Oracles Blast Œuvres pour violon et piano Kociuban Duo Gamsachurdia - DUX1110 - DUX - Classique

Time focuses on the present moment – one moment from an endless stream of moments. Every piece of music has a core that transcends time and pierces the inevitable chain of unraveling events. But what is the music of the future? Since we cannot know, we choose to focus on the present, bringing to the fore samples of the most forward-thinking composers – works that represent different potential avenues into the future. Their broad range of sound possibilities and their variety of styles, requires from us, the performers, a high level responsibility, understanding, and maturity to ensure the best possible interpretation – that which is truest to the composers’ visions. The works on this recording were composed by (mostly) young composers, all hailing from different parts of the world: Switzerland, Brazil, Japan, USA and Georgia. In rehearsing the music we worked with each composer as closely as possible, giving a fresh and informed interpretation to our playing. We view the close relationship between composer and interpreter as an essential part of musical understanding, a necessary part of illuminating the creative exchange between the lines of the score. We believe, most importantly, in the necessity of live-performances. Today, almost any music from around the globe is easily available via the Internet. This, we feel, causes a regrettable disconnect between composer, performer, and audience member. No recording (even this one) can ever match the communicative power of music performed live. Time focuses on the present moment – and so should we as both performers and listeners. Nothing can be as exciting and inspirational as the experience of new worlds of sound – the present moment. Music as never heard before. Oracle‘s Blast!
