重新改編 (喬安娜．馬胥/卡洛琳．蕭/奧斯瓦多．戈利霍夫/孟德爾頌作品) / 路比．修斯 女高音 /朱利安．阿茲庫洛 指揮 / 歐洲聯合弦樂團
作曲家: Joanna Marsh / Caroline Shaw / Osvaldo Golijov / Felix Mendelssohn Bartholdy
指揮家: Julian Azkoul
樂團: United Strings of Europe
Having released their debut album In motion in 2020, the musicians that make up United Strings of Europe (USE) return with another innovative programme: Renewal. The title refers in part to the fact that the majority of the works included are heard in arrangements and adaptations tailormade
for the ensemble by Julian Azkoul, who also directs it from the violin. In Winter's House by Joanna Marsh and Caroline Shaw's and the swallow are both originally choral works while a second work by Shaw, Entr'acte, was conceived for string quartet, but is here heard in the
composer's own version for string orchestra.
A similar treatment has been given Mendelssohn's F minor String Quartet, one of the composer's final works, written in reaction to the unexpected death of his beloved sister Fanny. For the centrepiece of the disc, Osvaldo Golijov's Three Songs, USE is joined by soprano Ruby Hughes. The three songs were written for different occasions, but were rearranged by the composer to form a single work, capturing various strands of his immigrant identity as well as specific moments of inspiration, both felicitous and tragic. This is the first time all three songs appear with string orchestra on disc.
