Listener Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Alone... (Audio CD)
This is, simply, some of the most beautiful music I have ever heard. Proving that New Music needn't be sterile or unapproachable, Simon Haram proves with this remarkable disc that far from being a melodic graveyard, New Music/Minimalism/Ambient can be among the most stunningly beautiful soundscapes on the planet. One thing that immediately impresses is Haram's sax sound/conception. Playing his soprano/alto/EWI/synth instruments in a very classically oriented fashion, at times sounding almost like a cor Anglais or oboe, Haram achieves a tonal quality for his particular winds that I've never heard before. Meshing uncannily with the Ambient/New Music sensibility, he creates a unique aural signature, one entirely apposite to the over musical concept represented here. Think Gerald Finzi, Gabriel Fauré, Samuel Barber, Gustav Holst, John Ireland, Maurice Duruflé, and Peter Garland at their most elegiac, and you, perhaps, get somewhat of a sense of the kind of music that's going down here. Simply gorgeous, and not to be missed.
