Clarinetist
Claudine
Movsessian
is one of the most acclaimed classical artists that has manifested in
music today - renowned for her melodic, polished, dignified,
imaginative, creative clarinet work and for her broad undertaking in
delivering a modern day classical tradition to broader and youthful
avid listener. Over the past few years, she has recorded many musical
works including some of the best clarinet repertoire of the current
day. Now, Sunset Classics is proud to announce that (Claudine)
Movsessian
has brought together two other music aficionados (Ema Dei and Dan
Handrabur) for what is the first time recording of a full length
album of masterpieces on its' debut self titled CD with Sunset
(Classics). On this first release at the Sunset Classics & Jazz
(SC&J) company, (Claudine)
Movsessian
performs her glorious clarinet works, along with a
never-before-released 'clarinet and orchestral' arrangements of sound
recordings, on a twelve (12) song full length album. The self titled
debut album, is available in stores on February 10.
“This
is one of the most traditional American klezmer albums that I have
ever heard” says Don Lichterman, the head of Sunset, although that
applies to the klezmer component of this intriguingly melange of
music in general. French clarinetist Claudine Movsessian has gathered
friends and created something quite different, yet timeless.
Movsessian's clarinet is driving on the first single and the first
video entitled "Heyser Bulger", as the trio blends in Rom
fiddling to "Oi mama, bin ich verlieb." “There is also a
sense of improvisation that pushed its' music to the edges of
classical styles, yet it is very accessible for any avid music
listener,” (Don) Lichterman continues to say about the self titled
CD. “Overall, it is indeed a tad different from typical American
klezmer music but there is that international feel throughout all of
the recordings on it” states (Don) Lichterman.
The
middle eastern style drums help make up the rhythms on the several
klezmer and Yiddish ensembles and (Claudine) she has gathered
musicians from around the world, that make up the diverse group.
Influences include not only klezmer styles and what be described as
Yiddish, its Middle Eastern rhythms are accompanied by clarinet
krechts, that make up a lively and what has been described as
syncopated classical compositions. The trio that make up the Mov
Sessian Project blend itself gently together which creates a
powerful group and moreover, a high leveled album from the beginning
to the end of it.
(Claudine)
Movessian's clarinet playing is second to none and the percussion
work is a great blend for fans of world music and of klezmer styled
music. The approach
to building the songs on this debit album with Sunset (Classics) has
been continuously evolving for many years. It just happened to
culminate on what became this self titled album. “What fascinates
me is how the beauty of the music shines through each song in such a
lively way” says (Don) Lichterman, and is “performed in such a
'romantic' way too which is hard to accomplish this day and age.”
(Claudine) Movsession has had the ability to now collaborate with two
amazing crossover music artists, Ema Dei and Dan Handrabur, two music
'specialists' that have helped revolutionize the way that world music
and electronic styled music is looked at today. They have all
incorporated their own musical philosophies to create this very
unique movement if you will, in this international style of music.
In
its approach to making a 'modern' yet rooted group of songs on the
CD, the hope is to fuse the old with the new, which is key to being a
viable classical music artist in this modern day. Claudine Movsessian
and her Mov Sessian project has only been an exclusive Sunset
Classical artist for less than year, and they have already captured
the attention of classical music listeners in no time at all, and in
essence is alluring its audiences worldwide with her breathtaking
playing and with the overall tones that are just wonderful to hear.
