Wim Mertens has been a fount of creativity for many decades. Sometimes that creativity produces ethereal results, sometimes they are bland, and unfortunately, sometimes the results are unlistenable.
Of the many Mertens CDs I have, this is my second favorite (after Jardin Clos). His bubbly, cyclical, effervescent style works beautifully on almost every selection here. This lively and living music twists, turns, churns, and percolates into an intoxicating (how many mixed metaphors in THAT description?) blend that always puts a smile on my face.
As usual, the musicianship is excellent. But thankfully the music is as well, and Katelijne Van Laethaem, simply listed as "Voice" among the musicians, has a clear and penetrating soprano that makes these sounds alive.
A couple of dud cuts prevent a 5, but this is among Wim's best efforts. Fun, lovely, hypnotic, and gloriously played; the kind of music that deserves a much, much wider audience.
