Arsen Soghomonyan - Bridges of Voice and Soul - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Mark Abel pushes his music further forward with striking chamber works and three powerful vocal pieces featuring acclaimed singers Isabel Bayrakdarian, Hila Plitmann and Kindra Scharich. Abel's own evocative lyrics are heard in two moving song cycles, while poet Kate Gale's libretto powers Two Scenes from InchThe Book of Esther.Inch He writes InchFor me, Spectrum represents both an expansion of horizons and a summing-up of the ground traveled during my decade with the Delos tag. The 2020 The Cave of Wondrous Voice introduced my first three chamber pieces; it was followed a year later by Approaching Autumn, a duet that appears on cellist Jonah Kim's album of the same name. Spectrum continues this trend, featuring three new and compact instrumental works that partner the piano with strings, horn and flute.Inch Album Tracks 1. Trois Femmes Du Cinema 2. Reconciliation Day 3. Out the Other Side 4. Two Scenes from InchThe Book of EstherInch 5. The Long March 6. 1966

What a development the oboe has had since it was mainly responsible for pastoral moods or laments! At GENUIN, Juri Vallentin captures the entire timbre of a modern instrument on a recording. The prizewinner of the 2017 German Music Competition and other major competitions demonstrates the oboe's rich tone in interaction with wonderful chamber music partners. A real bridge over the centuries sparkling baroque music of Pez and Couperin meets exciting sounds of our days from Hosokawa or Erkoreka. An exquisite program, a world-class performance-absolutely recommendable! Juri Vallentin started his musical education early at the age of five by taking singing lessons and he switched to the oboe later on. He studied at the Nuremberg Hochschule für Musik and at the prestigious Paris Conservatoire, where he was the first external student to be directly admitted to the master's degree program and graduated with highest honors. As a student, he was a member of the European Union Youth Orchestra and nowadays, he makes guest appearances as principal oboe at the Gewandhausorchester Leipzig, the Bamberger Symphoniker and the Philharmonisches Staatsorchester Hamburg, amongst others. Since 2015, he is principal oboe of the Niedersächsisches Staatsorchester Hannover at the Hanover State Opera. Album Tracks 1. Alii Mundi 2. Symphonia 3. Drei Romanzen, Op. 94 4. Spell Song 5.
