[ Sony Classical Vinyl / CD ]
Release Date: Friday 4 October 2024
Versatile composer, sought-after musical collaborator and guitarist Bryce Dessner makes his Sony Classical début with Solos, a collection featuring a series of unaccompanied instrumental works written by the composer over the past few years.
Dessner, who is also a founding member of Grammy Award-winning rock band The National has selected works from both his classical and soundtrack worlds, which showcase not only his compositional flair but also the immense talent of his acclaimed collaborators, many of whom work regularly with him and are his friends. Featured soloists include cellist Anastasia Kobekina; violinist Pekka Kuusisto; pianist Katia Labèque; harpist Lavinia Meijer; violist Nadia Sirota; percussionist Colin Currie; and Bryce Dessner himself on guitar.
" This album of solo pieces, while fundamentally "classical", still presents many shades of his musical style, as the kind of piece he writes for one instrument may not be reflected in any of the others. Dessner himself takes the stage in two short pieces for guitar, Francis and Walls. These are in the best tradition of guitar solos, the latter reminiscent of the Spanish guitar masters, and it is good to have Dessner performing in person." Financial Times
