Jorge Sánchez

Jorge Pardo is a musician who needs little introduction, his musical career and the cast of musicians with whom he has touched is simply stunning, it makes your interpretive be extraordinarily open and willing to engage in musical adventures of varying degrees. Within these adventures is his latest recording, stories of Radha and Krishna, a job that has some basis in Hindu culture (specifically the mythology of love between Radha and Krishna) but raised with bases and electronic sequences, and even scratch body; an approach where the groove and rhythm take over the role of the album from start to finish. All this cast of sounds are interspersed with two languages ​​that Pardo knows and dominates to perfection, as a primary source flamenco and jazz.

Moldovan violinist Patricia Kopatchinskaya has recorded both traditional repertoire and music by contemporary Turkish composer Fazil Say, and on this album she turns to folk traditions of Eastern Europe and music based on those traditions. In addition to the folk music of Hungary, Romania, and the Ukraine, she plays works by Romanians George Enescu and Grigoras Dinicu, Transylvanian György Ligeti, Hungarian György Kurtág, Maurice Ravel, and Cuban-Chinese composer Jorge Sanchez-Chiong, who was a classmate of Kopatchinskaya's in Vienna. The roots of this music are close to Kopatchinskaya's heart and the album is clearly a labor of love.
