About this product

SOMM Recordings' The Deeper the Blue offers an intriguing exploration of colour and timbre in music and a revealing investigation of the connections between four very different composers over a near-100-year period. Taking it's title from painter Wassily Kandinsky's assertion that a deepening colour ultimately Inchturns into silent stillness and becomes whiteInch, the recording illuminates the intimate relationship between student and teacher Vaughan Williams and Maurice Ravel, Kenneth Hesketh with Henri Dutilleux and the influence on Dutilleux of Ravel. Hailed by The Washington Post for her InchrivetingInch playing and Inchexquisite toneInch, virtuoso violinist Janet Sung and the Britten Sinfonia - one of the UK's Inchmost flexible chamber orchestrasInch (Evening Standard) - make their SOMM debuts alongside long-time tag artists, conductor Jac van Steen and pianist Simon Callaghan, the latter partnering Sung in Ravel's jazz- and Blues-accented Sonata for Violin and Piano. The last chamber music Ravel composed, it is a colouristic extravaganza brimfull with joy and irrepressible energy. The harmonic language of Dutilleux's piano suite Au gré des ondes boasts a wide colour palette enhanced in brilliance and charm by his former pupil Kenneth Hesketh's orchestral arrangement, here in it's first recording. Harmonic and instrumental colour is central to Hesketh's own music. Also receiving it's first recording, and composed in 2016 for Janet Sung, Hesketh's Inscription-Transformation for violin and orchestra is a richly intricate weaving together of the textures and tones of violin and orchestra. Commemorating Dutilleux and Hesketh's grandmother, who died during it's composition, it's a febrile, endlessly mutating work that pits stratospheric violin against agitated orchestra in music as complex as it is gratifying in the intensity of it's expression. Ralph Vaughan William

Various - Blue   - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

In releasing an album entirely of his own music, Guitarist, Lutenist and composer Lars Hannibal reflected upon an extraordinary - and somewhat unorthodox musical career. While studying classical guitar and lute with the great masters of the art, Hannibal lived a rich double life playing in a variety of bands and creative ensembles in artistic foment of '60s and '70s Counter Cultural Århus. It was during this time that Hannibal began finding his own creative voice, exploring the exciting intersections between Baroque and Classical form, the direct earnest expression of Danish folk music, the ear-pleasing appeal of popular song and the expressive possibilities of modal jazz. Hannibal has also found great joy in arranging music for the different ensembles he's performed with, resulting in hundreds of arrangements for various instrumental combinations with guitar. Finally, as one of the most active musicians in Denmark, Hannibal has been a champion of living composer, including many of Denmark's finest, including Jørgen Jersild, Palle Mikkelborg, Herman D. Koppel, Thomas Koppel and Vagn Holmboe. When assembling this program, it was only natural that Hannibal would draw on both his original works and his arrangements of Danish song. As a special treat, Hannibal, ever the mutli-faceted musician, the Neo-Classic composer, the pop songsmith, the faithful arranger of Danish folk song also takes pride in being Hannibal the Poppa, with his daughters, Agnete and Amalie and his life-long musical companion, his former wife Michala Petri joining him on his musical journey!
