 Serenade for a Widow |
| Bob's Gallery |
 |
| robably my favorite Breuker Kollektief CD of the moment. While the title tune (illustrated by a Gary Larson cartoon on the cover - a perfect visual simile for Breuker's music!) is the major work here at 24 minutes and raucously avant-sounding, the other nine tracks alternate between fascinating originals and perfectly-straight faced modern versions of such dated tunes as the flapper-era vocal on Remarkable Girl, and the opening and closing different versions of Reginald Foresythe's urbane Serenade for a Wealthy Widow. But the best thing has to be the ten-minute track titled Minimal, which gently parodies Philip Glass' Koyaanisqatsi score while taking it in several interesting new directions that Glass never thought of. |
