ECM 2239 Dobrinka Tabakova ‘String Paths’ (2013)

・Review
イギリス系ブルガリアン女性作曲家。1980年生まれ。
コンチェルトにおけるI. Turbulent, tenseの勢いに満ちた重厚な響き。続く曲もしかり。テンポが落ちても根底にある力強さ(あるいは生命力といってもいい)が滲み出てくる。大好きなアルバム。

作曲におけるコメントが以下を転記する。

“By the time I’ve put the last note on the paper, I’m already catching up with myself. Towards the end, there’s almost always a spot when you feel as though it’s like walking downhill, when it’s all coming together. I certainly look forward to that moment when you have perfect clarity and it all makes sense. […] Maybe every composition is about finding that moment again and again.”
