Following her passion for seeking out rare musical gems, Angèle Dubeau presents Portrait: Alex Baranowski, the 6th opus in her series of albums dedicated to contemporary composers, which began in 2008 with Portrait: Philippe Glass.
A successful young composer based in London, multiple award winner and graduate of Paul McCartney’s LIPA, Alex Baranowski offers beautiful and generous music, rich in sound atmospheres. Under the breathtaking interpretation of Angèle Dubeau and her remarkable ensemble, La Pietà, this work reveals a wonderfully expressive and sensitive writing for the violin.
The album includes several key works from Baranowski’s repertoire as well as three previously unreleased pieces, including Wiosna, a commission that the composer describes as one of his most intimate works.
