Composer's Artistic Vision
André Jolivet, a composer featured on this album, was influenced by Béla Bartók and shared his taste for rhythmic energy that transformed folk music into Primitivism.
Compositional Technique
The rhapsody, a form used by Bartók and Jolivet on this album, is a free structure that 'sews' together scattered musical fragments.
Composer's Artistic Vision
André Jolivet's Incantation… To turn the Image into a Symbol was written for violin or ondes Martenot, an unusual choice reflecting his desire for an ethereal, intangible sound.
Composer's Artistic Vision
Akira Miyoshi, another composer on this album, reflected the works of Bach and Ravel in his music, while maintaining an Oriental conception of time.
