Why This CD Matters
Ensemble Modern brings Frank Zappa’s intricate compositions into a contemporary classical setting, using a large chamber ensemble alongside samplers and synthesizers. The program moves from compact pieces like “Moggio” and “Night School” to the extended, shape-shifting “The Adventures Of Greggery Peccary.” It’s a distinctive way to hear Zappa’s music, with Ali N. Askin’s arrangements bringing the ensemble’s winds, strings, percussion, and electronics into the foreground.
