Jonian Ilias Kadesha - Suite Italienne - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

About this product
Suite italienne is the brainchild of violinist Jonian Ilias Kadesha - his second album on Linn - and the Swiss ensemble CHAARTS Chamber Artists. With Italy as the common thread through each of the three works, the riotous programme includes the premiere recording of Sollima's TYCHE, a violin concerto that was composed specifically for Jonian. Echoing Jonian and Sollima's mixed roots, the work absorbs musical ideas from different sources and, as the title suggests, reflects on the Greek goddess of fate, or the Italian equivalent Fortuna, and the ambivalence of life itself. The title work, Suite italienne from Stravinsky's ballet Pulcinella, is performed here in an arrangement for string orchestra, harpsichord and violin; it's playful style calls to mind the Commedia dell'arte. Vivaldi's 'Il Grosso Mogul' concerto, likely named after one of the largest diamonds to have ever existed, completes the programme and finds in Jonian one of it's most flamboyant champions.

Linn is delighted to announce a new collaboration with violinist Jonian Ilias Kadesha. This highly distinctive musician has worked with leading artists and orchestras such as Chamber Orchestra of Europe, Scottish Chamber Orchestra, Nicolas Altstaedt, Steven Isserlis and Patricia Kopatchinskaja to name but a few. For his debut album on Linn, he has recorded a high-flying recital of solo violin pieces spanning five centuries. One of the oldest pieces of music written for solo violin, Biber's angelic and absolutely mesmerizing Passacaglia stands alongside Bach's enduringly famous Second Partita, whose last movement is the starting point for the Ciaccona for Violin Solo by Swiss composer Helena Winkelman, which receives it's first commercial recording here. Twentieth and twenty-first-century works by Schnittke, Kurtág and Lera Auerbach, all heavily inspired by Bach's music, complete the program which augurs a fruitful partnership with a promising young talent.
