Tracks list

Even before his solo concerts became popular successes, Keith Jarrett was
clearly getting a free hand from ECM founder Manfred Eicher, as this ambitious
double album of classical compositions proves. In this compendium of eight works
for all kinds of ensembles, the then-28-year old Jarrett adamantly refuses to be
classified, flitting back and forth through the centuries from the baroque to
contemporary dissonance, from exuberant counterpoint for brass quintet to
homophonic writing for a string section.

Though the content is uneven in quality, Jarrett is clearly sincere and skilled
enough to exploit his European roots with only a handful of syncopated
references to his jazz work. The strongest, most moving individual pieces are
the strange, gong-haunted In the Cave, In the Light (the probable source of the
title of Jarretts publishing company, Cavelight); Metamorphosis, with its rich,
flowing string lines, prominent solo flute, and free journeys in and out of
tonality; and the Bartok-streaked String Quartet. Jarrett himself plays formal
solo piano in the eclectic Fughata and A Pagan Hymn, and even conducts the
Stuttgart Radio Symphony strings. All of it is richly recorded in the ECM way,
making four strings sound like twelve.
