88 m. ago Hannah Frances: Nested in Tangles review – ramshackle arrangements power restless revelations

(Fire Talk)Wayward tempos and snapping drums break fresh ground in this unruly release from the Vermont musicianHannah Frances’s exhilarating sixth album is an unruly ecosystem: nature sprawls, resurfaced family trauma unearths “unrevealed roots”, an unexpected rupture creates fertile ground for new understandings to blossom. The deep steadiness of the Vermont songwriter’s previous album, last year’s Keeper of the Shepherd, is replaced by ramshackle clusters of kindling-snap drums, nervy woodwind, jabbing brass, all swarming together like a cloud of bees. Her awkwardly beautiful chord changes evoke ornate wood carvings; her tempos are always wayward.The showstopper is Life’s Work, a runaway quest about her hunger to vanquish resentment, blame and anger, the tumbling metre of the lyrics unspooling as if pulling at an endless ball of wool. “Learning to trust in spite of it is life’s work,” she declares, as a trumpet tries to keep pace with her. Surviving You makes clear that it’s not ...

2 h. ago Beethoven 5 Vol 4: Salvatore di Sciarrino album review – classical weight, contemporary subtlety

Jonathan Biss/Swedish Radio SO/Omer Meir Wellber(Orchid Classics)Biss pairs Beethoven’s fourth concerto with Sciarrino’s 21st-century miniature, creating a programme that is thoughtful and vividly expressiveTen years ago, immersed in his project to record all of Beethoven’s piano sonatas, Jonathan Biss began commissioning new works to pair with each of the composer’s five piano concertos. His recordings of these with the Swedish Radio Symphony Orchestra reach their penultimate volume with the Concerto No 4 and Salvatore Sciarrino’s 15-minute Il sogno di Stradella, conducted by Omer Meir Wellber.Biss’s tempos are unhurried in the concerto, and while his playing fizzes when Beethoven asks it to, this exuberance isn’t a constant undercurrent; the first movement sometimes feels a little episodic. Yet the tension in the middle movement between the belligerent orchestra and the serene piano is highly effective, and the finale, genial without being playful, has enough weight to balance it ...

2 h. ago ‘£20 a night for one of the most peaceful locations in the world’: readers’ favourite remote stays

From the Scottish Highlands to a Greek island, our tipsters have been awed by silence, beauty and wildlife in out-of-the-way corners of Europe• Tell us about a great country pub – the best tip wins a £200 holiday voucherI’d recommend visiting the Outer Hebrides island of Berneray for an experience of true remoteness. Here you can walk across the rare grassland called the machair to the white, three-mile long West Beach, which looks out into the North Atlantic, and marvel at the immense space and colour of the sea. We stayed at a Gatliff Hebridean hostel, which consists of two converted crofts where for about £20 a night for a bunk you will be staying in probably one of the most peaceful locations in the world. Berneray is between North Uist and Harris.Nik Fernee Continue reading...

2 h. ago John Candy: I Like Me review – starry but treacly tribute to comedy legend

The much loved actor has no shortage of celebrity fans, but this documentary avoids his more complex traits in favour of his sweet-natured on-screen personaHere is a film containing some heartfelt but often quite treacly and solemn obsequies to the late John Candy, almost as if he died a few days ago, with stirring, sad music running almost all the way through. There’s an amazing lineup of collaborators and stars, and it’s good to see Candy’s uniquely likable and buoyant screen personality, but the tone borders on the stultifyingly reverential.Candy was the much loved Canadian actor and comic who was a star graduate of Toronto’s Second City comedy troupe and its small screen offshoot SCTV; he was a contemporary of Dan Aykroyd, Catherine O’Hara and Bill Murray, and went on to star in movies such as Stripes, Uncle Buck and Planes, Trains and Automobiles. His death in 1994 at 43 was due to a heart attack caused by his weight issues, and drinking and smoking (though the movie rather pri...
