MAZURKA – remaking Chopin

In Nils Henrik Asheim's and the Gjertrud Gypsy Orchestra’s re-interpretation of Frederic Chopin's mazurkas, the original piano versions drift in and out of the music, into full-blood Gypsy or Balkan-sounding parts, exploring the expressive potential of Chopin’s beatiful tunes. On the other end of the scale, the music dives into intriguing, experimental contemporary sound effects sometimes sounding like a film score.

 

Musicians: Gjertrud Økland – Violin.

Georg Reiss - clarinet, tárogató. Tom Karlsrud – accordian. Pål Thorstensen –double-bass. Trond Villa – viola. Helene Waage - cello, celtik harp.

Ernest Bangó – cimbalom.
