Jacaszek - Treny
Wednesday 3rd June, 2009
Hmm... How to write about this without sounding like a gushing idiot...
It's just unavoidable really - this is easily one of the most beautiful records I have heard in a while. It must rank up there as one of the best modern classical albums of all time (although in all honesty I don't exactly have a huge knowledge of this area - if there are plenty of other records out there as good as this, I'm seriously missing out).
Trying to describe this is words will never get close to doing it justice, but as a token gesture - this album is all swelling strings, crackling electronics and ghostly vocals with great use of repeated motifs which work their way into your consciousness without even trying.
Hugely recommended.
