Sonic Asymmetry

Edvard Grieg – “Concerto for Piano, op.16”

エドヴァルド・グリーグ – 「ピアノ協奏曲op.16」

TIME COMMITMENT: 32 minutes

This escalading, utopistic, consolatory melodrama is richly peppered with boisterous flashes of unfettered fancy.  The confident, even jaunty piano opening contrasts with the orchestra’s majestic, howling blanket.  The great Arthur Rubinstein infects the piece with Eastern European emotionalism.

A REFLECTION

Tonight, away begins to go

farther away, and the dream

what do we know of the dream

metallic leaps Jackson Pollock

silvery streams Jackson Pollock

I gaze across the sea

Inger Christensen – “From Light: Blue Poles”
