VLADIMIR MARTYNOV - PASSIONSLIEDER

“ …when we listen to the same music repeating itself, do we remain one and the same? And what is this 'one and the same?' Тhis particular mystery of 'one and the same' is what minimalism is preoccupied with”. Vladimir Martynov

Two new works for the strings and voices - 'Requiem' and 'Stabat Mater' of Vladimir Martynov, who follows his aspiration for the creation of the new sacred space.

VLADIMIR MARTYNOV - ILIAD

«…I tried to fit into the situation created by Vassiliev in the most organic way, so that the music would become an inseparable part of this situation. Nonetheless, I believe that the music to The Iliad is capable of an independent existence. This is greatly enhanced by the remarkable performance skills of the chorus of The Iliad, obtained in collaboration work with Andrei Kotov, Svetlana Anistratova and Tatiana Grindenko – the latter should be especially credited for the majority of innovations in terms of acoustics and articulation, which have become a hallmark of the present recording…» Vladimir Martynov
