This CD contains a attempt modern music styles such as headstock, rock, jazz and electronic elements incorporate in traditional music. But now this has happened already more, thinks of James charge, Berdien Stenberg, Thijs of leathers and André Rieu or to The Nice, Emerson Lake & Palmer, Ekseption, Tomita and Wendy Carlos.
Those produced leading arrangements of existing traditional pieces. Rondo Veneziano brought own composities which lie nicely in the interview and also Jon Lord experimented in the years ` 70 with Deep Purple, but also solo (Gemini suite and sarabande) with traditionally/rock projects. Fugato Orchestra belong at this last category, because the traditionally trained Balázs Alpár from Hungary (born in 1982, thus just 22 years!) composed thirteen of the fifteen pieces themselves and arranged the other two.
Alpár collected a number of young muzikanten gone that the traditional orchestra and chancel of forms and completed themselves it with acoustic jet ear, bass jet ear, drums and percussion. Alpár play on themselves piano, synthesizer and tilinko (a traditional hongaarse flute without finger breaches). A small seizure from the material of Neander Variations. Witches Sabbath are a swinging compositie provide with synthesizer. The fraaie Neander Valley Chase on the other hand are compare with the Mandalaband. Also Peace or Mine are of unprecedented beauty with a head role for Alpár on piano. Virelai have Celtic influences, mainly by the block-system flute contribution. Splendidly it romantic serenade with jazzy an interlude on piano and again block-system flute is. In Joke Alpár perform a solo deliciously on piano with flute - and orchestra support. If extraatje has been added minutes still 19 video on which is liveregistratie of the orchestra in Budapest (November 2003) to see. The numbers Etnoid, Hoquetus and are admire a compilation of some other composities in this. It is terribly how this young virtuoos a bridge weet to beat between traditional and modern music.
