Mira Glodeanu - L'art Du Violon Seul - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

by moonlight isn't just a collection of works - it also provides a certain overview of my compositional life, says Jeremy Beck. Bringing together music of his present and past, this selection of orchestral, chamber, and vocal music opens a window into Beck's sound world. From the celebratory Concertino for two cellos and strings to the pensive Serenade for orchestra, Beck's musical language is direct and distinctly American. His music embraces a continuum of tonal compositional thought that organically embodies previous developments while moving forward in his own individual style. Beck's music has been called Inch... forceful and expressive.... concise in structure and generous in tonal language, savoring both the dramatic and the poeticInch (Gramophone, 2013), while the critic Joshua Kosman has noted that Inch... novelty isn't the only thing music can provide, and the moody expressiveness of Beck's writing is it's own reward.Inch (SF Gate, 2013). Through his music - by turns confident and vulnerable, outgoing and intimate - composer Jeremy Beck reaches out to the world, sharing his artistic vision of the beauty, struggle, and thoughtful wonder that reflects part of our human experience.

The raw intensity of emotions in works like InchAretusaInch, InchSatya IInch, and InchIl faudrait d'abord désespérerInch, where each note unfolds with hypnotic allure, envelops the listener in a world of transcendental states. Dive into the depths of Camus' InchThe StrangerInch with InchPour triumpher du soleilInch and InchÀ chaque épée de lumièreInch - Dinescu's masterful use of sound effects challenges your comfort zone, evoking moments of scorching desperation and futile blankness, a testament to the composer's acute sensitivity. InchWorking with Violeta Dinescu in preparation for this recording opened, for me, a new music portal I discovered sounds I never knew my violin possessedInch - Irina Muresanu; Violinist Irina Muresanu's performance of Dinescu's work is astonishing, the combination of her technique and Violeta Dinescu's imagination is so contemporary, visceral and intellectually thrilling as to create the feeling that we are hearing an entirely new instrument. This is solo work at it's best, derived from wholly successful collaboration.
