Dustings
The cello and piano chamber pieces on this album are all
very beautiful, and they sooth for the briefest of moments. It is like a tender
tease, escaping as listeners - to intone the album’s title - down aural pathways
that suddenly come to abrupt ends. The gentle vignettes are generally slow and
undisturbing, though fourth Tristesse/Escapsim
has a moderately rousing piano rise, yet this too doesn’t take its energy far. It
is neither dark nor dour in the restrictions imposed on each piece, but equally
there is no attempt to take you to plains of secured repose. There is a melancholic
dusting from the whole, but it is easily brushed off by the movement to other
sounds of the day.
