Description:

Der New Yorker Geigenvirtuose Mark Feldman legt nach 26 Jahren seine zweite Solo-CD vor. Â»Sounding PointÂ« enthÃ¤lt sechs eigene Kompositionen sowie ein StÃ¼ck von Sylvie Courvoisier, seiner Ehefrau, und eines von Ornette Coleman. Der amerikanische Jazzkritiker Kevin Whitehead schreibt zu der 2020 in Brooklyn entstandenen Aufnahme: Â»In den mehr als 30 Jahren, die ich den Geiger Mark Feldman verfolge, gibt es keine mir bekannte Platte, die ihn besser darstellt als â?ºSounding Pointâ?¹. Er hat groÃ?artige Musik in verschiedenen Formationen gemacht, aber das Solospiel gibt ihm ein Maximum an Freiheit und bringt den Reichtum seines Klangs, seine ausgeprÃ¤gte persÃ¶nliche Stimme und seine SensibilitÃ¤t fÃ¼r Textur und Tempo voll zur Geltung â?? alles im Dienst des musikalischen GeschichtenerzÃ¤hlens â?¦ Sein Spiel klingt so natÃ¼rlich wie der Atem.Â« - WORKS BY ORNETTE COLEMAN A.O.

The New York violin virtuoso Mark Feldman presents a new solo album, a portrait of the artist now, some twenty-six years after his first solo album. Sounding Point contains six of his own compositions as well as one piece each by Sylvie Courvoisier and Ornette Coleman. Coleman's 1987 Peace Warriors is one of three pieces in which Feldman skillfully employs overdubs. The American jazz critic Kevin Whitehead writes in the liner notes: "In my 30+ years following violinist Mark Feldman, no record I know shows him off better than Sounding Point. He's made much great music in groups, but solo play gives him maximum elbow room, fully exposing the richness of his sound, his distinct personal voice, and his sensitivity to sonic texture and pacing, all at the service of musical storytelling. Take for example the shortest piece here, the improvised "Rebound." He starts with a simple gesture, the bow's horsehairs bouncing lightly on the strings, a gesture he periodically returns to (and ends with), between scenic flights: high notes and trills, bracing close-interval wailing on adjacent strings, a burst of percussive pizzicato, falling glissandi, whispered notes barely bowed... Fancy stuff. Yet those expansions and contractions, and the contrasting dynamics, sound natural as breathing."
