Lately I’ve been asked repeatedly to recommend some great new music releases. I’ll try to do my best in highlighting few of the artist along with all other work. So here is another intimate, hauntingly contemplating music release, that touched me. Ólafur Arnalds and Alice Sara Ott NEW album The Chopin Project. You can hear one of the album songs in the video above. Ólafur Arnalds composed music for one of the better TV series, that I’ve put my time and dedication to watch a while ago and his compositions still resonate within me… And yes, available on vinyl also. Check the link below…
The music of Frédéric Chopin has been recorded hundreds of times before. But never like this. The Chopin Project brings together award-winning young Icelandic pop/classical musician Ólafur Arnalds and the acclaimed German-Japanese pianist Alice Sara Ott for an exciting new take on Chopin’s music. Arnalds chose a programme of Chopin works to create an emotional arc through the disc, and then composed linking sections for string quintet, piano and synthesizer based on the atmosphere and motifs of those pieces.
