Roger Eno's latest solo work, out on Deutsche Grammophon, comes after his 2020 collaboration with brother Brian Eno, "Mixing Colours," also on the same label. "The Turning Year" blends new and older pieces, yet it boasts a strikingly unified feel. Eno envisions the 14 brief tracks on this album as a series of short tales or snapshots of various locations, each a tiny yet fulfilling world. His piano is accompanied by the string ensemble Scoring Berlin, their playing impeccably understated. The compositions and arrangements are minimalist and delicately crafted. There's a simplicity, a fragility, a sense of openness, and a haunting depth. Serene and soothing, intimate and reflective, this music is heartbreakingly beautiful.
Can someone help me figure this out? I've got a copy of this LP that's identical in every way, even the runouts, but there's a sticker on the back of the shrink wrap that says 'Made In Germany'. The one listed here says it's made in the EU. Are they the same record, or do I have a different version? Thanks a bunch!
I'm truly loving this album. I haven't kept up much with Roger Eno's work, as I often found his output to be a bit too new age for my taste. The Turning Year, though, is a genuine modern classical piece, reminiscent of his label mate Johann Johannsson, yet it carries a strong Harold Budd influence (rest in peace to both artists). The tracks are absolutely gorgeous, featuring luminous tones that cut through the lush strings and atmospheric sounds. Brilliant stuff.
Roger Eno's latest solo work, out now on Deutsche Grammophon, comes after his 2020 collaboration with brother Brian Eno, "Mixing Colours," also on the same label. "The Turning Year" is a blend of fresh and older compositions, yet it boasts a surprisingly tight sense of unity. Eno envisions the 14 brief tracks on this album as a series of short tales or snapshots of various locations, each concise yet fulfilling. His piano playing is masterfully complemented by the string ensemble Scoring Berlin, with arrangements that are both minimal and exquisitely refined. The music exudes a simplicity, a delicacy, a spaciousness, and an eerily haunting allure. Serene and soothing, intimate and mournful, this is music of heart-wrenching beauty.
This album is truly captivating. I haven't explored much of Roger Eno's work before, as I often found his music to lean too heavily into the new age genre. The Turning Year, however, is a genuine modern classical masterpiece, reminiscent of his label mate Johann Johannsson, yet it carries a distinct Harold Budd influence (rest in peace to both legends). The tracks are absolutely stunning, with luminous tones cutting through intricate layers of strings and atmosphere. Fantastic.
