Various Artists - David Fulmer: immaculate sigh of stars (2024)

Composer, conductor, and violinist David Fulmer's immaculate sigh of stars is a rich collection of his works from the last decade, including his violin concerto Jauchzende Bögen featuring Stefan Jackiw with the Deutsche Kammerphilharmonie Bremen alongside several chamber and solo works. Throughout, Fulmer displays his fascination with organizing ensembles into subsets and exploring the dynamics that evolve from those interwoven musical relationships. Recurring integrations of timbral experimentation, expressive use of quarter-tones, and drawing on literary sources of inspiration manifest powerfully throughout this eight piece album, a landmark document for one of his generation's most prolific advocates of contemporary music.
