This time last year I was deeply immersed in the music of Gloria Coates. preparing for the Dialogue we were planning to record in July.

Itās been far too long. Six years since Lee Fraserās last album, Cor Unvers, and a full decade since his debut, Dark Camber, both of which were among my very best albums of 2018 and 2014 respectively, and both of which continue to blow my mind anew every time iā¦ The post appeared first on 5:4. 5:4 is on Patreon!

As an accompaniment to my Dialogue with composer Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes, the following is an essay written for the Estonian journal Sirp, originally published in Estonian translation last year. When I first heard the music of Tatjana Kozlova-Johannes, its effect was almost too much to take. It was in 2017, duringā¦ The post appeared first on 5:4. 5:4 is on Patreon!

I want to flag up two recent albums for which iāve contributed liner notes, both of which focus on music from Norway, and both of which have coincidentally been released around the same time.

Symphony No. 16 (1979) Allan Petterssonās final completed work shares some similarities to Violin Concerto No. 2, inasmuch as it blurs the distinction between symphony and concerto. Pettersson went as far as to described the concerto as āa symphony for violin and orchestraā, and itās tempting to regard Symphony No.ā¦ The post appeared first on 5:4. 5:4 is on Patreon!

Somewhat incredibly, for a man crippled by rheumatoid arthritis and essentially confined to his apartment (four floors above ground level without an elevator), Allan Pettersson managed to begin and complete his next two symphonies within a single year. Symphony No. 14 (1978) Compared to No. 13, a very different characterā¦ The post appeared first on 5:4. 5:4 is on Patreon!

Symphony No. 13 (1976) In the first part of this Lent Series, i remarked on the sorry fact that most of the admittedly sparse commentary on Petterssonās music has invariably adopted the stance that it is all bleak, tragic and full of despair. Several of the preceding works iāve exploredā¦ The post appeared first on 5:4. 5:4 is on Patreon! Please consider supporting the blog by becoming a Patron from just $2 a month: ici
