Trio Fibonacci are an enterprising Canadian ensemble and ATMA Classique is an enterprising Canadian label. This CDÊ–Êrecorded in Montreal in April 2001 with the composer in attendanceÊ–Êwill appeal to anyone who has enjoyed other recent issues of Jonathan Harvey’s music‚ and although its contents overlap significantly with one of those issues‚ there are distinctive features too. Advaya‚ for cello and electronics and Tombeau de Messiaen‚ for piano and pre­recorded DAT are both included on the outstanding Cyprès disc made by the Belgian Ictus ensemble (10/01)‚ as well asÊ–ÊseparatelyÊ–Êon two other Harvey compilations from Adès and Sargasso. The Cyprès sound seems to me to have rather more presence‚ and a stronger feeling for that sense of space and luminosity so important to Harvey’s work. But the new Fibonacci versionsÊ–Êtechnically secure‚ and giving Advaya a compelling urgency and dramatic immediacyÊ–Êhave worthwhile qualities of their own. Above all‚ they gain illuminating perspective from being placed in the context of Harvey’s earlier music‚ whereas a particular strength of the Cyprès disc was its inclusion of two important recent pieces‚ Wheel of Emptiness and Death of Light/Light of Death. Dialogue and Song brings together two very different works from 1967 and 1977‚ the rather formulaic modernism of the former offset by the more characteristically questing intensity of the latter. The Piano Trio (1971) shows Harvey contending with a wealth of models as diverse as Messiaen and Milton Babbitt‚ Stockhausen and Peter Maxwell Davies‚ while Flight­Elegy (1989) is an uncompromising yet affectingly poetic study in opposed registers and timbres. Add to this the recent tribute to Pierre Boulez‚ Vers‚ and the richness of the mix is evident. Even Vers has been recorded before‚ on a South Bank Centre CD of a recital by Rolf Hind in the Queen Elizabeth Hall in March 2000‚ but that was never widely available. This well­recorded disc therefore deserves every success‚ and I hope that more of the Trio Fibonacci’s contemporary repertory will be made available in due course.
