About

Performed at Symphony Hall last April, by Birmingham Contemporary Music Group and Oliver Knussen, with the same soloists, Paul Griffiths was moved to say "a big and typically quizzical essay by Mauricio Kagel for singers and instrumentalists, exploring various notions of country music and countryside, all of them amusingly wrong."

“Among the major players in the European avant garde of the 1960s, Mauricio Kagel is still by a long way the least known and understood in the UK. Most of his major works remain unperformed here, but the series of discs put out by Winter & Winter over the last few years are at least filling some of the gaps in our knowledge.” The Guardian

27th February 2009

The 1975 work exists in two versions, one of which involves a staging of sorts in faux-naif images, the other a straightforward concert work. This recording, made in 1997 but never previously released, is the latter. It makes a neat enough musical package: the voices of Angela Tunstall, Susan Bickley and Alan Belk dovetail with the instrumental writing, and the local colour is provided by the tape. But the humour is thinly spread, and Kagel's invented folk music is only intermittently engaging. A useful addition to Winter and Winter's Kagel series, certainly, but not one of his major works.
