As in Frank Steiner, Jr.'s enormously successful I Ching Symphony, Touching Silk is a lavish production. Balanced with dynamic rhythms and exquisitely poetic passages, this is music on a grand scale, filled with exotic sounds spanning the horizon from east to west. Touching Silk is a joyful cleanser, a break from our sometimes harsh world into one that is rich in fantasy and beauty.
Frank Steiner, Jr. is a German composer, but he's shown a penchant for Asian tonalities in recent years. His I Ching Symphony was a surprisingly austere and affecting work, and he dips from that well once again with Touching Silk. Steiner is a gifted sound designer and player, who tends to drown his uncomplicated melodies and often striking instrumentation in honey-laden arrangements and Ray Conniff-esque voices. Playing most of the instruments himself, and most of them being keyboards or samples, Steiner mixes electronics, acoustic orchestral sounds, and traditional Chinese instruments. An electronic wind instrument effectively mimics a Chinese flute on "Indira Chant," and Chinese zithers ripple throughout his arrangements. But Steiner's simple pentatonic melodies have a trite, faux-ethnic ring. Touching Silk is an updating of Les Baxter-styled exoticism, but the results are less charming for their pretensions. --John Diliberto
正如 Frank Steiner Jr. 之前的成功之作《I Ging Symphony 易经交响曲》一样,《Touching Silk 触摸丝绸》也是一张丰富的作品。动态的节奏与精巧的诗意乐节相平衡,这是具有宏大规模的音乐,充满异国情调,横跨了东西方的范围。《Touching Silk 触摸丝绸》是一瓶快乐的清洁剂,是对有时显得过于残酷的世界的决裂,将它带入一个充满幻想与美好之境。
