CD:
Balagan | Music by Schoenfield, Vivier and Bartók
Balagan offers a captivating journey through an array of musical landscapes, showcasing the exquisite interplay between clarinet, violin, and piano.
At its heart lies Paul Schoenfield's Trio, a vibrant and energetic composition that weaves together elements of classical, jazz, and folk music with masterful precision.
Claude Vivier's "Pièce pour violon et clarinette" adds an avant-garde touch to the repertoire, exploring the boundaries of sound and expression. Meanwhile, Béla Bartók's "Contrasts" offers a dynamic exploration of Hungarian folk melodies, infused with Bartók's signature rhythmic complexity and harmonic richness.
The arrangement of Ernest Bloch's Prayer by Thomas Beijer evokes a sense of introspection and reverence, showcasing the trio's ability to convey deep emotion through their impeccable musicianship. On a lighter note, the arrangements of eden ahbez's Nature Girl and Béla Kovács's Greetings from the Balkan bring a touch of whimsy and charm, offering delightful moments of musical exploration.
With the stellar performances of Noa Wildschut on violin, Pablo Barragán on clarinet, and Frank Dupree on piano, Balagan is a captivating recording that celebrates the beauty and versatility of chamber music. Each piece is brought to life with passion, precision, and a profound sense of artistic expression, making this album a must-have for classical music enthusiasts and newcomers alike.
