She has perfect technique, but more importantly, she understands how to tell music to audience so that they understand what the composer really had in mind. This is a rare gift." -- John Corigliano, composer, The Red Violin Prize-winning violinist Maria Bachmann has been a featured soloist around the world and her recordings have generated critical raves; in a review of her debut CD, FRATRES, the New York Daily News named the release "the best classical recording of the year." Bachmann is an eminent proponent of contemporary music who has been praised for her romantic and deeply personalized approach to contemporary repertoire. She has premiered and recorded works by John Corigliano, Paul Moravec, William Bolcom, and many other living composers. Pianist Jon Klibonoff has established a versatile career as orchestra soloist, recitalist, and chamber musician throughout the US and abroad. He has several CD recordings to his credit, including two of twentieth-century violin and piano music with Bachmann. Maria Bachmann's title choice for this recording, Red Violin, suggests not only the Chaconne of Corigliano's Red Violin Concerto but also the brilliant color, energy, and lyricism that pervade every work on the disc. Here, Bachmann and Klibonoff have achieved a statement that reflects both her own adventuresome personality and a mutual artistic vision the two have shared for twenty years. Another driving force of this recording is Bachmann's long-time association with composer Paul Moravec, winner of the 2004 Pulitzer Prize for his Tempest Fantasy, which was written for Maria Bachmann and Jon Klibonoff's Trio Solisti (with cellist Alexis Pia Gerlach) and clarinetist David Krakauer. In 2000, John Corigliano won the Academy Award for the movie score of The Red Violin. In 2006, the Baltimore Symphony commissioned a violin concerto, developed from themes from The Red Violin. While the Chaconne for Violin and Orchestra is the first movement of the concerto, it remains a separate work both in its orchestral version and in the violin and piano adaptation.Genre: ClassicalArtist: VARIOUS ARTISTSNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: Endeavour ClassicsEAN: 0723721264857Language: English Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
