Editorial Reviews

The Bantam Orchestra is accordionist Guy Klucevsek's vehicle for exploring chamber works that get their daring from a variety of sources. With compositions that favor long-toned ventures into the harmonic low end, the Bantam crew--really a quartet of Klucevsek on accordion, piano, and melodica, Sara Parkins on violin, Margaret Parkins on cello and voice, and Achim Tang on bass--skips through influences as though they're equally versed in John Cage, music of the Balkans, free jazz, and the oft-cited Radical Jewish Culture movement in downtown New York music. Despite this breadth, much of this collection is eminently fascinating from the vantage point of nonserial chamber music in the 20th century. It's thrilling in the way Shostakovich's and even Dino Saluzzi's chamber works are, with a robust, widely accessible warmth. And yet it's in the vanguard unmistakably. Go figure. Klucevsek's that kind of genius. --Andrew Bartlett
