Por\u00a0Enrique Farelo<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"\"The Sirkis \/ Bialas International Quartet<\/strong> public\u00f3 su primer trabajo en el a\u00f1o 2015 llevando por t\u00edtulo Come To Me<\/em> (Stonebird Productions<\/em>, 2015) y distribuido en edici\u00f3n limitada por MoonJune Records<\/em>). En 2019 el cuarteto regresa con Our New Earth <\/em>con la misma formaci\u00f3n a excepci\u00f3n de Kevin Glasgow (bajo el\u00e9ctrico de seis cuerdas), que reemplaza al estadounidense Patrick Bettison (bajo el\u00e9ctrico \/ arm\u00f3nica crom\u00e1tica).<\/p>\n

El israel\u00ed Asaf Sirkis y la polaca Sylwia Bialas colideran el grupo reparti\u00e9ndose la pr\u00e1ctica totalidad de las composiciones, quedando las letras para \u00e9sta \u00faltima.<\/p>\n

Our New Earth <\/em>pone sobre el tapete una obra conceptual de sentimientos y espiritualidad profunda creando un crisol de mil colores y formas musicales que explora rincones ocultos y paisajes inexplorados, que imagina mundos no creados, y que observa los existentes con una mirada diferente.<\/p>\n

La luz primera del d\u00eda muestra su color y su calidez y Sylvia Bialas y Frank Harrison rememoran a Renaissance<\/em> en la voz de Annie Haslam y el piano de John Tout en \u201cIf Pegasus Had One Wing (He Would Fly In Spirals); \u201cLand Of Oblivion\u201d es una preciosa balada donde destacan Kevin Glasgow y la tierna, intimista y c\u00e1lida voz de Sylvia Bialas creadora de profundas atm\u00f3sferas et\u00e9reas; la tenue luz filtrada impacta sobre los cr\u00f3talos para dar paso a las armon\u00edas vocales, una vez m\u00e1s, de Sylvia Bialas que portando alas vuela sobre la b\u00f3veda celestial para reposar sobre la tierra a lomos del piano el\u00e9ctrico de Frank Harrison y finalizar en brazos de Morfeo en \u201cLetter To A\u201d.<\/p>\n

\u201cReminiscence\u201d es una pieza de aires flamencos que conjugan a la perfecci\u00f3n la vaporosa voz de Sylvia Bialas y el piano de Frank Harrison acerc\u00e1ndose al disco de Chick Corea, My Spanish Heart<\/em>.<\/p>\n

El primero de los discos finaliza con \u201cChiaroscuro\u201d, una canci\u00f3n de tintes l\u00edricos, sutiles y serena belleza y letras en polaco. Una balada de sensibilidad jazzy<\/em> para goce y disfrute del piano de Frank Harrison y las escobillas de Asaf Sirkis, adem\u00e1s de la vocalizaci\u00f3n estimulante de Sylvia Bialas.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew Earth Suite\u201d abre el segundo de los discos a modo de suite que integra dos piezas \u201cRooting\u201d y \u201cOur New Earth\u201d suponiendo uno de los momentos de mayor calado y elevaci\u00f3n art\u00edstica de la obra y una composici\u00f3n paradigm\u00e1tica que incluye una riqueza de matices dif\u00edciles de encontrar donde se aglutinan un sinf\u00edn de estilos y formas musicales que van desde el minimalismo, la m\u00fasica de la India, la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica contempor\u00e1nea, la libre improvisaci\u00f3n, el rock<\/em> progresivo Canterbury<\/em> o el jazz.<\/p>\n

La espiritualidad de la voz et\u00e9rea de Sylwia Bialas contrasta con el minimalismo del piano de Frank Harrison en \u201cRooting\u201d fundi\u00e9ndose con \u201cOur New Earth\u201d ofreciendo un bosque sonoro donde se mezclan la m\u00fasica de la India, a trav\u00e9s del konnakol<\/em> de Asaf Sirkis, la voz de Sylvia Bialas o los teclados de Frank Harrison con la improvisaci\u00f3n libre y lis\u00e9rgica o la m\u00fasica cl\u00e1sica contempor\u00e1nea.<\/p>\n

Es en \u201cMessage From The Blue Bird\u201d donde vuelven a destacar Sylvia Bialas y Frank Harrison sobre todo por su equilibrio sereno y su belleza; bien distinto es lo propuesto en \u201cSpooky Action At The Distance\u201d donde las disonancias oscuras y misteriosas lo inundan todo de creatividad en otra composici\u00f3n de altos vuelos y sonido Canterbury<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Con \u201cNocturnity\u201d y \u201cPicture From A Polish Wood\u201d se cierra una obra que brilla con luz propia. En la primera de las composiciones destacan la ingr\u00e1vida voz de Sylvia Bialas, el bajo de Kevin Glasgow y el intenso piano de Frank Harrison con el complemento Asaf Sirkis para redondear y concluir. En la segunda, se debate entre el rock Canterbury<\/em> y la m\u00fasica de Chick Corea o el grupo Shakti, con un brillante solo de piano el\u00e9ctrico a cargo de Frank Harrison y los redobles de los tambores y el konnakol<\/em> de Asaf Sirkis y la omnipresente voz de Sylvia Bialas.<\/p>\n
