New classical music has seldom been so darkly and playfully entertaining. A second piano-and-violin piece, Devil in the Belfry, blends the otherworldliness of Federico Mompou with scampering phantasmagoria, illustrating the diabolical clock chimes from another Poe short story, an all-too-familiar narrative of conformity and its crushing consequences. LeBaron couldn’t have chosen a more appropriate historical moment to release it.
