Matriochka romantic fantaisies

Description

For her first solo album, the young harpist Alexandra Luiceanu has created a Russian and romantic program that echoes her roots. In this tribute to the childhood left behind, the music resonates like a reminiscence, that of the language from before, present and understood always. Imbued with this fascinating mystery, this recording titled Matriochka unveils the faces of romantic Russia: the sad smile of Mussorgsky, the painful intensity of Rachmaninoff, the voluptuousness of Erdely, and the tenderness of Ivanov. The variety of their works comes to life thanks to the rich sound of the harp. Like nesting dolls that she reveals to us one after the other, Alexandra Luiceanu explores the many facets of the Russian soul turned into music. Her technical mastery resonates with a natural charm in original virtuosic pieces and transcriptions. And fading behind the music, she humbly becomes poetry.
