Kairos. A meditation on contemporary music. Today, some tracks from the new album ‘Slow Healer’ from Lyenn, ‘old’ recordings from 20th century works and a beatiful miniature from Maurice Ohana.
In Kairos, you will hear two special ‘old’ recordings form 20th century works: a beautiful recording from 1965 of a song from Edward Elgar’s ‘Sea Pictures’ by alto Janet Baker and the London Symphony Orchestra, and a very special recording from the ‘adagio assai’ form the Piano concerto in G major from Ravel by Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli, recorded in1959 at the famous Abbey Road Studios in London.
It is an especially meditative interpretation of this work that is somewhat reminiscent of the comtemplative interpretations of Erik Satie’s piano works by Reinbert de Leeuw.
Equally special: a beautiful miniature from Maurice Ohana: ‘Neige sur les orangers’ and more beautiful music from regular guests of Kairos.
No, from WoNo Magazine was right when he wrote that this music would be perfect for Kairos! (http://wonomagazine.blogspot.nl/2016/05/slow-healer-lyenn.html).
