In un post il 12 settembre scorso parlavo di questo festival newyorkese di quattro giorni dedicato ad Anthony Braxton e alle sue innumerevoli sfaccettature musicali.Questa sera gran finale con la prima presentazione dell'opera Trillum per coro e orchestra formata da 35 musicisti.Per l'occasione lungo articolo di Nate Chinen sul New York Times con intervista a Braxton e particolari su festival e musicisti: Anthony Braxton sat perched on a piano bench one recent afternoon, hands folded in his lap, wearing an intent but unreadable expression. Angled away from the piano in a no-frills rehearsal space in Brooklyn, he faced the dozen or so vocalists that currently make up his Syntactical Ghost Trance Music Choir. The singers, arranged in a semicircle, were tackling Mr. Braxton’s “Composition No. 256,” staring hard at their sheet music while trying to keep track of their conductor. It was starting to seem as if the piece, a slippery, scalar proposition, were getting the best of them.LEGGI L'ARTICOLO COMPLETO CLICCANDO
