Tre Voci.
In Italian, “Tre Voci” means three voices. In the case of this CD, there are at least two sets of three voices:
- First, the three composers, Debussy, Gubaidulina, and Takemitsu.
- The second set of three voices are the players listed below, who perform these works:
Debussy:
- Sonata for Flute, Viola & Harp
Gubaidulina:
- “Garten von Freuden und Traurigkeiten” (‘Garden of Joys and Sorrows’
Takemitsu:
- “And then I knew ‘twas Wind”
Performed by Marina Piccinini (flute), Kim Kashkashian (viola), and Sivan Magen (harp
Violist Kim Kashkashian, who won a Grammy in 2013 with her Kurtág/Ligeti CD returns to this recording with music by Debussy, Takemitsu and Gubaidulina.
Kashkashian, Piccinini and Magen first played together at the 2010 Marlboro Music festival, and they agreed that the potential of this combination was too great to limit it to a single season. Since then they have been developing their repertoire.
