Songs of Travel - Trombone Travels, Vol. 2 / Matthew Gee, Christopher Glynn
This second volume of Trombone Travels (Volume 1 is on 8.574093) continues with Matthew Geeās exploration of three great cycles of early 20th-century British song. Elgarās Sea Pictures evoke lullaby and turbulence alike, Vaughan Williamsā Songs of Travel chart a wandererās lonely journey through the landscape, and in Songs of the Sea Stanfordās music embraces both the somber and the exhilarating, with Gee joined by a trombone chorus to emulate the male voice choir. Throughout the recital Gee lavishes coloristic effects, the use of mutes, and subtle inflections that reinforce the tromboneās unique ability to mimic vocal techniques.
