Mr McFall\'s Chamber: Revolucionario!
Genre: Classical
Catalogue Number: MMCC002
Label: Mr McFall's Chamber
Released: 2001
"Revolucionario", is all music from Argentina and Chile (mostly Argentina and mostly within the tango tradition). This features vocalist Valentina Martinez, a Chilean living in Edinburgh, who has sung on many occasions with Mr McFalls, particularly at the Bongo Club.
Mr McFall's Chamber plays Hendrix to elderly classical audiences, Arvo Part to stoned clubbers, mixes songs by Lowell George and Elvis Costello with new compositions from James MacMillan and Edward McGuire, seeks out music which straddles the divide between classical and other styles - for example, the tango music of Astor Piazzolla, the cartoon swing classics of Raymond Scott or the yippie modernism of Frank Zappa -, makes a string quartet sound like a rock group, using electric instruments, or rock music sound gentle and intimate on natural strings. We do these things, not to perplex or shock, not to labour a point or idea, but to entertain, move and excite
