Beth Gibbons, "Floating on a Moment"

From her upcoming LP, Lives Outgrown, due out May 17, a chamber-folk number with a trippy video that looks, in part, like generative AI gone mad. This'll be Gibbons' first release since her Out of Season LP with Rustin Man 21 years ago, and she sounds to be in great voice.

In the process of reading up on her, I did learn that she got what I have to assume was considerably out of her comfort zone when she recorded, in 2019, Górecki's 3rd Symphony, "Symphony of Sorrowful Songs," with the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra in Polish.

A great and distinctive voice that I'll be glad to hear again.

Beth Gibbons — Lives Outgrown (Domino)

Photo by Netti Habel

The solo debut by Portishead’s Beth Gibbons has been a long time coming. Though Gibbons has collaborated with Rustin Man (Talk Talk’s Paul Webb) on 2002’s Out Of Season, and also sang on a 2019 recording of Gorecki’s Symphony No. 3 by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra, this is the first time she’s received prominent billing since the release of Portishead’s magnificent Third way back in 2008. Lives Outgrown has reportedly been in development for the last ten years, and you can hear this slow gestation in the detailed arrangements and measured execution of these ten songs. The music possesses an undeniable gravitas and deep melancholy, lifted to another level by Gibbons’ piercingly emotive voice.

Though there’s no question that this is a wrenching record, Gibbons and co-producer James Ford have rendered a three-dimensional listening experience that is as immersive as it is forbidding. Take early standout, “Burden of Life.” The deep, booming tom-toms are bleakly atmospheric, like someone beating their fists against the wall of a metal crypt, the dissonant strings ratcheting up the tension as Gibbons sings, “The burden of life / just won’t leave us alone.” Pretty depressing, sure, but it could be argued that it speaks to the persistent responsibility of living a life well rather than resigning oneself to the inevitability of mortality. Single “Floating On A Moment” is similarly powerful, decorated with the shimmer of hammered dulcimer and an eerie choir of children’s voices. Elsewhere, “Lost Changes” has the patient desolation of late 1970s Pink Floyd, and second single “Reaching Out” is punctuated by spy-movie horn stabs.

The unrelenting darkness leads to redemption at the album’s conclusion, as “Whispering Love” introduces a dulcet flute melody atop a simple, strummed acoustic, reminiscent of Bryter Layter by Nick Drake. In the distance, a plaintive violin motif cries out persistently, like a whistle from a lonely walker, or the whine of a dog — a reassuring nod to the everyday to counterbalance the existential gloom.

Hi!! Do u have any recs for someone who knows practically nothing abt classical music? I've been studying music theory and I feel it's a good genre to learn from :)

sure thing! however, i just want to talk about two things beforehand.

first, classical music differs from other genres of music in that the recording matters. this is because different performers have different interpretations of the music, among other reasons. for this purpose, i have provided my recommendations for recordings with the pieces ill be listing, however i strongly encourage you to find what you like the most.

the second thing i want to talk about is basically me getting into semantics. there are a few different eras of classical music, and they are all stylistically different. the main eras are the baroque era (~1600-1750), the classical era (~1750-1830), the romantic era (~1830-1920), and post-romantic/contemporary classical (~1920-present). i just want to point this out because the stylistic contrast between these eras is quite pronounced, and will help explain some things.

and with my ramblings out of the way, here are my recs!

Baroque:

Antonio Vivaldi - La Folia (Op. 1 No. 12) (Il Giardino Armonico [ensemble])

Johann Sebastian Bach - The Art Of Fugue (BWV 1080) (Joanna MacGregor [pfte.])

Classical

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Symphony No. 3 "Eroica" (Op. 55) (Herbert von Karajan [cond.] w/ Berlin Philharmonic Orchestra)

Ludwig Van Beethoven - Die Große Fuge (Op. 133) (Takács Quartet [str.qt.]) *

Romantic

Ferrucio Busoni - Piano Concerto in C Major (Op. 39) (Marc-André Hamelin [pfte.], Osmo Vänskä [cond.] w/ Lahti Symphony Orchestra) * ***

Franz Liszt - Totentanz (S. 126i) (Steven Mayer [pfte.], Tamás Vásáry [cond.] w/ London Symphony Orchestra)

Moritz Moszkowski - Piano Concerto in E Major (Op. 59) (Markus Pawlik [pfte.], Antoni Wit [cond.] w/ Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra)

Post-Romantic/Contemporary Classical

Igor Stravinsky - The Rite of Spring (Leonard Bernstein [cond.] w/ New York Philharmonic Orchestra) * **

Dmitri Shostakovich - Symphony No. 5 (Op. 47) (Yevgeny Mravinsky [cond.] w/ Leningrad Philharmonic Orchestra) **

Dmitri Shostakovich - String Quartet No. 9 (Op. 117) (Fitzwilliam Quartet [str.qt.]

Alfred Schnittke - Concerto Grosso No. 1 (Gidon Kremer [vln.], Tatiana Grindenko [vln.], Heinrich Schiff [cond.] w/ Chamber Orchestra of Europe) *

Alberto Ginastera - Piano Sonata No. 1 (Terence Judd [pfte.]) *

Maurice Ravel - Introduction and Allegro, for Harp, Flute, Clarinet, and String Quartet (Skaila Kanga [hrp.], Academy of St. Martin in the fields)

* - this piece is fuckin SPICY. you have been warned.

** - if you're interesting in music history you should look up the backgrounds surrounding these ones

*** - the recording quality is shit

so yeah. i prefer more modern music so i put quite a few more modern works on the list than most people would.

anyways, happy listening!

Watch "Zemlinsky: Sinfonietta ∙ hr-Sinfonieorchester ∙ Andrés Orozco-Estrada" on YouTube

Going to the Berlin Philharmonie tonight to hear this (among others) performed by the Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra. I'm not familiar with Zemlinsky or the Polish NRSO, but am very much looking forward to the Philharmonie.

Y'all have a lovely Sunday! 😊

Sunday Pipes #142

Organist Jonathan Scott plays his solo organ arrangement of Hungarian Rhapsody No. 2 by Franz Liszt on the new Škrabl pipe organ of the NOSPR CONCERT HALL (Polish National Radio Symphony Orchestra), Katowice, Poland.

[crimeandadeerstalker]

The flat is filled with scattered boxes, opened, and items haphazardly spread about the rooms. Sherlock stands in the middle of the room, a violin perched under his chin, bow posed just above the strings. When they meet the strings, they draw sweet notes, producing a sorrowful melody filled with a sense of terrible loneliness and longing. Then there's excitement, the possibility of a change in the air. A sense of hope. A sort of reaching out for another. Suddenly, there's a soft repose, like a calling out as if there is a meeting of two souls, before once again we're thrust into turmoil. It's like a dance between the new and a fear of it. The song culminates in the thrill of an introduction despite the possibility of being hurt.
