![]() In Black Angels, Izquierdo, the Cuarteto LatinAmericano, and members of the Carnegie Mellon Philharmonic perform a composer-authorized arrangement of Crumb's searingly horrific and radiantly beautiful masterpiece. In Makrokosmos III, Izquierdo and seven players, including the amazing Andrés Cladera performing on slide whistle, recorder, whistle, and voices, create a verdant nocturnal musical landscape à la Bartók. Recorded here under the direction of Juan Pablo Izquierdo, Crumb's music is as wild, crazy, wonderful, evocative, deep, and high as the best psychedelia of the period by Pink Floyd or the Grateful Dead. Written in 19, Crumb's Black Angels: Thirteen Images from the Dark Land for electric string quartet and Makrokosmos III: Music for a Summer Evening for 2 amplified pianos and percussion are the classical music equivalent of psychedelic rock. Well, treat may not be exactly the right word perhaps "an experience" would be a better way to put it. If you've never heard the music of George Crumb before, you are in for a treat. ![]()
