DELOS DEBUT
Celebrate with Delos International
and Nina Kotova this exciting new partnership and the debut
recording of Kotova's own cello concerto. Known as an
extraordinary soloist, Nina Kotova brings her expressive playing
to Bloch's Schelomo and Prayer, From Jewish Life, Bruch's Kol
Nidrei and she infuses her own composition Concerto for Cello and
Orchestra with the playful and the poignant spirit of Russian
life.
Inspired by the musical traditions
of her homeland, Kotova's cello concerto embraces a range of moods
and the profound expressiveness of the Russian tradition of her
countrymen Mussorgsky, Shostakovich and Stravinsky. This debut
work is Nina Kotova's personal story, reflecting upon her own
Soviet girlhood and transporting the listener back to Tartar
Russia. In tandem with the Bloch & Bruch works - which are
also inspired by history and religious themes - this deeply
personal and passionate release is bound to inspire the listener.
Recorded at the Great Hall of the
Moscow Conservatory, where Nina Kotova was taken to hear her first
concert performance by her father (a celebrated bassist in his own
right), this release also features the exceptional musicality of
Maestro Constantine Orbelian and his Philharmonia of Russia.
