Ear Candy: Jonathan Sacks, Jon Lord, Cameron Carpenter

By Michael Barnes | Wednesday, January 28, 2009, 09:46 AM

Three micro-reviews that don’t fit into any category:

Jonathan Sacks “Fifth (S)eason” (Navona) I was thinking: This sounds like high-end soundtrack music. Then I remembered Sacks writes for the movies. Craggy and spare at times, orchestrally fulsome at others. The seriousness of the packaging is a little off-putting.

John Lord “Boom of the Tingling Strings” (EMI Classics) The Deep Purple artist pulls from whatever disparate sources — musical and emotional — that his life has provided. The title composition and accompanying “Disguises” pull more from classical than blues/rock.
