NEO
NEO reflects the use of classical forms in the 20th century – ‘neo classical’. It points to the future, and in music saw composers throwing off the romantic era’s excesses and striving for a new clarity and stability. However, the term NEO in this musical context shouldn’t always be seen as a case of ‘out with the old, in with the new’. The heritage of earlier romantic styles – Tchaikovsky, Borodin, Rimsky-Korsakov can be detected in the music by Scriabin, Prokofiev and Shostakovich on this album. In an uncertain and turbulent world, the old ways can be a comfort and provide a sense of stability.
FIREBIRD
The CD "Firebird" reflects the unpredictable character of the magical glowing bird in Slavic folklore. The bird can be both a blessing and a curse to its captor. Each piece is rich in complexity with unexpected musical elements – contrasting innocence with danger, stillness with flight, weakness with power, and contemplation with drama.
