Description
Violinist Nicola Benedetti presents her third recording for DG, combining the lyrical beauty of The Lark Ascending (Vaughan Williams' aural portrait of a lark as it spirals up to the heavens), with two brand new works written specifically or her by Sir John Tavener. Though he is one of England's foremost composers, Tavener draws influence from cultures as diverse as Greek Orthodoxy, Hinduism and Sufism. Also featured is a premiere version for solo violin and strings of Song for Athene, the piece made famous by its performance at the funeral service of Princess Diana. Nicola's previous two recordings (of the Szymanowski and Mendelssohn concertos) have been met with critical acclaim, and have made her the UK's best-selling core classical artist. Forging a substantial international career, the coming months will see Nicola performing in Switzerland, Germany, US, Austria and Spain. These dates include her debut at Lincoln Center in New York.
