The Classical Variations is, in effect, a commemoration of Uri
Caine's decade-long series of ambitious and sometimes
idiosyncratic explorations of classical repertoire from Bach to
Mahler. It combines previously released selections from Caine's
Winter & Winter CDs along with unreleased material. A little more
than half the material has appeared in previous releases focused
on Beethoven, Mozart, Schumann, Wagner and Mahler, while the
unreleased, generally recent, material focuses on Bach, Mahler and
Verdi.
The selection immediately makes apparent the breadth and scale of
Caine's work, drawing on musicians from baroque specialists
Quartetto Italiano di Viole da Gamba (for two new Goldberg
variations) to turntablist DJ Logic (another new Bach variation)
with everything that might be described as in between: classical
choirs, gospel singers, poets and postbop jazz bands. Part of
Caine's success comes from his profound understanding of his
material, its internal dynamics and elasticity (eg, ôThe Desdemona
Variationö on Verdi's Othello with singer Josefine Lindstrand and
a jazz quartet). That may account for the sensitivity and
intelligence of much of this music.
What counts for more, though, is Caine's wit and his developed
sense of the creative collision. You get it in Only Love Beauty,
in which divergent notions of the spiritual in music arise in the
contrasting pitch inflections of Barbara Walker and the Kettwiger
Bach Ensemble. It's there too in the rambunctious stride piano of
The Fats Variation, a Waller-esque take on Bach, or in the
almost hypothetical account of Mozart's Turkish Rondo, pushing
it into a raw, modal, middle Eastern-flavored group improvisation.
Caine's variations are as apt to restore an original melodic grace
as to deconstruct historical context, liberating the music in the
exercise of his own freedom. While this is likeliest to serve as
an introduction to his varied classical projects, there's enough
new material here to appeal to the committed.
