Hartmann Concerto Funèbre

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 an evening of rich string sounds.

'I love the open, honest quality of her playing. The sounds 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
