To capture the brilliant partnership between violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter and pianist Lambert Orkis, one only has to look to their riveting recording of Beethoven s Violin Sonatas. Over the course of those four CDs, the pair revealed themselves to be a lively, sympathetic team. The same description could be used for this single-CD recital, featuring four very different 20th-century compositions from four very different composers. The spiky nature and high notes of Prokofiev s Sonata stand in direct contrast with George Crumb s Four Nocturnes, a fragmented but short sonic journey filled with subtle harmonics and stark, hallucinogenic movements. Moving to Webern s Four Pieces, Mutter and Orkis literally define the essence of collaboration

Lions Fires And Squares is an exciting aural adventure through a sonic landscape that is as futuristic as it is roots based. Malachi-s lead vocals are as intimate as being seated next to a good friend at small dinner party and through her background vocals she paints with a series of incredibly vibrant musical colors. The spoken and the sung lyric exist here as equals; neither incarnation is an afterthought they are truly equal parts of the whole. What I enjoy are the different musical textures presented here and the confidence in which the uniqueness of the sound is presented. In a word, refreshing.

Imagine mastering your mixes without causing the lifeless, squashed, and over compressed sound that has become so common in modern music. We have all been at the mercy of the loudness wars for over ten years now. Masters have become louder and louder, at the expense of the music becoming harsh and lacking punch and dynamics. One of the main causes of this epidemic is the use of the Peak Limiter to achieve increased levels in the mastering stage. Peak limiters attenuate transients and often reduce punch, stereo imaging, can greatly alter mix balances, and cause a fatiguing result to the ears. Some of the top mastering engineers have found ways to combat this sonic degradation by using techniques other then Peak Limiting. One of the more popular techniques is the use of saturation in both the analog and digital domain. Another popular method is clipping the front end of expensive A/D converters.
