A peculiar album from the Empress of Modern Harpsichord, as she is nicknamed. Elisabeth Chojnacka presents us a mixture of world music and the fireworks of hard-boiled avant-garde sounds, the latter we have come to know her for - witness her legendary album Clavecin 2.000 .
Celebrated by music fans and composers (Xenakis, Ligeti) alike, she seems to have few, if any equals in the world of contemporary harpsichord.
My favourite track? Hard to say; perhaps the last one, Phrygian Tucket, which somehow makes me think of Albeniz' Asturia; and of that piece, most certainly its absolutely dazzling finale, as of ca. 77m30s.
