For Bryce Dessner, music is an expansive and borderless territory. As a composer of classical music, film scores and in the band The National – of which he is founding member and guitarist – the breadth and level of his creative output is extensive. In 2017, he first heard Ensemble Resonanz perform his music during his residency at Hamburg’s Elbphilharmonie. This album assembles four of Dessner’s most recent and important works for strings: a staggering full string orchestra version of his popular masterpiece »Aheym« followed by a new edition of his captivating string quartet »Tenebre«, featuring an appearance by vocal sensation Moses Sumney. Dessner’s string trio »Skrik« appears as a world premiere recording, while his orchestral piece »Lachrimae«, referencing the musical world of John Dowland, completes this collection of a multi-faceted composer

Tenebre is the title of one of the works on this album by rock-to-classical crossover sensation Bryce Dessner, and also of the album as a whole: on offer here are four separate works, not a single work called Tenebre. The pieces have been played, and in some cases recorded, in other settings previously. As such, the album offers a good starting point for those curious about this musician, whose experiments with classical music have lasted longer than those of his rock compatriots who have attempted such a thing. His success has now extended to continental Europe, for the performers here, Ensemble Resonanz, are from Germany. This group has experimented with the presentation of contemporary music in the setting of a nightclub called “Club Resonanz,” and overall, it would be hard to imagine a group more sympathetic to Dessner’s aims. The question of whether you can spot Dessner, the rock songwriter, in the music of Dessner, the classical composer, is not a simple one and seems to have been partly responsible for his commercial success. The connections aren’t obvious, but there’s a certain rock attitude added on to Dessner’s postminimalist and downtown New York influences, and Ensemble Resonanz gets this. Sample the evocatively titled Skrik Trio. Dessner’s staying power depends on where he goes from here, perhaps with a larger work, but this is an excellent snapshot of where things stand now. – James Manheim
