It is a bit difficult to categorize this release by cellist Christoph Croisé. The music borrows heavily from popular traditions, including, in the opening Cello Concerto No. 1, Op. 6, a typical squarish backbeat pop rhythm track. Elsewhere, there are bossa nova and other tropical sounds, lots of jazz, and, in the finale of the grim, Ukraine-inspired Cello Sonata No. 1, Op. 9, Eastern European folk rhythms. Yet "crossover" is the wrong designation, and not only because Croisé rejects the term, arguing that it shouldn't be used for original compositions. These are classical pieces in which popular rhythms are but one element; they make many references to the European musical past. Perhaps the best way to look at them is to think of them as rooted in the late 19th century, with national rhythms replaced by popular rhythms of the modern age. Several pieces, most of all the Cello Concerto No. 1, are quite virtuosic, and this fits with the general concept; Croisé is adept at writing lines that show off his abilities on the cello, but he is also an alert chamber player who interacts well with the other musicians in the chamber pieces. A genuinely fresh album.
