About this product
The duo Jonian Ilias Kadesha and Vashti Hunter write of their new InchWhen choosing the title of this album, we were immediately drawn to the title of the first piece in our recording, Dhipli Zyia by Xenakis, which simply translates as 'a band of two folk musicians'. After delving more deeply, we discovered that Zyia derives from the ancient Greek word 'balance', which is such a vitally important element of chamber music, and indeed - in any relationship. Fittingly, Zyia is also another name for Hera, the Goddess of marriage from ancient Greek mythology. This album symbolizes an important part of a journey for us - not only as partners in chamber music - but also as a celebration of our friendship... Our recording centres around pieces which celebrate the joy and vibrancy of folk music, opening with music by Xenakis from the Balkans in Greece, Jonian's birthplace, then venturing north to Hungary for the Kodály, west to Switzerland/France for the Sonatina by Honegger and finally returning to Greece for a rarely performed duo by Skalkottas. We are both in love with folk music, particularly from the Balkans, and hope to pass on some of the joy it brings us when playing it!Inch Album Tracks 1. Dhipli Zyia, for Violin and Cello 2.

![Pohlers Praetorius - Erwachen - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/34fa55fc-020a-49b3-a39b-e7e9fafff0da.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
Awakening is the title of tenor Robert Pohlers' solo debut on GENUIN. Together with his pianist Friedrich Praetorius, he brings to life a unique compilation of lieder by Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy Songs of Nature, Life, and Love, sung mainly from the new edition of the Saxon Academy of Sciences in Leipzig. Why this is only now available is because the beautiful lieder are predominantly of private origin, and many of them were not originally intended for publication at all. With their intimate character, they are sonorous heart-to-heart messages, brought to us by the gentle voice of the former Thomaner Robert Pohlers and the clear piano playing of Friedrich Praetorius.

![Hilary Demske - Journey for One - COMPACT DISCS [CD]](https://pisces.bbystatic.com/image2/BestBuy_US/images/products/435d09d2-c561-4ca0-b9a2-343e96d47f7c.jpg;maxHeight=422;maxWidth=264?format=webp)
In the nearly 200 years since it's composition for voice and piano, many have tackled Schubert's Winterreise. Steinway artist Hilary Demske, however, transforms the cycle into a series of works for solo piano on JOURNEY FOR ONE on Navona Records, focusing on the instrument's poignant ability to represent the original composition's lyricism and complexity. By freely experimenting with melodic fragments and manipulating the placement and length of gestures-along with translating the meaning of Müller's poetry to music-Demske adds a fresh, unique perspective to classic repertoire. The result is a refraction, rather than reflection, of Schubert's masterpiece that produces a series of works that go beyond simple reinterpretation and venture into the realm of complete reimagination.
