“The Dissolute Society Comprised of All Sorts”
out on October 10th with Flung Records
“Isabella Gellis presents a formidable debut recording, The Dissolute Society Comprised of All Sorts which cannibalises Biber’s baroque suite for strings ‘Battalia à 10’ (1673) into a 35-minute epic for solo piano. Pianist Joseph Havlat’s performance channels staggering finesse, colour, and control, where Gellis’ musical layerings are matched by Havlat’s skill at sculpting sound at multiple depths and perspectives from just one instrument; the fruits of an artist relationship spanning several years.”
