About the album


David Starobin continues his award-winning New Music with Guitar series after a six year hiatus. Volume 8 includes two solo works and two chamber pieces in their premiere recordings. Starobin’s own composition, Variations on a Theme by Carl Nielsen, takes Nielsen’s “Song Behind the Plow”, first published in 1899, and subjects it to 12 variations. Paul Lansky’s Partita for guitar and percussion is in four beautifully wrought and intricate movements. Six Pages by the Danish composer Poul Ruders, presents miniatures that range from light and comic to sustained and meditative. George Crumb’s Ghosts of the Alhambra is a song cycle based on poems of Lorca, and features the distinguished American baritone, Patrick Mason. Starobin’s influential new music recordings include his Grammy-nominated “Newdance” (BRIDGE 9084) and New Music with Guitar, Vol. 7 (BRIDGE 9239).
Neue Musik nicht nur für Gitarre - stimmungsvoll und vielfältig.

David Starobin setzt seine preisgekrönte Serie mit neuer Gitarrenmusik nach sechs Jahren Pause fort. Volume 8 enthält Solowerke und zwei Kammermusikstücke in Ersteinspielungen. Starobins eigene Komposition, die „12 Variationen über ein Thema von Carl Nielsen“, enthält dessen „Song behind the plow“ aus dem Jahre 1899. Paul Lanskys „Partita für Gitarre und Schlagzeug“ ist in vier wunderschöne und verwobende Sätze aufgeteilt. „Six Pages“ des dänischen Komponisten Poul Ruders präsentiert Miniaturen, deren Stimmungen von leicht und humorvoll zu nachdenklich und meditativ reichen. Der amerikanische Bariton Patrick Mason ist gemeinsam mit David Starobin in den „Ghosts of Alhambra“ von George Crumb zu hören. Der Liederzyklus basiert auf Gedichten von Lorca.
