Description

This brilliantly devised CD from Gerard McChrystal is a deeply personal album; at times melancholic, the music is always beautiful and captivating. Indeed, Aria has similar qualities to Jan Garbarek s Officium and will appeal to this fan-base. Featuring soprano and alto saxophone with a colorful array of different ensemble accompaniments string orchestra, choir, guitar, piano, solo, string quartet and electronics. Baroque music blends seamlessly with contemporary; Handel resolves into Michael Nyman, Debussy s Syrinx morphs into Ravel s Pièce en forme de Habanera. Other selections include original works by Billy Cowie, Karen Tanaka, Andy Scott and Michael McGlynn (from the vocal group Anúna who featured in Riverdance). McChrystal is a multi- award winning saxophonist who has performed as a soloist in over 30 countries with many of the World s leading orchestras and ensembles.
