Ictus, Georges-Elie Octors Jonathan Harvey (b.1939) is a leading British composer who is at the same time close to the French music world. Through his spiritual itinerary, which blends Tantric Buddhism and Roman Catholicism, he can be seen as an heir of Messiaen, with whom he shares a fiery, multicoloured luxuriance of expression, and like many French composers, he has played a role in the re-establishment of euphonious, sensual, expressive yet non-neoclassical harmony based on natural resonance. Ictus continues the project started on earlier CDs for Cypres (Terry Riley, CYP 5601; Helmut Oehring, CYP 5602): to make use, in art music, of all the creative resources of rock studios, under the supervision of the artists themselves. The result is a world in movement full of swirling sounds that takes the listener on a journey through different perspectives of sound: from a detail to the whole, from extreme precision to exhilarating vagueness. "An outstanding disc of a leading British composer that beats all competing versions" (Gramophone). | | | Usually despatched in 3 - 4 working days. |
