Slee Sinfonietta Concert, Ohio – USA
Contributed by Henry Doktorski
Henry Doktorski recently performed with the Slee Sinfonietta, a professional chamber orchestra in residence at the University at Buffalo, in the world-premiere performance of ‘Opening Veins’ by the award-winning American composer Andrew Rindfleisch. The concert, at the Drinko Recital Hall at Cleveland State University in Cleveland, Ohio, featured contemporary works by composers David Felder, Morton Feldman, and Rindfleisch.
The Cleveland ‘Plain Dealer’ music critic Donald Rosenberg wrote about Rindfleisch's ‘Opening Veins’: “Composers often go to extremes as they explore expressive ideas and sonic colors…. The last work [Opening Veins] is a gripping journey into the high anxiety of the creative process. Piercing clarinet and saxophone riffs lead to frenetic rhythms, wind and brass screams and percussive clamor. The Varese-like din occasionally relaxes into troubled tranquillity, with an accordion adding mysterious shadings. Rindfleisch has a whale of a time teasing the listener with uproarious sonic gestures and rhythmic vivacity. Even when strings play soft harmonics, a flute ruminates and a double bass and trombones rumble, something is stirring. An ensemble exclamation point brings the piece to a brilliant close. The performance, led by the composer, was a thriller”.
Doktorski said, "I had a great time working with the Slee Sinfonietta under the direction of conductor/composer Andrew Rindfleisch. Everything was extraordinary: the musicians; the staff and the composer/conductor and the audience response. I hope Andrew Rindfleisch will write more music for accordion"
