Description

[Machine Translation] Gloria Coates, one of the leading figures in American contemporary music, has been experimenting with overtones and clusters since the age of 9. After graduating from Columbia University, she began her career as a composer. She is also a talented singer, actress, and painter, and her painting "Parallel Univers" adorns the cover of the album. The Piano Quintet is rooted in the poetry of Emily Dickinson, and uses the subtlety of the quartet to great effect to create a shimmering light. Symphony No. 10 was inspired by the "Ancient Celtic Ruins" discovered in Erding, Bavaria. The music describes a wind blowing from the beginning, and the shaking sound is exquisitely colored by percussion accents. Susan Allen, who conducted the symphony, is an accomplished harpist. This performance was her conducting debut, but unfortunately she became ill and passed away about a year after the performance. This album is also a memorial to her.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

グロリア・コーツ: ピアノ五重奏曲/交響曲 第10番 / クラシックオムニバス

アメリカ現代音楽界の重鎮の一人、グロリア・コーツ。9歳から倍音やクラスターを駆使して実験的な作品を作ってきたという彼女、アレクサンドル・チェレプニンとオットー・ルーニングの指導を受けて更なる研鑽を積み、コロンビア大学を卒業後は作曲家として本格的な活動を始めました。歌手、女優、画家としても才能を発揮し、アルバムのジャケットを飾る絵も彼女の作品「Parallel Univers」です。収録曲の「ピアノ五重奏曲」はエミリー・ディキンソンの詩に根差しており、四分音の微妙な響きを効果的に使いながら、煌めくような光が表現されています。交響曲第10番はバイエルン州のエルディングで発見された「ケルトの古代遺跡」をモティーフにした作品。高速道路建設のため、存続が危うくなった遺跡についての音楽は、冒頭から吹きすさぶ風が描写され、揺れ動く音を打楽器のアクセントが絶妙に彩ります。交響曲を指揮したスーザン・アレンは元々優れたハープ奏者。この演奏が指揮者デビューとなりましたが、残念なことに病を得て、演奏後1年ほどでこの世を去ってしまいました。このアルバムは彼女への追悼でもあります。
