On A Clear Day
) | Label: Coviello Catalog: COV91611 Format: COMPACT DISC CLAUDIA MARIA RACOVICEANThe path from the Romantic to the Avant Garde may seem at first sight a straightforward one, perhaps along a line from approachability to difficulty, from melody to fragment, or from harmony to dissonance. But first sight is rarely 20/20, as the particular path Claudia Maria Racovicean has chosen for this release suggests. By ear alone it is relatively simple to place the composers here on the historical timeline. More enjoyable, however, and the reason we listen to them together, is to twist that line into knots and loops that reveal connections across history. Claudia Maria Racovicean is a member of The Riot Ensemble, where she serves on the Artistic Board. She also teaches piano at Musicale school in Harpenden.  Price: $27.98 |
