This remarkable recording of her orchestral and chamber compositions for strings is richly melodic, texturally sensuous, and often emotionally radiant. \\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe disc features Tabakova's Concerto for Cello \u0026amp; Strings and the Rameau-channeling Suite in Old Style for viola and chamber orchestra - both performed by the Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra - as well as three chamber works: the string trio Insight, the string septet Such Different Paths and a trio for violin, accordion and double-bass, Frozen River Flows.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe performers include star violinist Janine Jansen, leading the septet heard in Such Different Paths, and several of Tabakova's former conservatory colleagues from the Guildhall School of Music and Drama: violinist Roman Mints, violist and conductor Maxim Rysanov, and Kristina Blaumane, principal cellist of the London Philharmonic Orchestra.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eTabakova's music has a particularly 21st-century feel for its broad palette - its free mix of tonality and modality, of folk-music influence and the example of past masters. In it there resides the new and the familiar, or rather the familiar within the new, and vice versa; there are the spirits of East and West coursing through the pieces, usually hand in hand; and just as the composer's technical virtuosity is apparent, she displays a gift for direct communication that can be heard in virtually every measure.\u003c\/p\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\\r\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003ePersonnel: Lithuanian Chamber Orchestra, Maxim Rysanov (viola, conductor), Kristina Blaumane, Torleif Thed\\xe9en, Boris Andrianov (cello), Roman Mints, Janine Jansen, Julia-Maria Kretz (violin), Amihai Grosz (viola), Raimondas Sviackevicius (accordion), Donatas Bagurskas, Stacey Watton (double bass), Vaiva Eidukaityte-Storastiene (harpsichord)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eInsight\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eConcerto for Cello and Strings, I.
