CD Reviews

Percussion + strings!
Pink Noodle | Duncanville, TX USA | 07/19/2007
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Pierre Favre, percussion; Lucas Niggli, percussion; Roberto Ottaviano, sax; Michel Godard, tuba, serpent; Philipp Schaufelberger, guitar; Karel Boeschoten, violin; Marius Ungureanu, viola; Pierre-Francois Massy, bass. For this release, the `poet of the drums' has expanded his quartet to an octet with a guitar, viola, violin and bass. Favre unfolds his compositions into tonal spaces, rich in contrast, using his percussion arsenal and a fragile string trio. Several of the themes give off a breath of melancholy while others are dance-like where rhythm follows melody in complex lines.
