About this product

Anna Besson is a flautist with a passion for traditional music, who has already made an album of Irish folk music, The Dubhlinn Gardens (ALPHA447). For this new recording, she teams up with the Russian fortepianist Olga Pashchenko, an eminent specialist of Beethoven's music, to which she has already devoted three albums on Alpha. Together they explore his interest in the popular melodies and the various folklores that make up the mosaic of European music by performing four of his ten 'National Airs' op. 107 and two 'themes with variations' from op. 105, which will take the listener from one end of the Old Continent to the other, from Scotland to Russia via Austria. The selection of works by Romantic composers that completes the programme shows how they shared the interest in folk material pioneered by Beethoven and his teacher Haydn- Swedish tunes for Kuhlau, Hungarian for Doppler, Auvergnese for Walckiers.

Various Artists - Vietnam: Tradition of the South   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The music presented in this collection is considered to be InchentertainmentInch music, similar to that played in private concerts or on the radio, rather than for religious and ceremonial occasions. The South designation-of historical note, this music was recorded before the political unification of North and South Vietnam into the Socialist Republic of Vietnam in 1975-refers not only to the tradition's possible geographic origin, but also to the musical modes used. This recording features the dàn tranh, a 17-string zither with movable frets, and the ty bà lute, as well as a small block of hardwood in the shape of a short cylinder called song lang. Nguy?n Vinh B?o, considered by many to be the finest dàn tranh player of the mid- to late 20th century, performs solo on four tracks and is joined by Tr?n Van Khê on the ty bà for the final two tracks on the recording. The liner notes are written by Tr?n Van Khê, who is both a musician and a musicologist.
