 Maria T: music by Alexander Balanescu - BALANESCU QUARTET with Steve Arguelles - - Mute - -
London-based Alexander Balanescu has created this very special recording as an imaginative reconnection with the national music and soul of his childhood Romania.
This two part work from BALANESCU'S string quartet (with percussion from Steve Arguelles and some sampled vocal tracks from Tanase herself) is split into eleven separate pieces, and so has the general appearance and feel of an album from contemporary popular music.
It does turn emotional and heart-stopping in some beautifully lyrical passages, but the music is distinctly "composed" and only when the voice of Tanase comes in does the passion rise to the point of abandonment more familiar to rock and roll audiences.
