Ensemble, Les Couscous Bénévoles - or the "Benevolent Cuckoos" - takes its name from a harpsichord piece by François Couperin. Comprised of some of Canada's most respected players in the field of early music, the Toronto-based ensemble is committed to performing both the great favourites and lesser known works of the Baroque and early Classical eras.Eve Egoyan, specializing in the works of living composers, releases her first CD the things in between. The selections, all world premiere recordings, range from minimalist to experimental, from the lushly complex and abstract to compositions which recall a more standard classical repertoire.Array Live brings together five internationally recognized composers in a CD recorded live at the Gelnn Gould Hall in Toronto.Toronto’s Evergreen Club has the distinction of being Canada’s first group playing music on an Indonesian gamelan (orchestra).Memory Forms is a succession of orchestral images – chords, fragments of melody, odd scales, occasional solo lines – which appear, recede and reappear in continuously changing forms. Just as memory gives shape to life, so it forms, and informs, the experience of music.Arraymusic’s mission is to ignite and sustain a passion for contemporary Canadian musical art within an international, interdisciplinary context.Stringtime is more than another technically skilled CD - it's sonically lovely, the performances are energetic and accomplished, and the compositions are beautifully balanced in time and style.Euphonia is the first CD in the accordion discography devoted to the compositions of women composers.
