Program notes: |
The sound of Vibraphone combined with the string
quartet is not very common. The mellow strings
meet the vibraphone to create a cloudy, hunting
atmosphere. The quintet is in five movements
made out of two main themes that wear different
look for each movement. For most of the time,
the piece is dreamy and cloudy. Yet, as in the
second and fourth movements, it also has an
energetic and humorous side. |
