Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson
Some Recent Eloquence Releases: Summer 2017 by Brian Wilson The original European Universal Eloquence label replaced budget releases on DG (Privilege or Resonance), Decca (Weekend Classics) and Philips (Classical Favourites). Like them it originally sold for around £5 and offered some splendid bargains such as Telemann’s ‘Water Music’ and excerpts from Tafelmusik (Musica Antiqua Köln/Reinhard Goebel 4696642) and Mahler’s Das Lied von der Erde (Janet Baker, James King, Concertgebouw/Bernard Haitink 4681822). Later most of the original batch were deleted – luckily the Mahler remains available – and production switched to Universal Australia but the price remained around the same. More recently changes in the value of the £ mean that single CDs now sell for around £7.75 but the high quality of much of the repertoire means that they remain well worth keeping an eye on. Many, but not all, of the albums are available to stream or download and I have reviewed some in that form and others on CD. Be aware, however, that the downloads often cost more than the CDs and invariably come without notes – which is a shame because the Eloquence booklets are better than those of many budget labels.

Eleven artists from a broad range of genres – including klezmer, folk, electronica and jazz – were invited to add a solo part in response to the orchestra’s recording of the second movement of Autumn from Vivaldi’s Four Seasons. A sonnet, reputed to have been written by Vivaldi and placed by the publisher at the appropriate passage in the score, describes the movement as follows: All are made to leave off dancing and singing By the air which, now mild, gives pleasure And by the season, which invites many To find their pleasure in a sweet sleep Guest artists recorded their solo parts at home and were given free rein to start prior to the orchestra’s recording and continue after it had finished if they wished. -
Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132)
Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132) “Astonishing. I mean, I’ve had a drink but this sounds to me like a landmark ... Bellowhead are taking the music forward with a flair and urgency rarely heard in these parts and I, for one, can’t wait for them to make a proper album.“ COLIN IRWIN – fRoots Magazine And - here it is. ‘Burlesque’ out via Westpark Music. Not so much a Big Band as a small independent country, Bellowhead is an 11 piece busy pushing the boundaries of English roots music into regions where few have previously dared to tread. Bellowhead’s debut gig took place at the first Oxford festival in April 2004, brought together by the acclaimed folk duo John Spiers & Jon Boden. They dreamt up the band while stuck in traffic somewhere on the M25. John & Jon phoned Paul Sartin, Benji Kirkpatrick and Giles Lewin who all agreed to form the core of the new band while the duo were still on said motorway. The idea was to have an English traditional folk band at the heart of the collective, also capable of switching between a big band sound, funk styles, and a string section. The first gig was an instant success de- spite the fact that Bellowhead had only managed to spend one afternoon, in a scout hut, rehearsing. Later that same summer, Bellowhead managed to inspire such enthusiasm, on a balmy night at Sidmouth Festival, that an invigorated crowd broke the dance floor. Interest in the band developed beyond the immediate fringes of the folk scene immediately after the independ- ent release of the ‘E.P.Onymous’, a 5 track demo which was initially produced to send to promoters and sell a few at gigs. -
Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132)
Bellowhead „Burlesque“ (Westpark Music 87132) „Erstaunlich! Ich meine, ich hatte einen Drink, aber die Musik klang für mich wie ein Meilenstein … Bellowhead treibt die Musik kräftig voran mit einem feinen Gespür und einer Spannung, die in diesen Teilen der Welt nur selten zu hören sind. Und ich persönlich kann es kaum erwarten, bis die Band ein dementsprechend starkes Album macht.“ COLIN IRWIN, fRoots Magazine Und – hier ist es! „Burlesque“ heißt es und erscheint bei Westpark Music. Die elfköpfige Band Bellowhead klingt weniger nach einer Big Band, sondern viel mehr nach einem kleinen unabhängigen Land, das die Grenzen der englischen Folk-Musik überschreitet und sich mit musikalischen Regionen vereint, an die sich noch kaum ein Brite herangetraut hat. Bellowheads Ursprünge gehen zurück auf den April 2004 zum ersten Oxford-Festival, das von dem bekannten Folk-Duo John Spiers & Jon Boden auf die Beine gestellt wurde. Sie „träumten“ von der Band und stellten sie schon zusammen als sie im Stau irgendwo auf der Autobahn M25 standen. John & Jon telefonierten mit Paul Sartin, Benji Kirkpatrick und Giles Lewin, die alle bereit waren, das Fundament dieser Band zu bilden, während das Duo immer noch auf der erwähnten Autobahn stand. Die Idee war eine, traditionelle englische Folkband zu gründen, die in der Lage war, ohne Pausen zwischen Big Band Sound, Funk und Streicher-Sektionen hin und her zu schalten. Ihr erster Auftritt war ein riesiger Erfolg, wenn man bedenkt, dass Bellowhead nur einen Nachmittag in einer Pfadfinderhütte zum Proben hatte. Später in diesem Sommer schaffte es Bellowhead während einer milden Nacht auf dem Sidmouth Festival einen derartigen Enthusiasmus zu erzeugen, dass eine vollkommen hemmungslose Horde von Menschen die Tanzfläche stürmte. -

Thomas Baeté (°1978) Trained As a Choirboy and Violin Player in His Hometown Oostende, Belgium
Thomas Baeté (°1978) trained as a choirboy and violin player in his hometown Oostende, Belgium. After seeing the movie Tous les Matins du Monde (at age 16), he took up the viola da gamba as an autodidact, before studying it in Brussels and Barcelona with Wieland Kuijken, Jordi Savall and Sophie Watillon. He took masterclasses with Paolo Pandolfo. As a viola da gamba and medieval fiddle player, Thomas performed with ensembles such as Mala Punica (Pedro Memelsdorff), Capilla Flamenca (Dirk Snellings), La Roza Enflorese, The Toronto Consort and Graindelavoix (Björn Schmelzer). Thomas is a member of trio Osuna, with whom he explores mediterranean and central-asian traditional repertoire. With his colleagues of the viol groups The Spirit of Gambo and Hathor Consort, he shares a passion for seventeenth century viol consort music. Over the past fifteen years, he has recorded about thirty CDs with these groups and his performance activities have taken him from Stockholm to Napoli, and further on to the USA and Canada, Peru, Colombia and Morocco. Thomas appeared in dance productions of ROSAS (Anne Teresa De Keersmaeker) and Les ballets C de la B (Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui). In 2010, Thomas Baeté founded his own group ClubMediéval, an international ensemble of young specialists in late-medieval polyphony. Their first CD presenting previously unrecorded music by the 14th Century abbot Paolo da Firenze, received high acclaim in the press. Transports Publics is the name of his ensemble for baroque music and The Shuffle Season is a Canadian-British-Belgian trio dedicated to irreverent mixing of vintage songs of times present and past. -

Europa: La Tradizione Guarda Al Futuro
martedì 5, mercoledì 6, giovedì 7 settembre 2006 ore 21.30 Borgo Medievale Cortile del Melograno Europa: la tradizione guarda al futuro In collaborazione con martedì 5 settembre 2006 ore 21.30 Bellowhead Jon Boden, voce, violino, tamburino John Spiers, organetto, concertina, bandonéon Benji Kirkpatrick, chitarra, bouzouki Giles Lewin, violino, cornamusa Paul Sartin, violino, oboe Pete Flood, percussioni Rachael McShane, violoncello, violino Justin Thurgur, trombone Andy Mellon, trombone Gideon Juckes, sousaphone, tuba Brendan Kelly, sax, tuba Le sonorità dei Bellowhead si ispirano alle musiche delle danze e dei canti tradizionali britannici. Il gruppo folk inglese, composto da undici elementi, è ai suoi esordi discografici, ma in due anni di concerti dal vivo ha già raccolto un grande favore di pubblico e critica, come dimostra il BBC Radio 2 Folk Award per il miglior gruppo dal vivo ricevuto nel 2005, a poco meno di un anno dalla nascita della band. E.P. Onymous è l’unica incisione del gruppo. Si tratta di un demo di 5 tracce (Rambling Sailor, Jack Robinson, Copshawholme Fair, The Rochdale Coconut Dance e Prickle- Eye) la cui successiva pubblicazione in cd ha ottenuto il quinto posto nella classifica del programma di Mike Harding dei dischi più venduti dell’anno. Grazie a questa prima registrazione i Bellowhead si sono affermati sulla scena nazionale inglese. Tra la primavera e l’estate del 2005 la band si è esibita con grande successo in molti festival: a Cambridge, al Summer Sun- dae Weekender con Patti Smith e di fronte al pubblico inter- nazionale dei festival di world music di Musicport e Womex. -

The Flemish Community counts more than 6 million inhabitants and is run by a government of its own with a number of specific competences, such as culture, education, media… Brussels, capital of Belgium and of Flanders as well, is home to the European Commission and many international cultural institutions. 5 PREFACE Smaller than a postage stamp! That’s how minute Flanders looks on a map of the world, if you can discover it at all. However, a felicitous turn of his- tory has made this region into an exciting crossroads of different cultures. This is why Flanders is so rich in creative talent and abundant with cultural activities. -

Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water
Catalogue 2009/10 ECM Paul Griffiths Bread and Water Here is someone standing at the entrance to the gallery who goes on talking all the time while almost all the visitors who come are rushing by in their eagerness to inspect what is on show inside. The hall a little way beyond is packed with rare and wonderful things, beautifully laid out and informatively labelled. There is much to see, much to learn. This is what the visitors have come for. Why, then, linger at the doorway? Why wait? But you, you have stopped. Thank you. Yes, this is the gallery, this the exhibition: a catalogue. We can use the word either to mean this paper object you hold in your hands or the totality of items a publisher or, as in this case, record company has available for sale: the CATALOGUE, as we may put it. Such a CATALOGUE is changeable as the ocean is: things will go (though rarely, where ECM is concerned), more will come. The catalogue, on the other hand, is fixed, a photograph of the ocean. There was a moment, probably before it reached print, when the catalogue was identical with the CATALOGUE. But that moment has passed and will not come again, for the ocean is growing and the photograph cannot. Is the catalogue therefore impoverished? No, no more than a photograph is. This is no snapshot, no fuzzy image trapped half_thoughtlessly on a mobile phone. Look at what you have in your hands: this is something well made, something composed. A professional photographer must have been invited to make a study of the ocean.
