This album is filled by a huge potential of sound that soon can fully blossom like an underestimated butterfly chrysalis.
What grabs the senses is a beautiful, unparalleled contrabass play, boundless spaces and lyrical tones played with a passion for an unusual tribute to the classical music.
Sometimes all you need is that something to attract the audience, definitely not a generic implementation of someone else's arrangement.
A complete classical education gives no guarantee of success.
Attention is drawn by a breaking mastery of virtuosity that can be extract from the strings despite its appearance of a modest, but still having a very emotional interior, double bass. The idea to create a delicate soundscapes using such instrument with a slight addition of electronics, in a rare way sets new standards in combining classical sounds with ambient playing.
In a rhythmical way, with an approach full of ideas, we enter the colorful world, which in welcome affects the sensitive tones that are inwardly located.
"Weites Land" indicates a far- away space over the distant horizon.
It reveals us the land, which is inhabited by the ubiquitous cluster of midtones, hitherto unnoticed, as it blows through the skillfully stroked strings, we begin increasingly step into of each color breakdowns. Reproduced color range of emotions can be compared to the slow sunset, where the individual solar rays in a desperate last attempt try to distract the inevitably coming darkness.
In the background you can hear the gentle murmur of a distant sound fortifications, and along successively played notes we more and more discover the depths of this enchanting world.
Evocative sounds bring a new musical dimension.
Maybe sometime this is an abstract work, which may be considered even pretentious, but it undisputedly achieves the desired effect.
The theme of once less or more lazy, or smoothly changing tones, moves to the colorful garden of sounds, where there is an opportunity for the audience to be introduced to the rich spectrum of different shades of twilight.
This place despite initially overwhelming feelings inspires and breathes the layer of incredible energy.
A true virtuoso can be recognized by the way he makes the particular composition of melodic lines, as he emanates a vivid, located under the skin tension, that makes their creator so strongly desired.
It is an unique disc, showing the incredible layers of sounds that can be bring out of the contrabass, which is nowadays superseded by the bass guitar.
There is no doubt this is virtuosity.
Admirers of classical music and its variations will definitely be pleased with this release. While there may be those who say that the album does not have much to do with alternative music at all.
We can not be deceived by them.
"Weites Land" is a charming and intensely emotional recording, like the unexpired longing for distant places.
