Chimerical,
otherworldly, unpredictable - these are only a few words to describe
the subtle music of Steven Stucky on In Shadow, In Light ... Nell'ombra, nella luce, performed crisply by the
Cassatt String Quartet, exploits triadic harmonies and less stable
chords in fascinating juxtapositions, and contrasts of bright and dark
sonorities are the work's raison d'être. Ad Parnassum, a piece in
emulation of Paul Klee's idea of "polyphonic painting," introduces the
winds, strings, piano, and percussion of Cornell University's Ensemble
X. Stucky uses his sonic palette in a painterly manner, layering sudden
gestures and isolated pitches over soft, sustained passages to produce
glowing colors against a dark background of silences. In Boston Fancies,
fast ritornelli alternate with slow passages in a free fantasia on a
12-note theme. The Partita-Pastorale, after J.S. Bach, is a montage of
quotations fashioned to resemble a daydream of Bach's music. Sappho
Fragments, a setting of the poet's texts in Greek and English, plays off
distinctions between formal address and direct, passionate expression.
Accordingly, soprano Judith Kellock is both ethereal and earthy in her
delivery, and emotions are communicated clearly in these concentrated
songs. The performances are skillfully conducted by the composer, and recorded sound is focused and well-balanced. ~Blair Sanderson, allmusic.com
