Schoenberg
Verklärte Nacht
Just 22
years old, Alina Ibragimova has impressed critics around the world with
her ability to combine abandonment and control in equal measures. Hartmann
carried the German musical legacy left by Mahler and Bruckner through
the darkest years of the twentieth century. Schoenberg's deeply romantic
tone poem, Transfigured Night, depicts a young couple walking in the moonlight,
an ultimately consoling end to and evening of rich string sounds.
'I
love the open, honest quality of her playing. The sound she produces is
mesmerising: powerful yet never overdriven, golden-toned and with a lovely
singing quality. Then there is her near faultless intonation. Best of
all, however, she is adventurous.' The Times
A CD
