Early Departures

Label Sono Luminus

Artists Matei Varga

€25,99 EUR
Tax included.

This album features rarely heard and recorded works by Dinu Lipatti and Tudor Dumitrescu, the theme throughout the album being the undercurrent of sadness that all of these pieces possess.

"Aside from Janácek, this evocation of the early departed has surprisingly little harshness. What comes through while listening to Lipatti, Dumitrescu and the ever serene Bach is more the soothing and embracing voice of love - love of life, love of music and love of giving something of yourself to others - rather than the lament of pain. And yet, I believe this particular program makes a strong case for my teachers’ belief: great music always comes from pain, even when it (almost) fully transcends it. The album is dedicated to all my mentors, past, present and future."

- Matei Varga, from: Liner Notes
