The Wallace Collection - Michael's Farewell
Michael’s Farewell
An engaging album of contemporary music for trumpet and live electronics. Featuring works by Andrew Powell, Roger Smalley, Tim Souster and Karlheinz Stockhausen, this CD offers an exciting variety of modern music and sound concepts which have gained renewed popularity in recent years.
Originally released in 2002 under the Deux-Elles label, the album is now owned by The Wallace Collection label and is being given a fresh new spotlight to promote this immersive music.
Two key works included on the album –Plasmogeny II and The Transistor Radio of St Narcissus were featured in the 2019 blockbuster film release of ‘Bolden’, a drama directed by Dan Pritzker, with an original soundtrack by Wynton Marsalis, which imagines the compelling, powerful and tragic journey of Buddy Bolden, the unsung American hero now hailed as ‘the inventor of jazz’.
The CD includes a 12-page information booklet, offering comprehensive insights to the music (written in English, French and German), the composers and the performers.
