Music About Water
Evening Music | May 6, 2010
The San Francisco-based Kronos Quartet seem to be able to handle pretty much anything. They can be heard in film soundtracks (Requiem for a Dream, The Fountain), found supporting pop artists ranging from Bjork and Nine Inch Nails to Nelly Furtado, and playing the works they've commissioned from artists all over the world. Tonight, hear their interpretation of Azerbaijani composer Said Rustamov's Getme, Getme (Don't Leave, Don't Leave), and later, their version of Serbian Aleksandra Vrebalov's ...hold me, neighbor, in this storm. Both appear on their most recent album, Floodplain, released last month. Also tonight, music by Alessandro Piccinini, James Blackshaw, and Mary Ellen Childs
Also Featured Tonight:
Johann Joseph Fux / Alma redemptoris, K. 187
Ram Narayan / Raga Mishra Bhairavi: Alap
William Ferris / Lyrica Sacra
Alexander Knaifel / O Heavenly King
