Product description

Sir Karl Jenkins, the most performed living composer, is celebrating his 75th birthday with a brand-new album and a host of reissues from his immensely popular catalogue – all now available on Decca Records. The Armed Man: A Mass For Peace, written for the millennium, is one of Sir Karl’s most well-known compositions, which has been in the UK classical charts for 15 years. It has been performed over 2500 times since its premiere in 1999, which equates to more than 2 performances a week! It has also been in the UK classical artist chart for nearly 800 weeks. "In a rapturous performance, by turns visceral and ethereal, theÌýMassÌýwas a firebomb of orchestral and human voices.“ The Times

    5.0 out of 5 stars Dai Nucleus ai Soft Machine alla musica classica: Sir Karl Jenkins
    Reviewed in Italy on 17 October 2023
    Verified Purchase
    I Nucleus dei primi tre album ("Elastic Rock", "We'll Talk About It Later" e "Solar Plexus") e i Soft Machine (da "Six" a "Land of Cockayne") recano la decisa impronta di Karl Jenkins.
    Per alcuni è stato un bene, e in effetti i citati album dei Nucleus sono i migliori del gruppo; per altri, specie per chi identifica i Soft Machine con Mike Ratledge e Robert Wyatt, Jenkins è quasi un usurpatore, che ha snaturato la vena più sperimentale del gruppo a favore di composizioni molto strutturate e per nulla "dadaiste": partitura alla mano e righiamo dritti, please.
    Col senno di poi, i germogli della conversione c'erano tutti: già il primo CD a nome Adiemus, "Songs of Sanctuary" del 1995, in cui fa ancora la sua comparsa Mike Ratledge come "programmatore delle percussioni" (sigh), era a metà strada.
    Successivamente, il salto è stato fatto, e oggi Sir Karl Jenkins è un compositore laureato, visto anche all'incoronazione di Carlo III ( è quella specie di anziano Puffo coi capelli e baffi bianchi).
    D'accordo, ma la musica ? Fortunatamente, Sir Karl rifugge dai pateracchi: "The Armed Man" è una composizione classica in tutti i sensi, ed è il brano di un compositore vivente più eseguito in assoluto nel mondo, con oltre mille rappresentazioni.
    Chi scrive ha avuto modo di ascoltarlo dal vivo a Sacile, e l'impatto è stato notevole.
    Il solenne tema iniziale è ripreso quasi testualmente da "L'Homme Armé" del compositore quattrocentesco Guillaume Dufay: Jenkins lo arricchisce con un pieno orchestrale di note basse molto suggestivo.
    Da qui parte una Messa che per il dinamismo dell'incedere potrebbe ricordare la "Messe Sainte Cecile" di Charles Gounod, un po' Napoleone III se si vuole. L'enfasi drammatica visto il tema bellico non manca, ma altre influenze si fanno sentire, come nel bellissimo "Kyrie" di ascendenza haydniana, davvero grande pagina.
    Il tutto è comunque ben amalgamato, e si ascolta volentieri senza gridare alla scopiazzatura, che è cosa ben diversa dal trarre ispirazione dal passato.
    In una discoteca classica questa Messa fa la sua figura, e chissà, d'altro lato qualche nostalgico di "We'll Talk ..." o di "Softs", anche se qui - è bene insistere per evitare equivoci - siamo in tutt'altro campo, potrebbe incuriosirsi e provare ad ascoltarla, ne vale la pena.
