Synopsis

Product Description

OPERE DELLA MUSICA POVERA (Works of a Poor Music) The Opere della Musica Povera pieces were written between 1990 and 1999. Despite the range of instrumentation, all the compositions have similar formal plans and structural strategies. Each "Opera" is in a different "key" and has a title that evokes a sense of poverty: poverty of means, of spirit, of wit.

CD Reviews

Truly amazing contemporary music

Marcus Collin | NY | 10/29/2003

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Having seen Mr. Bresnick speak about his music before I heard it, I admit I have sort of an "in" about the pieces I heard before I heard them. Having said that, I still believe that even if I hadn't had my curiosity peaked I still would feel the way I do about this music. For myself, I think it's brilliant and inspired. In particular the pieces "Be Just", "The Bucket Rider" and "Bird as Prophet"."
