett, Terry Riley

It is interesting to note that the most significant musical influences on Riley’s style—blues, jazz and Indian classical music—share relevant common features: modal structures and improvisatory practices intended as careful treatment of a set of more or less strict, codified rules. By emphasizing common ground, Riley reconciles different cultures within the same inventive fusing process.

Kerstens’ playing throughout this programme is superb, he seems totally comfortable with the contemporary style of composition and puts in a thoroughly convincing performance of music,which at times, can be intellectually diificult. For lovers of contemporary guitar music this is a feast. Steve Marsh – Classical Guitar Magazine
