Vinko Globokar - Globokar: Eisenberg Airs de Voyages Vers [CD]

"Eisenberg" for 16 musicians, composed by Globokar in 1990, is performed here by the University of Illinois New Music Ensemble. Much of Globokar's music is left to the performers - pitches, rhythms texts to be sung, chanted, etc. - but the composer prescribes a suitable framework so that each piece progresses along the lines he intended. The big orchestral piece "Labour" (ploughing) suggests "the unfolding of a vast chaos within which recognizable objects or landscapes can be glimpsed as though illuminated by lightning flashes." "Airs de voyages vers l'int+-rieur" features Globokar on trombone and Michel Portal on clarinet; the vocal ensemble consists of Nada Zgur, Darija Hreljanovic (soprano); Sabira Hajdarovic, Marina Strenar (alto); Mleden Katanic, Josip Dern (tenor); Tomaz Faganel, Joze Furst (bass).
