Paul Giger - Chartres (1989)

user posted image

Paul Giger: violin
Recorded at the cathedral of Chartres, France 1988

Tracks:
1. Crypt I + II
2. Crypt III
3. Labyrinth
4. Crossing
5. Holy Center

QUOTE
Soon enough, though, it becomes clear that Giger is not in the
cathedral for a free ride - he puts as much into the sonic economy as
he gets out. The music is eloquent and rhetorically weighty, and -
what is often difficult in music for a single instrument - it sustains
a discursive thread over long stretches of time.  San Francisco Chronicle
 
QUOTE
Giger's music is undisciplined to the extent that it sounds more
like improvisation than a written out composition. In the range of its
references it is unashamedly eclectic; the naive and the rhetorical rub
shoulders; traditional, experimental and psychedelic happily cohabit;
everything is embraced from organum to Penderecki, from folk-fiddling
to the song of the humpbacked whale. Nor is a single trick of the
violinist's craft missed. Harmonics, glissandos, multiple stops, devil's
trills, fancy bowings, the noises of wood and horse-hair, all have a place
in the design.
This may sound unpromising, but in fact Giger's spectacular technical
control of his instrument saves the day. In virtuosity he far outclasses
many concert violinists, and his resourcefulness and assurance breathe
vitality into the work At best, in the concluding 'Holy Center' (much
indebted to La Monte Young and Stockhausen's Stimmung), there is a
marvellous sense of a man totally at one with his violin, voice and
instrument simultaneously lost in contemplation of the marvels of
natural harmonics.  J.M. Gramophone
