After bringing his Midas touch to the projects of Eberhard Weber, it was only a matter of time before Rainer Bruninghaus would be given an opportunity to lead, and did so at last to soaring effect on Freigeweht (Free-blown) with a group of sympathetic musicians and a compositional aptitude to match. Over the space of six fairly extended pieces, we find the keyboardist in many facets. Whether it’s sharing rhythmic savvy with Kenny Wheeler in “Stufen” (Levels) or swapping runes with Brynjar Hoff on English horn in “Die Flusse hinauf” (Up the Waterways), his hands abide in every blissful moment. Bruninghaus also makes orchestral use of synthesizers, especially in the airborne “Spielraum” (Scope) and “Radspuren” (Wheel Tracks). Wheeler’s chromatic soloing throughout only underscores the feeling of flight, even as a rolling pianism cascades as if down the throat of a thirsty deity. Hoff’s oboe shares the ghostly body of “Tauschung der Luft” (Deception of the Air) with a mounting drone, reborn in the sequenced arpeggios of the title track, on which we end. The oboe’s magic abounds, married to its surroundings by Wheeler’s irresistible binding force. As widely cast as Bruninghaus’s net is, the interactions with Jon Christensen delineate his art in clearest relief.
