ouvido: Max Richter - The Blue Notebooks (2004)

Formidável! Acabei de ouvir agora o recente "The Blue Notebooks" de Max Richter (link ed2k). Destaco as faixas "Shadow Journal" e "Iconography" (esta última sabe a Philip Glass). Este é um álbum que merece ser comprado, duas vezes.

"It's a dreamy journey: slow strings, melancholy piano, Phantom of the Opera organ all mixed with found sounds, rustic and industrial (but not too industrial.) Occasionally Tilda Swinton will read from Kafka and the Polish poet Czeslaw Milosz and you sway into a kind of Eastern European reverie and think: Wouldn't it be nice to live in Prague? Or a little town far away? Or anywhere but England? (Anywhere in Central Europe.) Richter's music makes you feel that you aren't the only person in the world who thinks and feels about things like this. When you're with someone you like and you don't need to speak because you don't need to say anything and you're quiet together. (I hope this makes some sense.)"
