Ksenija Sidorova- Prophecy (PREORDER)
SKU: 3701624511985
With these works for accordion and orchestra, Ksenija Sidorova and Paavo Jarvi pay tribute to the music of the Baltic countries: the Latvian and the Estonian, who have been collaborating for over 10 years, recorded in Parnu with the festival orchestra created by Paavo, a luxury ensemble composed of the best musicians from the greatest European orchestras. Composed in 2007, Erkki-Sven Tuur's concerto, entitled Prophecy, explores the concept of the Seer, a person who can see the future but is often despised by the society in which they live. The concerto exploits the full power and range of the symphony orchestra, in total interconnection with the soloist: 'It's the most technically complicated work I've ever played!' says Ksenija. The concerto Dances by another Estonian composer, Tonu Korvits, was written for Sidorova and premiered in Parnu in 2024. The composer wanted to immerse himself in the accordion in order to write his work, even going so far as to learn how to play it... he drew out some unprecedented sounds from it. The Fruit of Silence is the work by Ksenija's compatriot, Peteris Vasks. He arranged one of his pieces for choir and piano, based on the words of Mother Teresa.
