Description
[Machine Translation] Ben Falls + Chamber Music = Chamber Rock! The latest release from contemporary piano man Ben Falls is a collaborative album with New York-based classical sextet yMusic! yMusic, who have recorded and toured with Beck, Bjork, Bon Iver, and others, is a chamber music group that actively crosses over into pop music as well as classical. When Ben Folds was introduced to yMusic, he was impressed by their ability to combine pop and rock elements with classical and string elements in eight songs and a three-movement, 21-minute concerto for piano and orchestra. When Ben was introduced to yMusic, he felt that together they could create a musical collaboration that would unite his classical concertos and "chamber rock" compositions. The album "SO THERE" is the result of this exciting collaboration in two forms: a small chamber music + rock concerto and a larger concerto with orchestra and piano. This "Ben Falls meets classic" collaboration has already attracted a great deal of attention from the US and UK media! UK's The Guardian wrote, "It is no surprise that Falls' latest work is a touchstone and a beacon for Gershwin, who bridged the great divide between popular music and classical music in the Depression era. According to Falls, Gershwin was the Elton John of his era...But Falls has inherited Gershwin's enthusiasm in a sense, and his fans are ready to follow him. NPR MUSIC in the U.S. also praised him highly. Like Gershwin, Ben Falls has built a new bridge between pop and classical music. His new challenge is contained in this album.
