Various - Chisinau 1: New Music for Orchestra

The Symphonic Orchestra of the National Philharmonic 'SERGHEI LUNCHEVICI' of the Republic of Moldova presents the new album CHISINAU 1. The outstanding album includes 3 world premiere recordings by 3 contemporary composers: Brian Field, Neil Stipp and Jean-Pierre Vial. Arctic Variations for orchestra, by Brian Field, is a work influenced by the photographic series 'Find a way or make one' by Anastasia Mityukova whose images are inspired by Robert Peary�s expedition to the North Pole in 1909. Her series contains a variety of photographs of ice, auroras and various snow-filled scenes. Symphony Capriccio for orchestra, by Neil Stipp, is a neo-classical five-movement work that is formal in structure, but its themes are more free-flowing and capricious in style. Jean-Pierre Vial composed this Piano Concerto in G minor between 2007 and 2011. The concerto consists of four movements, with two lively movements surrounding a slower movement and a brief scherzo.
