Noted as a "maximalist" for his densely textured, intricately constructed serial works, Brian Ferneyhough is a challenging composer by any standard, and his uncompromising and intensely demanding scores are some of the most original of the late avant-garde. In such complicated chamber works as Funérailles I (1969-1977) and Funérailles II (1969-1980), both versions for seven strings and harp, Ferneyhough presents thickets of notes and short gestures that are tightly organized, but so abrupt and pointillistic that the lay listener may mistake them as random fragments, not at all as recurring ideas. Similarly, in the rhythmically layered Bone Alphabet for percussion (1991) and the angular Unsichtbare Farben (Invisible Colors) for solo violin (1999), the ear can only take in the surfaces of the music, having no way to grasp the underlying patterns that are employed. Yet it would be a mistake to think these pieces are just cerebral exercises, since Ferneyhough is too good a composer to pass off intellectual doodles as serious work. While there are designs in these pieces only a theoretician may comprehend and abrasive sonorities only a die-hard modernist may love, there are points of tension and release that are easily perceived, and textures and timbres that a prepared listener may appreciate without too much strain. The arrangement of the pieces on this 2006 Stradivarius release allows for maximum contrast, and the instrumentation is different enough in each work that aural fatigue doesn't set in. The performances of the two Funérailles by Ensemble Recherche and the Arditti String Quartet, directed by Lucas Vis, are acute and energetic, and the solo efforts by percussionist Christian Dierstein and violinist Irvine Arditti provide a counterbalance in their comparative mildness and quiet introspection. Stradivarius' sound is remarkably clean and direct, with natural resonance and almost palpable presence, due to close microphone placement.
