To experience fully the music of Rudolf Komorous, one has only to listen attentively. The emotional language of the music is readily apparent and on the surface. And yet, the unpredictable juxtapositions of events, the turns of phrase, the surprising chords, and the unusual sounds delineate a landscape which encompasses a wide range of feelings and sensitivities.
5th Species is a woodwind quintet dedicated to performing adventurous repertoire by 20th century composers. The group is made up of Canadian and American musicians, and this is their debut recording.
Another excellent compilation of acoustic works by Arraymusic.
"Wu in Zen is ‘not’ the expected. The pleasure of Rudolf Komorous' Wu is the pleasure of the unexpected. Listening to a line of notes falling like water drops from a melting icicle, at irregular intervals, a note rising when you anticipate it will descend, a chord appearing in a line of single notes like a crow in a flight of sparrows. The pleasure of the unexpected." – WholeNote
Soulful, evocative music written beautifully for the rich and lyrical sonorities of the bassoon.
