簡介。。。。。。
With Arve Henriksen's new album due at the end of the month, this classic album is finally available again. Do your homework* To get straight to the point, "Chiarsocuro" is probably the most startling and moving album I've heard this year. Arve Henriksen is a founding member of freestyle jazz experimentalists Supersilent, his inimitable trumpet playing and indescribable wordless vocalising has gained him a feverishly dedicated following, sparked off by the release of his debut album "Sakuteiki" back in 2001 and by several live performances that have left his captive audience gasping for breath. "Chiaroscuro" (taken from the Italian for "light and shade") is quite an unbeleiveable listen - cinematic in a way that words cannot describe, a vast panoramic ocean of sound reduced to the most silent, heart-wrenching string arrangements, delicate live sampling (courtesy of Jan Bang) and a whispered sweep of barely audible percussion (from Audun Kleive), hovering around Henriksen unique, mesmerising trumpet playing and broken voice. This is by far and away the most inspiring album I've heard this year, a completely wondrous listen that seems to defy categorisation or description. Sometimes you happen across a record by chance and it ends up changing your musical vocabularly forever - "Chiaroscuro" is one of those rare records. We implore all music lovers to check it out without delay. Incredible.

Arve Henriksen (b. 1968) is a Norwegian trumpet player. His distinctive flute-like sound can be heard in such bands as Supersilent, Christian Wallumrød Ensemble, Trygve Seim Ensemble, Veslefrekk, Jon Balke & Magnetic North Orchestra, and Nine Horses among others.

Arve studied at University of Trondheim, Department of Music, and has since 1989 worked as a freelance musician. He has worked with a wide selection of musicians, like Jon Balke, Anders Jormin, Edward Vesala, Jon Christensen, Marilyn Mazur , Marilyn Crispell, Nils Petter Molvær, Misha Alperin, Arkady Shilkloper, Marc Ducret, Ketil Bjørnstad and Tore Brunborg.

我的碎碎唸。。。。。。評價指數:9.2/10
我真的太喜歡這張專輯,可以說Arve Henriksen在Rune Grammofon發行的三張作品裏我最喜歡的就是這張。Arve Henriksen的小號演奏簡直太動人了,我至今也不相信專輯中的那個人聲是Arve Henriksen本人,那個好像歌劇女王般的高音,竟然是個男人?我不知道,但網上的資料裏都顯示著Vocal是Arve Henriksen。有待進一步地確認。整張專輯寧靜深遂,意境遼闊高遠,就像置身于一部包含著深刻的人生哲學的電影裏一樣,有些哀傷的宿命感。
去豆瓣上看看。。。。。。
