2014-2015 Left Coast Chamber Ensemble Set 3 - Circa 1945 (SF)
What did the world sound like in the 1940s? Music of that era straddled the old and new, as Left Coast shows with Martinů's neo-classical oboe quartet and a meditative elegy by Stravinsky. The ensemble revisits Messiaen's ground-breaking Quartet for the End of Time, last featured on our series in 2008, when Jerome Simas' sound was described as "clear, splendidly liquid, agile, mysterious, remote," and Eric Zivian's "bright-toned playing showered fistfuls of glittering notes" and with his "slow, serene pulse... he was, as ever, alert to the music's every gesture." (SF Classical Voice) And David Coll's new remix of the Ellington/Strayhorn classic "Take the A-Train" reflects on the WWII era from a 21st century vantage point.
