Ivo Perelman / Arcado String Trio
Fundajci Sluchaj
Who knows how many of you know that the whimsical Brazilian musician Ivo Perelman, now a New York citizen, was a student of classical guitar first and then of cello as a child. To listen to him, disruptive and irrepressible, alongside pianist Matthew Shipp, through a wide discography all marked by improvisation, would seem unthinkable. And yet Perelman has such a pronounced musical sensitivity that he is able to make albums alongside stringed-instrument musicians, as has already happened with the Strings series of albums, certainly more devoted to the classical language.
