Dimitri Shostakovich 3 by Stratos Chamber Orchestra

Biografía del artista Stratos Chamber Orchestra

Stratos Are 16 Classical Musicians Violin Viola Cello String Bass And Organ Who Rotate Positions And Perform Without A Conductor. For This 70-Minute Album Which Features Music Spanning More Than 300 Years The Group "hopes To Connect People With Its Living Passionate Music That Has Touched Us In Our Lives." According To Founding Members Wieslaw Pogorzelski And Miriam Perkoff "a Few Years Ago We Came To Realize That We Wanted To Play Classical Music In A Less Conventional Way. The Composers Of Classical Music Were Passionate Vital And Emotionally-Driven People. On This Album We Wanted To Bring Their Work Their Intent And Their Passion To Life." The 22 Tracks On This Album Feature Two Italian Baroque Pieces The "Christmas Concerto" By Corelli 1653-1713 And The "Summer" Concerto From Vivaldi's 1678-1741 The Four Seasons. The Album Also Includes The Modern "Adagio For Strings Op. 11" By Samuel Barber 1910-1981 And One Movement From Swiss Composer Frank Martin's 1890-1974 "Etudes For String Orchestra" Written In 1956 . In Addition Two Compositions Share History With The City Of Dresden Shostakovich's 1906-1975 "Chamber Symphony For Stringed Orchestra Op. 110a " And Tomaso Albinoni's 1671-1750 Haunting "Adagio" Pop Fans May Recall The Latter Piece From The Conclusion Of The Doors' American Prayer . When The "Adagio" Was Discovered At The End Of World War II In The Bombed Ruins Of The State Library Of Dresden Only Two First Violin Fragments Six Measures Out Of 116 And The Baseline Survived. It Was Then Reconstructed By Italian Musicologist Remo Giazotto.
Pogorzelski And Perkoff "Stratos Plays Without A Conductor Giving Each Musician In The Orchestra More Input Into The Creative Process. We Sought Out 14 Other Players Who Are Not Concerned With The Norm - People Who Cared About Music Itself. Before The Four-Day Recording Session We Lived Together For Two Weeks On A Ranch In The California Hills Playing And Learning To Think Together. "In Addition To Our Rehearsals We Had Great Times Cooking Watching Gorgeous Sunsets And Enjoying The Beauty Of The California Coast. Thus We Forged The Essential Collective Focus That Amplifies The Intensity Of Feeling On This Album. In The Recording Session Our Vision Was Clear And Powerful And Articulated By 16 Distinct Voices All In Unison All Of Us Playing To Our Full Potential No One Holding Back." Stratos Is Far From Classical Relaxation. Every Track Is Vibrant And Captivating Full Of Raw Energy. On Some Of The Tracks Stratos Layers The Sounds Of A Thunderstorm Into The Lilting Strings. One Is Left With A Question Of The Two Which One Is More Powerful? Stratos Is Eleanor Angel Viola Roy Lewis Violin Kate Stenberg Violin Cynthia Baehr Violin Lorra Baylis Violin Robin Bonnell Cello Marie Flexer Violin Michael Grossman Violin Noriko Kishi Cello Jennifer Kuan Violin Stacy Lesartre Violin Daniel Lockert Organ Daniel Lockert Harpsichord Miriam Perkoff Cello Miriam Perkoff Producer Miriam Perkoff Liner Notes Wieslaw Pogorzelski Viola Wieslaw Pogorzelski Producer Wieslaw Pogorzelski Liner Notes Elizabeth Prior Viola Cecily Ward Violin Richard Wom Bass
