 For this album of music by Elliott Carter, on
GRAMMY award-nominated Norwegian label 2L, cellist Johannes Martens has
assembled some of Norway's foremost young musicians. Tracing Carter's
development through some of his most creative periods, these works -
from the beautiful 1946 Elegy and the celebrated Cello Sonata from 1948
through to newer pieces for solo instruments, duo, trio and string
quartet - constitute nearly a cross-section of musical evolution in the
20th century's second half.
Heard individually, the chamber
works of Elliott Carter give the listener tantalising snapshots of the
composer's style and technique; as a group, they represent a microcosm
of his musical personality. Any selection of several pieces by the same
composer will inevitably reveal similarities, traits, and
preoccupations. But here is also great variety and resourcefulness: in
one piece, an affectionate and playful tribute to a fellow musician; in
another, a sustained grappling with the very substance of musical time;
and in yet another, a dialogue or conversation between multifaceted
protagonists that bring an unmistakably social aspect into musical
discourse. And all the while, the music flows through a plethora of
moods and characters, at one moment playful, the next impassioned, now
agitated, now wistful. It is this dynamism that most distinguishes
Carter's music from that of his peers; its restlessness and its ability
to turn on a hair from the most skittish characterisations to the most
poignantly human outpourings, but always flowing and always carrying
the listener along on the tide of its composer's invention and
ingenuity.
