Over the Rainbow is a standard that has become forever associated with its most famous interpreter, Judy Garland. Her troubled adult years only added poignancy to her guileless interpretation of the song, preserved on celluloid in The Wizard of Oz when she was seventeen. The song would also do something similar for Eva Cassidy whose 1992 version brought her posthumous fame almost a decade later. Arranged beautifully by Christopher Hussey for SATB choir with Piano accompaniment, this anthem of hope has not lost its bitter-sweet yearning. / Choeur Mixte (SATB) Et Piano

Brooding melodies that rise like mist over dark, churning chords, give way to a warm, yearning section, returning for a rousing finish. The lush, romantic sound and the dramatic expressiveness thrill while technical development includes 16th notes, chromatics, and shifting. (4:30) / Orchestre A Cordes

part II of the cycle Profiles of Light. Par PINTSCHER MATTHIAS. 'Now II” is the second part of a triptych of chamber pieces entitled 'Profiles of Light”. The first part is written for solo piano (Now I, BA 11073), the second for unaccompanied cello. The two instruments are then combined in the concluding third part, Uriel (BA 11013). All three pieces were inspired by the Abstract Expressionist paintings of the American artist Barnett Newman. Newman's work has had a formative impact on Matthias Pintscher's artistic philosophy: what does it mean to reduce things to essentials while seeking maximum immediacy of expression? Several of Newman's paintings have a radiant light of uncommon intensity, yet resembling a dark illumination. The same sort of thing is found in the late works of Franz Schubert, where a comparable profundity and retrospective yearning likewise shine through the surface of even the brightest tonalities. This is a piece about resonances, about the inward and outward givens of existence, about life itself: 'I find the cello a highly suitable instrument for depicting such existential conditions'. / Niveau : 5 / Répertoire / Violoncelle

Par RACHMANINOV SERGEI / GERSTEIN KIRILL (Arr.). In the Silence of the Secret Night is a piano arrangement of Sergei Rachmaninoff?s setting of Afanasy Fet, taken from the composer?s song cycle Six Romances, Op. 4 (1890-93). The poem describes a fitful lover?s nocturnal yearning. This three-minute piece draws on pianist Kirill Gerstein?s idiomatic grasp of the composer?s music, transcribing the song in a way that recalls Rachmaninoff?s writing from the early 1900s. It makes for an ideal vignette in a recital programme or elegant encore, suitable for advanced players. 'In the transcription of Rachmaninov?s song?[Gerstein?s] musicianship was at once liberated and liberating.' The Observer (Fiona Maddocks) / Date parution : 2023-06-01/ Répertoire / Piano
