In the multi-hued autumn twilight, the rich, coppery tones of the cello resonate naturally with the changing tones of the landscape. Perhaps no western instrument has the musical and emotional range and depth; from its foundational role in the orchestra and the string quartet, to its uncanny vocal emulations and contemplative solo flights — the cello seems to know no boundaries.
On this transmission of Hearts of Space, a cello-infused journey with piano, strings, and a touch of electric guitar, on a program called NOVEMBER TONES.
Music is by the esteemed cellist DAVID DARLING, with Norwegian ambient guitarist TERJE RYPDAL and pianist KETIL BJORNSTAD, MICHAEL GALASSO, JIM FOX, MICHAEL JOHN FINK, and TIGRAN MANSURIAN.
