Barbara Meister - Piano Works - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

This recording focuses on three of Martinu's song-cycles, and a selection of individual songs from an early period in his life that sheds fascinating light on his enthusiasm for song composition. Songs On One Page and Songs On Two Pages were written during his American exile, both utilising traditional and folk texts in compact but expressive ways. Set to Japanese lyric poetry, Niponari is one of his most important early compositions, revealing a transition from late-Romanticism to impressionism. Of Volume 2 in this series (8.572310) BBC Music Magazine wrote 'Some excellent songs here, in radiant performances'.

Bergen Philharmonic Orchestra celebrates it's 250th anniversary with a new CD! For this splendid celebration, the musicians of the orchestra asked their favorite Norwegian composers to create new music for them. All the works took shape in a dialogue between the composers and the soloists.
