solo album BACH ABEL HUME @ecm_records

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Anja Lechner’s first solo-violoncello album with works by Tobias Hume, Carl Friedrich Abel and Johann Sebastian Bach will be released on 18 October on CD and digital. Pre-order now and listen to her interpretation of Carl Friedrich Abel’s ‚Arpeggio in d-minor‘ through our bio link.

In the past, Anja Lechner’s extensive discography has captured the cellist as part of the renowned Rosamunde Quartett, as well as alongside seminal artists from both trans-idiomatic sound worlds and the realm of classical music, gracing her with rare musical farsightedness. With her distinct perspective on works composed for both violoncello and viola da gamba, Lechner sheds a fresh light on music written within a span of two centuries. Framing the first two solo suites from the famous group of six Bach wrote for the violoncello at its heart, the programme encompasses Abel and Hume compositions, originally conceived for viola da gamba, which are given new colour and breadth through Lechner’s interpretation on cello – In parts newly arranged by herself. And at the end, as Kristina Maidt-Zinke notes in the album-accompanying liner notes, “one marvels at the lightness and inner logic with which three worlds have ever so gently touched one another”. The album was recorded at the Himmelfahrtskirche in Munich and produced by Manfred Eicher.

Sortie du disque "After the last sky"
@ecm_records

"After the last sky" issu d'un poème du merveilleux poètes palestiniens Mahmoud Darwish.

Où irons-nous après les dernières frontières ?
Où les oiseaux voleront-ils après le dernier ciel ?
Où les plantes dormiront-elles après le dernier souffle d'air ?
Nous écrirons nos noms avec une vapeur écarlate.
Nous couperons la main du chant, pour qu'il soit achevé par notre chair.
Nous mourrons ici, ici, dans l'ultime passage.
Ici et ici, notre sang plantera son olivier.
Mahmoud Darwish

avec @anouar.brahem أنور ابراهم(oud, chant), @cellanja (violoncelle), @djangobates2 (piano) et @matseilertsen_bass (contrebasse)
