Bang on a Can All-Stars

Bang on a Can All-Stars is the flexible performing ensemble associated with the Bang on a Can collective, established to perform and commission contemporary, experimental and post-minimalist works.

Bang on a Can was co-founded by composers Michael Gordon, David Lang and Julia Wolfe. The All-Stars ensemble was formed as a small, flexible group to perform and record new music and arrangements, and they have produced reinterpretations such as a chamber arrangement of Brian Eno's Music for Airports.

DeBaser hosts a single detailed review of Bang on a Can All-Stars' ensemble rendition of Brian Eno's Music for Airports. The review praises the faithful yet re-scored treatment for chamber instruments and highlights the emotional subtlety of the recordings. Overall reception in the review is highly favorable.

For:Fans of ambient, contemporary classical, minimalism and experimental/new music; DeBaser readers interested in reinterpretations and instrumental arrangements.
