[…] at the peak of recognition these days – and rightfully so. Bruckner was born on September 4th of 1824. Jumping forward: Darius Milhaud. He was also born on September 4th, of 1892. A member of Les Six, he wrote in many different styles, from jazz to polytonality. As a Jew, he had to flee France during the occupation and spent several years in the US. Here’s Milhaud’s Quartet no. 15, op. 291 performed by the Quatuor Parisii. Moving on, or for the moment back, here’s Johann Christian Bach, the eighteenth (yes, eighteenth!) offspring of Johann Sebastian Bach; by the time he moved to England and became famous there (he would be called "the London Bach” or "the English Bach"), around 1766, only seven of his siblings were still alive. Johann Christian, born on September 5th of 1735, was the youngest of Johann Sebastian’s composer kids. He did much to further […]

Quatuor Parisii, Melaine Dalibert, Manuel Zurria etc (Another Timbre)A port in the storm, this. Giuliano d’Angiolini is a Paris-based Italian composer and ethnomusicologist who makes music of whispered, consolatory indeterminacy. He is probably best known (if he is known at all) for a 2011 album called Simmetrie di Ritorno, but I would argue that this new release is more sublime, or perhaps just more timely.
