Label: Unseen Worlds - UW031

これは名作、大推薦！！フランスの重鎮作曲家エリアン・ラディーグの長年のコラボレーターであり、当店では過去にラディーグ及びオリヴェロスの楽曲を演奏したヴァイオリン&ボイスのソロアルバム[Virgin Violin]を紹介した女性即興演奏家のSilvia Tarozzi。解説にある通りPenguin Cafe Orchestra路線の穏やかな室内楽、自身の甘美なボイスを幾重にも重ねた反復録音、驚くべきテクニックを見せつけるヴァイオリンを軸とした抽象的フリージャズまでと、何処を聞いても徹底した素晴らしい音楽性を見せつける傑作。CD版にはポスター型のインサートが付属。







Silvia Tarozzi, inspired by the poet Alda Merini and her studies with composer Garret List, worked with intimate personal history to write songs of love, motherhood, and the mystery hidden behind the curtain of everyday life. Over the course of nearly a decade, Tarozzi practiced setting the poetry of Alda Merini to music and then replacing it with her own to reflect her own life experiences. As a result, ‘Mi specchio e rifletto’ feels both poetic and earnestly autobiographical.
​​
​​A longtime collaborator of Eliane Radigue and a talented free improvisor, Tarozzi inspires as sensitive awareness while echoing progressive music forebearers. Past masterpieces reverberate throughout: the gentle chamber explorations of Penguin Cafe Orchestra, the science fiction of Franco Battiato’s 'Fetus', the abstract free jazz flourishes of Maria Monti’s 'Il Bestiario', the sweetness of Caterina Caselli’s 'Primavera'.
​​
​​As a solo performer, Tarozzi has collaborated with composers Eliane Radigue, Pascale Criton, Cassandra Miller and Martin Arnold. In duo with Deborah Walker, and as a member of Ensemble Dedalus, she has worked with Christian Wolff, Jürg Frey, Michael Pisaro, Catherine Lamb, Sébastien Roux, and many others. She previously released Philip Corner 'Extreemizms: early & late' on Unseen Worlds in 2018.
