Description
Reissued for National Album Day on both CD and an exclusive vinyl format, Avie Records presents 'East meets West'. Superstar violinist Anne Akiko Meyer's enduring album East Meets West, first released in 2003, receives a refresh in this remastered version which is also available in Dolby Atmos and on vinyl for the first time. Anne convincingly pairs the world of 20th century French music with contemporary Japanese works. Sonatas by the fathers of French impressionism - Claude Debussy and Maurice Ravel - foreshadow Olivier Messiaen's "Theme et variations", whose chordal structure is evoked in Toru Takemitsu's "Distance de Fee". Anne's close association with Somei Satoh resulted in the world-premiere recording of the Japanese composer's "Birds in Warped Time II", a work that made such a strong impression on architect Michael Arad that he incorporated Anne's recording into his winning submission for the design of the World Trade Center Memorial.
