"Celesta" is a suite of a dozen quietly transcendent, gem-like celesta solos, composed and performed by noted Los Angeles composer Michael Jon Fink. As each piece unfolds, revealing itself through elegantly fashioned variation, the listener is drawn into a highly nuanced, lyrical sound world. Taken as a whole, the collection creates its own graceful musical arc, and is certainly among the largest statements ever composed for the celesta alone.
Fink's usually quiet, lyrical music has been described by the "Los Angeles Times" as "lustrous," "metaphysically tinged," and "unapologetically tranquil." LA Weekly has written that his music is "of ethereal simplicity... he has shaped and refined his spare style greatly-it is distinctly his own." The album was recorded on one of Los Angeles's finest five-octave Schiedmayer celestas, which provide the perfect medium for Fink's delicate and introspective compositions.
Each solo on "Celesta" is a gem-like exploration of the instrument's unique timbres and expressive capabilities. Through the use of elegant variations, Fink draws the listener into a highly nuanced and lyrical sound world, one that is both deeply personal and universally resonant. The collection as a whole creates a graceful musical arc, showcasing the full range of the composer's artistry and the celesta's potential as a solo instrument.
In a musical landscape often dominated by grand gestures and bold statements, "Celesta" stands out as a work of quiet, contemplative power. Fink's compositions eschew virtuosic display in favor of a refined, introspective approach that allows the listener to fully immerse themselves in the music's delicate textures and subtle emotional shadings. The result is a deeply affecting and wholly unique listening experience, one that lingers long after the final notes have faded.
Whether experienced as individual pieces or as a cohesive whole, "Celesta" is a testament to the enduring power of the human spirit and the transcendent potential of music. Through his masterful command of the celesta and his keen compositional vision, Michael Jon Fink has created a work that is simultaneously intimate and universal, a true reflection of the profound beauty that can be found in the most quiet and unassuming of places.
