Description:

One of the biggest dilemmas of our generation is where are we from, who are we, what is our identity? Globalization has made the whole world closer, bringing our cultures more and more together. I myself am a product of this mix, being born in Mexico to Russian parents with a Jewish background, having studied at a French school in Norway and grown up in Holland. Consequently I have often thought about these questions: which culture is closest to me? What am I? I could feel at home and relate to all these cultures and yet I am not really part of any of them. The music on this album explores the opposite perspective; each piece is very strong influenced by the composerâ??s culture. One can immediately smell the Hungarian landscape in Bartokâ??s Viola Concerto, Italian roots in the Carnevale di Venezia, the Jewish soul in Blochâ??s Nigun and Russian Orthodox chants in Kugelâ??s Preghiera. However there is a deeper meaning to the title of this CD, as the programme also touches the spiritual and carnal nature of the human being. During the process of compiling this programme I suddenly realized the strong religious connection between the second movement of the Bartok concerto and the two prayers that follow. This is followed by the contrasting â??danse macabreâ?? in the third movement, which for me is very much associated with the carnal ritual of a carnival, when one is allowed to release oneâ??s most primitive instincts. I believe each of these pieces explores the deepest roots of humankind, that core that will be there, no matter where we go or what we do. - Dana Zemtsov - NATIONAL ESTONIAN ORCHESTRA/DANIEL RAISKIN / AKL 2018
