Markevitch deserves better performances.......2002-06-05

Unlike the previous reviewer who may be confusing mediocre performance for mediocre composition, I think it's fairly safe to say that the moderately alert, reasonably well-informed listener can ascribe a lot of what's going on here to rough-and-ready provincial performance standards.

In a way, it's rather insulting that music of this invention, excitement, and quality would 1) be neglected all these years, and 2) then get a roughshod, slipshod presentation such as this. The Arnheim band does what it can, but the legato is almost missing, the bass-line and chording whacked to the point of fear, the glissandi slurred into slop. The meticulous Markevitch would have had none of this, but this is partly his fault since he sat on his music and didn't perform it much after he got involved with Gui organizing the Stabile in Florence.

The amazing contrapuntal writing for brass in these works is so muddled here that it made me think of a flopping fish on a mudflat, breathless and desperate, so much so that I got tired finally listening around the claptrap to get the measure of the works.

Even for all these negatives, I'm tacking on a star simply because 1) we need this music, and 2) maybe this will get someone able to handle it off his duff to do right by it. I'd surely like Neemi Jarvi and the Detroit Symphony to take a gander at it, or Jean-Claude Casadesus in Lille, or Dutoit if he'd ever behave and really study a score. Of course we can dream about what all this would be like with Paul Paray, Roger Desormiere, Serge Baudo, or Ernest Ansermet-- perhaps in the next life.

Another thing this all brought home to me is what that debonair and persistent maestro Peter Eros has been putting up with for a long, long time.

Boring.......2002-05-03

The music on this disc hardly lives up to the exciting descriptions in the cd linear notes. Markevitch is interesting as a historical figure and as a great conductor, but his music, while, yes, "ahead of its time," is ultimately rather boring. I literally fell asleep on both hearings of this cd. It is soulless, even chill. I feel greatly disappointed, especially with all the build-up about the "Flight of Icarus." No wonder Serge Lifar chose silence instead for his Icarus ballet! This cd is interesting only for its historical content.

Album Description

MINIMUM VITAL is certainly amongst the most original bands from the Eighties Progressive rock scene: twin brothers Thierry & Jean-Luc PAYSSAN mix art-rock influences from YES, an amazing virtuosity coming from jazz-rock fusion, many innovations and a deep mark from medieval and southern European traditional musics. From these diverse elements, MINIMUM VITAL built a style with a huge identity and originality. "Envol Triangles/Les Saisons Marines" includes their first cassette (1985) with a wonderful, clear and animated flute, and their first LP (1987) where their music startles with creativity. "Sarabande" (1990) integrates the same elements: musicality, virtuosity, harmonic research and melodical impact, and reflects the strong personality of the band, which reaches here the same level as the "masters" YES and CAMEL, thanks to this elaborated and innovative Progressive rock. Not to be missed !
