| liner notes: |
Brilliant. It’s trumpet music, indeed
In his most recent work, the Swiss trumpeter Peter Schärli is introducing a large musical family: there are five percussionists from all over the world, three wind instruments, two Western Occidental string instruments and the magic voice of Stella Rambisai Chiweshe, reckoned among the most original artists of contemporary African music. She is accompanying herself on the Mbira, an ancient Zimbabwean instrument. As well as the music itself, this production has been an odyssey and is now being published on CD, five years after being recorded. Peter Schärli is not just a convincing instrumentalist. He is also a schemer, a navigator, a creator of sounds, a painter of moods. His music spreads like a landscape, in which it gradually fades away. Green and brown oasis, blue and grey open land, the dark green jungle, ochre and black dunes, the turquoise and blue sea form a contrast to urban views. It’s folk, rock and jazz all together – music of travelling but no package tour music by any means. It’s music of broad horizons, endless longing and searching, yearning for faraway places – occasionally somewhat dry and bulky, yet pleasant. It’s music of voices, moods, late afternoons, growing shadows – proud and brilliant. It’s trumpet music, indeed. |
