Freedom of the City 2001, Large Groups

This double cd features the two large ensembles from the 2001 festival.  The first ensemble is the 13-piece string orchestra directed by Evan Parker which he originally organized back in 1998 performing two extended works.  The second is the working 39-piece London Improvisers Orchestra under the direction of Steve Beresford and Knut Aufermann.

Typically, we think of improvising as a small group activity, but in the hands of these groups, one realizes that the constructs work equally well in large groups with an effect that can leave one numb at times with their power.

Comes with our highest recommendation!

Total time 135:32 minutes -- previously unissued
