Michel van der Aa, Composer
Amsterdam Sinfonietta Candida Thompson, Violin Michel van der Aa, Composer Sol Gabetta, Cello Vakil Eelman, Zeus |
Author: Richard_Whitehouse
In the securing of which cellist Sol Gabetta has the crucial role – moving as she does with enviable dexterity between platform and film-screen, though without any impairing of either her commitment or musicianship in what is a fluent and dynamic account of an imaginative score. Nor should the contribution of the Amsterdam Sinfonietta be underestimated, its playing as secure as might be expected from an ensemble which has several excellent releases (on Channel Classics) to its name. Both recording and presentation are fully on a par with earlier issues on Van der Aa’s own Disquiet label, of which Up-Close is undoubtedly the most impressive yet.
