Beschreibung:	Anna Clyne: Mythologies became an instant media and popular success when it was released in October 2020 - "hands-down one of the half-dozen best classical albums of 2020", according to New York Music Daily. The album is now presented in a magnificent 2-LP set, the splendor of the glossy gatefold and solid 180gsm vinyl an appropriate match for Anna's enormous palette of colors and special effects. Anna's compositions balance striking originality with a comforting familiarity as she draws inspiration from historic styles and transforms them into a new musical dialect. Her background in electro-acoustic music and her fascination for a variety of multi-media - including poetry, visual art and videography - combine to create rich and exhilarating textures of popular appeal. The five works on Anna Clyne: Mythologies were written over a 10-year period between 2005 and 2015. A kaleidoscopic orchestral showcase, the set opens with Masquerade. Commissioned by BBC Radio 3 to open the Last Night of the Proms in 2013 and conducted by Marin Alsop, this curtain-raiser captures the spirit of that quintessentially English tradition, evoking an 18th-century outdoor festivity featuring fireworks, acrobats and street entertainers. This Midnight Hour, conducted by the BBC Symphony Orchestra's Chief Conductor Sakari Oramo, encapsulates the modernity and decadence of two European poets, Nobel Prize-winning Spaniard Juan Ramon Jimenez and Frenchman Charles Baudelaire. Oramo also conducts The Seamstress, a single-movement violin concerto in all but name, featuring soloist Jennifer Koh as well as the whispered voice of Irene Buckley reciting the work's inspiration, a poem by William Butler Yeats. More poetry by a Nobel laureate, the Irishman Seamus Heaney, inspired Night Ferry; conducted by Andrew Litton, the work conjures crashing waves and weathered seafaring. The set concludes with rewind , conducted by Andre de Ridder, a wild romp making reference to another vintage format, the VHS tape., Runningtime: 00:00:00, Commissioned By: BBC Radio 3, Commissioned By: Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Commissioned By: L'Orchestre National d'Ile De France, Commissioned By: Seattle Symphony Orchestra, Conductor: Andrew Litton, Conductor: André de Ridder, Conductor: Marin Alsop, Conductor: Sakari Oramo, Cover: Josh Dorman, Design: Paul Mitchell (9), Engineer: Neil Pemberton, Engineer: Philip Burwell, Engineer: Susan Thomas (4), Engineer, Mastered By: Jody Elff, Liner Notes: Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim, Orchestra: BBC Symphony Orchestra, Producer: Ann McKay, Producer: Benedict Warren, Producer, Composed By: Anna Clyne, Violin: Jennifer Koh, Voice: Irene Buckley, Labelcode AVIE2434.1 (AV2434LP), Marketed By Avie Records, Phonographic Copyright (p) BBC, Copyright (c) Anna Clyne, Published By Boosey & Hawkes Music Publishers Ltd, Recorded By BBC
