Neharot

Neharot

Intense and complex compositions but highly melodious and accessible also, - tied together by Kim Kashkashian's outstanding musical personality, sensitivity and tone. Themes of nostalgia, feelings of separation and suffering due to the political situations in Israel and Armenia form the common thread of all pieces recorded here. Kashkashian's lyrical, haunting viola pervades the atmosphere. Betty Olivero's Neharót is one of these unforgettable pieces with the potential to stick in the listener's minds and to become a radio hit - a Gorecki 3 for the 21st Century?
