Editorial Reviews
Album Description
This CD presents premiere recordings of four works by the gifted American composer, David Liptak. Liptak's music builds large detailed structures from small and simple means. Frequently, a simple rhythmic gesture will generate an entire movement or a melodic figure will often transform itself, becoming a flower from a seed. Broken Cries was composed for the Tarab Cello Ensemble, which performs it here. The composer writes that "I imagined a kind of of music that was filled with hesitation. Pauses and silences break the flow of sounds, as a voiced cry is sometimes broken by a breath, or perhaps, a sudden thought." Liptak's stunning Ancient Songs takes most of its texts from ancient oral traditions of various cultures- the Passamaquoddy Indian tribe from Maine, the Papago Indian tribe from the southwest, the African Gabon pygmy culture, and a Scottish nursery rhyme. At the end of the cycle, a poem by the American poet James Wright provides a remarkable apotheosis.! The songs are sung with intensity by the work's dedicatee, the wonderful American baritone, William Sharp. The composition of Liptak's hauntingly beautiful Serenade was begun at the composer's summer home in Denmark, and Liptak writes that it "represents the warmth and ease of a Danish summer evening." The five extremely varied movements of this serenade run from simple and meditative to dance-like and highly energetic. The closing work is certainly this disc's simplest and most direct- a short Forlane for solo guitar. Guitarist David Starobin is the performer of this hypnotic little gem.

Album Description
David Starobin's award-winning "New Music with Guitar" series continues with the release of Volume Six. This CD includes solo and chamber works written between 1992 and 2000, performed by Grammy-nominated guitar virtuoso David Starobin, backed by Pulitzer prize-winning composer/percussionist George Crumb and Speculum Musicae. The disc features guitar solos by Gunther Schuller, Michael Starobin, Richard Wernick, Melinda Wagner, David Liptak, and Paul Lansky--all in premiere recordings. Volume Six also contains George Crumb's "Mundus Canis"--with the composer performing (and whispering and yelling) on percussion. Starobin and Crumb have toured throughout the USA and Europe with this series of "dog portraits" delighting audiences and critics with these five humoresques. To conclude the disc, Elliott Carter's fantastically inventive sextet, "Luimen" is performed by Speculum Musicae, New York City's virtuoso new music band. London's "Classical Guitar" magazine says of David Starobin: "First and foremost there is the incredible David Starobin. His contribution has been invaluable, without price, impossible to estimate. If there were an award for the player most likely to further the cause of the guitar in the musical mainstream, we would be inclined to nominate David Starobin"Customer Reviews:
