Pluton 4 p., Niveau 3MP3PLUTON for solo guitarby Jürg KindleThe arrivaI of this new edition through the post basically led to answering a question I posed a while ago when I reviewed this composer's work Terre (Earth). I noticed that Jürg Kindle had already composed Saturn and wondered whether we guitarists were going to be treated to a mini “Planets Suite”. Well, a quick check of the publisher's web-site now reveals that we do indeed have the nine major planets which make up the Solar System.I remember finding the other “planets” rather enjoyable and was looking forward to hearing more of the same and it is good to report that Pluto does not let the side down. With this planet being the farthest from the Sun, one would expect some “distant” sound effects and the composer does not disappoint. This effect is brought into being by the insertion of a matchstick through the three bass strings throughout the length of the work giving each note played on these strings a somewhat “hollow” resonance.The work itself has a very rhythmic drive, typical of this composer, and concludes with a fade-out ending reminiscent of the closure of this suite's bigger brother by Holst. If the rest of the planets are as interesting as the two I am acquainted with, I really look forward to hearing the work in its entirety.The presentation is very good and the work would be suitable for the Intermediate player.Steve Marsh (Classical Guitar)
