About

A "story of 'fixed' and 'open' things" unfolds in Liza Lim's work Tongue of the Invisible on this new CD on Wergo's edition musikFabrik. Of Chinese descent, the Australia-born composer was inspired by the lyric poetry of the Sufi Persian poet Hafiz.

Tongue of the Invisible is a work for improvising pianist, baritone and 16 musicians, with text by Jonathan Holmes after poems by Hafiz.

"An ecstatic vertigo: There still isn't enough Lim on disc for my liking, but this release of the 55-minute song cycle Tongue of the Invisible will fill the gap for a while...The piece was written for Musikfabrik, and they bring a headily sensual quality to their playing. The instrumental introduction, a sequence of increasingly elaborate solo curlicues over an increasingly massive drone, is one of the most absorbing passages I can recall in Lim's output. If you're looking for an introduction to Lim's music - and if you haven't already had one you should be - then this may be what you need." - The Rambler 20/6/2013
