ROOTS: ROMANTIC WORKS FOR CELLO & PIANO (Album Release Concert)
TICKETS ALSO AVAILABLE AT DOOR TONIGHT
"The energy they bring to their playing seems to jump right out from your loudspeakers and leave traces of happiness in the air."
~Preview of "Roots" from Classical Candor, Online Classical Music Blog
Acclaimed British Cellist Sophie Webber and Indonesian-born pianist, Ines Irawati, join forces for this San Diego album release concert of romantic music for cello and piano, in the beautiful setting and acoustic of Point Loma Community Presbyterian Church.
In the words of Ines and Sophie...
"Our vision for our new album, "Roots," was to bring together a collection of favourite romantic works from the Cello and Piano literature which are all transcriptions from another instrumentation. Originally composed for voice (Fauré, Liszt and Falla), violin (Brahms and Massenet), and clarinet (Schumann), we felt the reinstrumentation of these works exemplifies the versatility of the Cello and Piano. Furthermore, we felt it allows for a certain freshness of interpretation, while still being cognizant of the composers original writing and the expressive qualities of the instrument/voice for which each work was initially conceived."

ARTIST BIOS:
SOPHIE WEBBER
"every note has meaning rather as a look or a touch does; the resulting conversations she has with the music are endlessly absorbing... Her subjective narrative suggests the freedom with which Pablo Casals brought the music back to life a century ago."

This segue album was recorded with members of Chicagos Choir of Ascension and features Bachs Cello Suites Nos.1 and 3 alongside Sophies original choral arrangement.
INES IRAWATI
"One of the most vital, imaginative, artistic people on the scene Her way with lyricism was as vivid as her crisp definition of the scampering material without fear, negotiating the digital demands smoothly while remaining mindful of the score's rhythmic accents and nuances."
.
