Nico Muhly Convenes Literature, Electronica, and More
7/18/08 at 2:00 PM
The restlessly creative (and constantly commissioned) composer Nico Muhly continues along his rigorously offbeat path on his second album. The title piece has mezzo-soprano Abigail Fischer reciting a list of old phone numbers and addresses that she and Muhly wrote from memory; “Wonders” includes settings of a poem by King James I and an excerpt from The Travels of Sir John Mandeville (circa 1356). Electronica, minimalism, and the Baroque all meet here.
