While the title or the front cover of this CD may not catch your attention right away don't miss it by any means - it is a mega lovely disc full of beautiful melodies, inventive harmonies and meserizing rythms that pull you in. The music is tonal, free-flowing and easy on your ears, but catchy and pungent at the same time. Tuneful works by Matthieu Lussier (b. 1973) (such as IMPRESSIONS DE L’ALAMEDA and ODD BIRD CONCERTO) are influenced by Baroque era, yet the harmonic language is quite contemporary while Michael Ochhipinti's (b. 1967) compositions are reflecting his Jazz leanings, particularly SICILIAN PROVERBS for trumpet, bassoon and string orchestra which brings to mind symphonic Jazz/big band sound. Colourful soloists Jackson and Few are shining throughout!
Piterets
Soaring melodies, twittering motives, brooding themes, fluttering fast notes – just a few of the avian attributes that will take flight in group of 27’s The Odd (But Lovely) Bird concerto by Canadian composer Mathieu Lussier...
groupof27.com
The Odd Bird Concerto, Op. 37 is scored for bassoon, string orchestra, and percussion (bass drum, tubular bells, and Tibetan cymbals). Although the composer long wanted to write a bassoon concerto, many other projects intervened. Nadina Mackie Jackson has been such a crucial figure in his life and career that he felt, in 2012, that the time had come to offer her the concerto he had always wanted to write. The nickname “Odd Bird” for this concerto comes from knowing Nadina, her paintings, her early record label and, of course, her world-famous cerulean hair. In the composer's view, she definitely is a bird, though perhaps no more odd than any of us!
CD booklet
One of the world’s leading bassoonists, Nadina Mackie Jackson is not afraid to explore the boundaries of performance. From unaccompanied baroque to newly commissioned concerti, her performances often reach far beyond traditional concert settings for bassoon. Recording worldwide on both modern and historical bassoons, her performances are remembered for their “effortless musicality and integrity, making the bassoon sound like a human voice” (NATIONAL POST)..
"Few and Jackson play with polished tone, immaculate intonation and infectious high spirits; it’s obvious they’re having a blast” (All Music)
