Violinist Mischa Lefkowitz of the Los Angeles Philharmonic performs original compositions by award-winning composer and pianist Danaë Xanthe Vlasse. The music is lyrical and poignant as it explores states of transition in people and in nature. People experience myriad transitional and, often, ambiguous emotional states; this album explores an intersection of the conscious mind and the subconscious while caught in dreams, memories, and longing. The album presents these concepts against the backdrop of transitions in nature, as portrayed through the ebb-and-flow of ocean tides, the passage of day into night, and the cycle of the seasons.
About each work:
1) Rêverie: A dream-state of worshipping the moon and admiring the simultaneous opacity and brilliance of the night-sky.
2) Nocturne Pour Caline: An emotional remembrance of a beloved pet, focusing on the impermanence of companionship.
3) Trois Chansons for Violin and Piano: I) An ephemeral time of blissful perfection.
4) Trois Chansons for Violin and Piano: II) A bittersweet commemoration of a lost child.
5) Trois Chansons for Violin and Piano: III) Longing for a city and a way of life - both lost in war.
6) Berceuse Pour Beau: A lullaby in honor of a stoic journey through pain and into solace.
7) Nocturne-Meditation: Reflections of a night spent in introspection and morning of epiphany.
8) The Sea: A contemplative imagination gone adrift, obsessing over the ocean tides and yearning for the unattainable.
9) Solstice Serenade: The Solstice marks either the longest day or the longest night of the year. This pivotal day bears the emotional weight we ascribe to the value of day or night. Either way, whatever positive or negative associations we make with length of daylight hours, the very opposite will incrementally advance through the following half of the year.
