Of Ukrainian origin, Boris Pigovat is now based in Israel where he has won several distinguished national awards. His Holocaust Requiem received the ACUM prize in 1995, and was premièred at a concert dedicated to the massacre of Jews at Babi Yar. Each movement is named after the Latin Mass text, the emotional symbols of sorrow, suffering and hope expressed purely instrumentally but led by the ‘human’ voice of the viola. The deliberately Russian Romantic style of Poem of Dawn was especially chosen by the composer for the work’s dedicatee, acclaimed violist Anna Serova.

François-Joseph Gossec’s name is more often found in history books than on record collectors’ shelves. During his long life (1734-1829) he contributed to opera reform in Paris before the arrival and domination of Gluck, was one of the directors of the Concert Spirituel, and wrote 50 symphonies. In old age he became the foremost composer of French revolutionary themes, and the first anniversary of the fall of the Bastille was commemorated with a performance of his Te Deum that featured more than a thousand performers. The Missa pro defunctis initially had more modest origins. Also known as the ‘Messe des Morts’, it was first performed in 1760, and aroused notable reaction due to Gossec’s use of trombones, a novelty at the time.

Il primo capitolo della nuova saga «Origin», spin off della serie «Lux», in cui la lotta tra le due razze aliene degli Arum e i Luxen ha modificato definitivamente la vita sulla terra. Sono trascorsi anni dalla fine del ciclo iniziato con Daemon e Katy e Luc non è più un bambino troppo cresciuto dai modi terrificanti, bensì un ragazzo innaturalmente bello, con tanti demoni da tenere a bada e un futuro avvolto nella nebbia. Quando Evie Dasher, diciassettenne, lo incontra dopo essere stata catturata in un locale noto come uno dei pochi luoghi in cui gli umani e il Luxen sopravvissuti possono socializzare liberamente, inizialmente lo scambia per un Luxen… ma lui in realtà è molto, molto più potente. La sua crescente attrazione per Luc la trascinerà verso un tradimento che potrebbe distruggere la sua vita, in un mondo di cui aveva sino ad allora solo sentito parlare, un mondo in cui tutto ciò che pensava di sapere sarà smentito.
