Product description

David Matthews invites you into a world of contemplation and introspection with his captivating album, "In the Dark Time, Op. 38 & Chaconne, Op. 43." Released on April 1, 2012, under NMC Recordings, this vocal jazz masterpiece spans 47 minutes of meticulously crafted compositions that showcase Matthews' profound musicality and emotional depth.

The album is divided into two distinct yet interconnected works. "In the Dark Time, Op. 38" unfolds in eight movements, each exploring different facets of darkness and light, from the introductory whispers to the meditative reflections and the triumphant coda. Matthews' ability to weave intricate vocal lines with rich harmonies creates a sense of intimacy and vulnerability that draws the audience in.

The second half of the album, "Chaconne, Op. 43," is a tour de force of structural complexity and emotional resonance. Through seven movements, Matthews builds a narrative of struggle and resolution, with the chaconne form serving as a foundation for his explorations. The interludes provide moments of respite, while the epilogue offers a sense of closure and transcendence.

David Matthews' "In the Dark Time, Op. 38 & Chaconne, Op. 43" is a testament to the power of vocal jazz to evoke deep emotions and provoke thought. Whether you're a longtime fan of Matthews' work or a newcomer to his music, this album promises a rewarding and enriching listening experience.
