The Particular Universe Of Canons In Pure, Instrumentation Undefined, Music: "The Musical Offering" BWV1079 Recorded On Electronic Instruments By The Turkish Born Belgian Pianist Mehmet Okonsar
CD Cover
The particular work is accomplished on many electronic and digital musical instruments and could call to mind the similar renderings by Wendy Carlos and Isao Tomita.
Nonetheless, on one side it is significantly less "clinical" as compared with Carlos and also tends to make a detailed use of "even larger" sound-spaces, and on the other side it is substantially less "affectionate" as compared with Tomita.
The big "Sonata in Trio" (on the Royal Theme) is accomplished with the help of sampled versions of historical instruments; usually "viol da gambas" as well as a "block-flute". The option for instrumentation, which happens to be left towards the attention of the performers by the composer, plus the articulation of different parts in the very polyphonic pieces never ever hide but rather expose the actual linear designs very precisely.
The performances features an in depth knowledge of historical playing. Nonetheless Okonsar never may seem "snobbish".
