Jerfi Aji - Poems Colors Flames - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

2017 marked the 180th anniversary of the birth of Queen Elisabeth of Austria. A widely unknown fact is that InchSisi,Inch as she was called by close friends and family, was a gifted poet, and that she provided for her lyrical work that it only be published decades after her passing. Elisabeth felt misunderstood by her fellow human beings. She became unpopular among the populace and at the court due to her many absences from Austria, and placed her entire hope in so-called Inchfuture soulsInch to whom she addressed her verses. In 2016, Viennese soprano Nina Bernsteiner inquired the internationally acclaimed - especially for his lied compositions - Austrian composer Albin Fries to set seventeen of Sisi's most beautiful poems to music. The result is presented on this . Nina Bernsteiner has sung 60 roles in her career to date, and regularly presents song recitals and performs solo parts in oratorios and symphonies. Her concertising has taken her to nearly all of Europe, as well as China, Russia, and South Korea.

This album completes Afshin Jaberi's powerful cycle of Ballades. The nine pieces together take the title The Eroica and offer a stylistic synthesis of Eastern melody and Western classical harmonic and structural traditions. Strongly influenced by the Iranian composer's Baha'i faith, the Ballades' narratives are focused on tracing the early years of one of the world's youngest religions, one dedicated to peaceful unity and the betterment of humanity. Afshin Jaberi is an Iranian pianist and composer, who was born in the Kingdom of Bahrain and brought up in Qatar. Although he demonstrated a facility for both performance and composition as a child, he did not receive any formal musical training until 1991, when he undertook studies first in Debrecen in Hungary, and later in Kazakhstan. His rapid progress and pianistic study, particularly of 19th century piano works, led to a series of extended compositions for the instrument, beginning with his First Ballade in 1991.
