‘Lips Concerto’ New CD, Moscow - Russiaby Dr Herbert Scheibenreif Manager of Friedrich Lips Productions |
This week has seen the release of a new CD by Friedrich Lips titled ‘Lips Concerto’. Catalog: CD025 In his ‘Concerto for Bayan and Symphony Orchestra’ (2009) A. N. Kholminov created an impressive fresco, where, with the background of the symphonic orchestra, the bayan was featured as a solo instrument in a very bright and pulsating way. The special dedication to the artist expressed in the title of E. Podgaits’ ‘Lips Concerto for Bayan and Symphony Orchestra’ (2001) is based on a series of concrete symbols. Thus, Bach’s invention in F major begins with the sounds ‘fa – la’, which corresponds to the initials of the artist. The digits of the telephone number of the artist (3152824) result in a melody, which the composer uses humorously in several passages. During the whole concerto, the magnificent beauty of the harmonic ellipse (this word also contains the surname of the artist) is charming the public. Thanks to his bright and optimistic view of the world, the composer confirms the life, the beauty and the joy of existence. For further information, sound samples and purchase online: CD025 |
