Opening the album is a selection of works from one of the musical heroes of her homeland, the Slovenian\r\ncomposer Uros Krek. Highly regarded in his homeland, Krek's stylistically accessible, well-crafted music is seldom heard internationally,\r\nmaking this musical encounter particularly valuable. A fluid pan-tonality informed the Three Autumn Songs while the other\r\nselections freely draw upon folk-influences and orthodox polyphony.\r\nAs a calling card to her new Danish friends, Maestra Batic makes an extraordinary artistic statement presenting the choral music\r\nof Else Marie Pade! Rightly celebrated as one of the pioneers of electronic music, Pade also composed an extraordinary catalogue\r\nof works for acoustic instruments and voice. As beautifully score the pair of stunning works from the 1950s are, nothing could\r\nprepare us for the World Premiere Recording of Pade's extraordinary Maria (1980) scored for coloratura soprano, bass baritone,\r\nspeaking choir and 7 trombones, and electronic sounds. Written as spiritual self-solace to comfort her from her trauma during the\r\nwar, Maria is a modernist musical Rosary, and a masterwork of contemporary religious music.\r\nTruly, Martina Batic and the Danish National Vocal Ensemble has taken us on an amazing journey you will not want to miss!\r\nOn the video from the recording, ? you will hear the Danish National Vocal Ensemble's artistic director Michael Emery, conductor\r\nMartina Batic and soprano Anna Miilmann talk about the music. Technician Mikkel Nymand talk about the new way of recording a\r\nChoir, special for Dolby Atmos.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alliance Entertainment","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50700255265068,"sku":"636943692424","price":16.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0863\/2257\/7708\/files\/4393227-3320961.jpg?v=1741214427","url":"https:\/\/joseyrecords.com\/products\/danish-national-vocal-ensemble-o-listen-to-the-music-of-uros-krek-else-marie-pade-cd","provider":"Josey Records","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
