14. The Secret Garden of the Cordania
This setting of Austrian Expressionist writer Georg Trakl’s poems by composer and conductor Fabrice Bollon is the first ever composition for classical singers and solo electric cello. As a result the work’s striking sonorities open unexpected and fascinating new directions for contemporary music. Evocative imagery and colourful writing for electric cello can also be heard in The Secret Garden of the Cordania – a work dedicated to Bollon’s cellist wife. This is our second release of music by Fabrice Bollon, the first of which included Four Lessons of Darkness which is the first ever concerto for electric cello, also composed together with Johannes Moser. American Record Guide described the recording as “high-octane eclecticism with excellent, committed performances all around”.
