Description
Yevhen Stankovych (born in 1942) is one of Ukraine’s leading contemporary composers. His music for violin and piano is recorded here almost all of it for the first time. The works on this album cover a wide range of emotions, from wild highland dances that distantly recall Szymanowski to the plangent, lyrical lament of Maydan Fresco, protesting the deaths of demonstrators in Maydan Square in 2013. The musicians here – wife-and-husband team Ukrainian Solomia Soroka and American Arthur Greene – have consulted the composer on the preparation of this programme, giving their interpretations a rare authenticity.
