about

For Bravura’s first outing on Rattle, Jonathan Besser and producer Steve Garden decided they wanted to create a sound that was very ‘open’ in its structural architecture and sonic textures. While the pieces on Turn were designed to sound composed, they offered enormous scope for collective improvisation. The group recorded each piece just moments after seeing the scores for the first time, encouraging a greater degree of spontaneity. Over many years, Bravura developed an intuitive appreciation of each other’s musical sensitivities, so this approach played to their collective strength.

" … beautiful, free-flowing, peaceful music, where it’s not always clear where composition ends and improvisation begins." 
Bruce Morley, NZ MUSICIAN

“Immaculately recorded by Steve Garden in the ambience of a Coromandel beach-house, there's a quality of stillness and enchantment to this CD that many listeners will find irresistible. The hints of tango here and there remind us that Besser is a dab hand at Argentina's favourite dance."
William Dart, NZ HERALD
