“That kind of hovering, as if you’re in a register you’ve never heard. That’s one of the magics of Schubert,” asserted the stalwart American modernist Morton Feldman.
“Those words seem to describe all the music represented here,” says Colin Jacobsen, Co-Artistic Director and Concertmaster of the Knights, of the Knights’ 2012 album A Second of Silence. “They account for the way Satie, Glass, Feldman, and Schubert convey depth of feeling, contrast of light and dark, solitude and intimacy with the simplest of means. The Knights have been seeking a way to make a personal, intimate experience possible within the orchestral context, and this music spoke to us as part of that quest. We hope this music seeps under your skin, finds its way into your heart, and before you know it the rest of the world will evaporate."
