Label: Metaphon

偉業的再発!!名作CDを初LP化!!ベルギーの重要作家Timo Van Luijkが運営するアヴァン/電子音楽のアーカイヴ制作レーベルMetaphon。1960年代以降のルーマニアの前衛芸術において特異な存在であり、思想家、また預言者として執筆、絵画、占星術の分野でも活躍した作曲家/芸術家Corneliu Cezar。オリジナルは自国ルーマニアのAnastasiaより2000年にCDリリース、この人物が1967~75年にかけて限られた資金で録音した激レア唯一作[Ziua Fara Sfarsit]が初再発。LP化に際して若干の編集が加えられているものの主要な音源は余す事なく収録されており、信じられない程の力強く濃密な構造で終始圧倒。





Composer Corneliu Cezar (1937-1997) was a distinctive personality within the Romanian post 1960 avantgarde: a visionary of music, a thinker and a prophet, a richly gifted artist also active with writing, poetry, painting and astrology. Cezar was an activist rediscovering the natural resonance of sound within a different historical context and he embraced the recovery of authenticity as a reaction against the artificialized culture of serial doctrines. When, after 1975 the spectral music trend became official in Paris, with much fuss and
remarkable support from musicologists, nobody knew that this trend has already been practiced by a small group of Romanian composers lead by Corneliu Cezar for ten years. The four electro-acoustic pieces on this album (privately released on CD in Romania in 2000), recorded with little means between 1967 and 1975, display the incredibly strong ideas of a truly visionary artist. Everything Corneliu Cezar has done during his short earthly life bared the shade of authenticity.
