Not entirely convincing, despite the good performances.......2003-12-17
Another Set To, the disc opener, is a brief concertino for trombone and orchestra, expanded from the brass piece Set To. Its nine minutes of vigorous dialogue between the soloist and the orchestra are lively and entertaining, and navigated with ease by the composer's preferred soloist, the inimitable Christian Lindberg.
More ambitious is the orchestra piece, Silent Cities, based on a melody by Turnage's regular collaborator, the jazz guitarist John Scofield. This work, dedicated to the memory of Michael Tippett, was inspired by a visit to the graveyards of the First World War (the 'Silent Cities' of the title). It alternates between mournful bluesy melodies and brusque orchestral violence, before concluding quietly. This recording is of the recent revised version, which clears up some of the problems with the original version, though I still find the orchestration sometimes becomes overly cluttered.
Four-Horned Fandango is another work that was revised for this recording, though in this case the revisions were much more drastic, as Turnage felt the original version to be a total failure. The work pits four solo horns against an orchestra of strings and percussion, and flows from a slow beginning to a dramatic climax, before the energy subsides in a slow, eerie conclusion. The fandango elements are kept mainly in the background, and the orchestral writing is of a more delicate, restrained nature than typical in Turnage, and I find this entirely to the work's benefit--this is probably the strongest piece on the disc.
Less impressive is Fractured Lines, a concerto for two percussionists and orchestra. Once again performed in a major revision, this work takes a tune by the jazz drummer Peter Erskine (the unpitched percussion soloist here; Evelyn Glennie takes the pitched percussion) and garlands it with variations. Two cadenzas, the first for Glennie, the second for Erskine, interrupt the work's vigorous progress, before it closes quietly. I found this work felt a little too routine to really grip me, though the closing bars are impressive.
This disc showcases Turnage's strengths and weaknesses in equal measure, but Four-Horned Fandango suggests a possible avenue for further development in his musical style. The performances are uniformly good, and a special word of praise must be given to the horn soloists in the Fandango.
