Description
Violinist and violist Christine Wu, winner of the Outhere Music Recording Prize at the inaugural Berlin Prize for Young Artists, explores the relationship between time and memory in her new album Recollection(s) for Channel Classics. On violin, she performs Saariaho's Nocturne, where memories attempt to shatter the boundlessness of time; Bach's Chaconne, where the repeating harmonic progression inherent to the form evokes reverence, hope, and transcendence; and Jeffrey Mumford's eight musings . . . revisiting memories, a reimagining of musical fragments from earlier works. On viola, Wu presents Joan Tower's Wild Purple and Weinberg's Viola Sonata No. 2, Op. 123, where recurring rhythmic cells address the fragmented nature of recollection; and Stravinsky's Elegy, showcasing logical progressions of memories.
