Concert In Athens

Opis

Concert in AthensOpis:Product DescriptionA beautiful and exceptional live recording, Concert in Athens, is the tenth ECM release by Greek composer of music for stage and screen, Eleni Karaindrou. With Eleni herself on piano and the Camerata Friends of Music Orchestra, it incorporates moving performances by guests Kim Kashkashian and Jan Garbarek. The US violist and the Norwegian saxophonist have each made important contributions to Karaindrou's music in the past, Garbarek with his playing on the film-score for The Beekeeper (recorded on Music for Films) and Kashkashian as the key musical protagonist of Ulysses' Gaze. Themes from both those films are revisited on this album, amongst much that is new. A primary emphasis is music written for theatre: the wide-reaching emotional scope of pieces for plays by Arthur Miller, Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee provides a wonderful context for bringing the guest musicians into contact with Eleni's soloists, above all the brilliant oboist Vangelis Christopoulos. Recorded November 2010, with Manfred Eicher as producer, Concert in Athens gives perhaps the fullest picture of Eleni Karaindrou's outstanding compositional creativity to date. Personnel: Kim Kashkashian (viola), Jan Garbarek (tenor saxophone), Vangelis Christopoulos (oboe), Eleni Karaindrou (piano), Camerata Friends of Music Orchestra, Alexandros Myrat (conductor)Review'Karaindrou's compositions are surprisingly soft-spoken, highly effective and hugely enjoyable. Well worth hearing.' -- Scotland On Sunday, (Alexander Bryce) * * * * *'A beguiling concert by an all-star group...recorded with characteristic ECM warmth and clarity.' -- BBC Music Magazine, (Barry Witherden) * * * *'Fabulous solos from Garbarek, Kashkashian and Christopoulos grace this concert of Karaindrou's beguilingly atmospheric music.' -- The Times, (Richard Morrison)'Karaindrou is joined by Garbarek at his most lyrical...

Kashkashian on viola and Christopoulos on oboe. When all three join forces on "After Memory", it sounds like a second cousin of Paul Giger's "Karma Shadub".' -- Financial Times, (David Honigmann)'Haunting, evocative album...

Garbarek's tone on 'Requiem for Willy Loman' is nothing short of miraculous, and his expressivity to draw rich meaning from the music is echoed on 'Invocation' and 'Adagio for Saxophone'.' --Jazzwise, (Stuart Nicholson)Autor:Eleni KaraindrouNośnik:Audio CDPłyt:Język: English: Published; English: Original Language; EnglishData wydania: 2013-02-04Waga: 0.20 gramWysokość: 0.5 cmSzerokość: 5 cmDługość: 5.6 cmpublicstoregreek songsellinika tragoudiamousikiorxistrikaUWAGA: Kupując produkt na tej aukcji zgadzasz się na wydłużony termin realizacji wysyłki (10-14 dni roboczych).
