Emile Parisien & Roberto Negro: Les Metanuits

French saxist Emile Parisien teams up with Italian pianist Robert Negro for a reading of Ligeti’s String Quartet No. 1, entitled “Metamorphoses Nocturnes”. The team bounces to “Vivace Capriccioso” while getting dark keys and subtones for “Adagio Mesto”. Parisien flutters on “Andante Tranquillo” and screeches through “Largo”. Parisien uses his pads and Negro strums the strings for a percussive “Meccanico” and the two give noir shadows to “Allegro Grazioso”. Expressive reflections.
