Two brand new CDs by Nico Muhly will be released on September 6th 2010; A Good Understanding and I Drink The Air Before Me. A Good Understanding — a collection of choral works performed by The Los Angeles Master Chorale and recorded in Disney Hall, L.A. — will be released by the legendary record label Decca Classics. The Bedroom Community produced album I Drink The Air Before Me is taken from a score created by Muhly for Stephen Petronio's ballett of the same name. This album will be released worldwide by Bedroom Community in collaboration with Decca. Of course you can get it here, directly from your favourite little indie-label!
To quote Decca's press release:
Commissioned for the 25th Anniversary of the Stephen Petronio Dance Company, the piece [I Drink The Air Before Me] was premiered in New York in early 2010 and will be performed by them at London’s Barbican in October 2010. The release will be a collaboration with the eclectic independent label Bedroom Community.
“The writing was ingenious and troubled, maybe a warm-up for more ambitious orchestral scores. What made it work was the way Muhly had absorbed Petronio’s nervous, insistent choreography and echoed and extended it in his music. Well worth the watch and, even more, the listen.” – John Rockwell, ArtsJournal.com
Paul Moseley, General Manager of Decca said, “For many years Decca has strived to capture on disc the very best in contemporary music. Nico Muhly is one of the most exciting and individual voices of today and we look forward to many collaborations with him."
