Beautiful music, beautiful book
Granta UK’s Horizons Touched: The Music of ECM (edited by Steve Lake and Paul Griffiths) features essays by Griffiths, one of contemporary music’s finest critics, as well as short, reflective pieces by composers on ECM’s importance to their careers. The 448-pagecoffee-table book does justice to the label’s more than 1,000 recordings, despite not coming with a CD. With enormous photographs and many reproductions of ECM’s famous, haunting covers, this is a warm present to the label, as well as to its many admirers. Available at amazon.com; $59.85.
