详细介绍:
Home, for cellist Abel Selaocoe, is Sebokeng, a township to the south of Johannesburg, South Africa. But home means many things for Selaocoe, whether it%27s a physical location, such as Africa or Manchester (where he now resides), or the emotion of it that his cello provides. Selaocoe explores this abstract sense of home with his debut album Where is Home / Ha ke Kae, providing us with the results through his extraordinary musical gift.
As an African cellist, I%27ve always been looking for a home. But home is not a geographical space, it%27s the places in life that empower you—and these are not always comfortable, Selaocoe said in an interview with The Guardian.
Abel Selaocoe is not just a cellist, but a musical innovator. Where is Home / Ha ke Kae, draws on influences from every direction, from his birthplace to the musical haven that he found in works from the Baroque period. Selaocoe takes two forms of improvisational music—traditional African and Baroque compositions by Bach and Platti—and seamlessly blends them. There are also two beautiful solo moments that explore the sonic complexity of Selaocoe%27s voice and his instrument.
The whole album is just pure joy, from the moving arrangements of traditional African songs (the highlight being Zawose (for Hukwe Zawose) among many others) that feature cello melodies as well as Selaocoe%27s vocals, to the simply stunning and inventive renditions of the all-too-famous Cello Suites by Bach (specifically Suites 3 and 5). A peak moment is Selaocoe%27s arrangement of Platti%27s Sonata No.7: I. Adagio, which puts aside the Baroque tradition of solo and continuo (usually another cello, harpsichord or lute) and instead incorporates baroque theorbo, double bass and the traditional West African kora—whose extensive improvisational lines blend sublimely with the organic improvisational nature of Baroque music.
Without a doubt, Abel Selaocoe is one of the brightest stars in the musical world right now and will undoubtedly shape the future of classical music to come. The perfect Qobuzissime! © Jessica Porter-Langson / Qobuz
