A piano sounds quietly in the silence; an old song, long buried, heaves itself upwards to echo and resound anew. At first, J贸hann J贸hannsson鈥檚 atmospheric reworkings of Durham miners鈥� songs might not sound as if they have much to do with Rachmaninov鈥檚 popular Piano Concerto No.2. But in the hands of 成人快手 Symphony Orchestra Principal Guest Conductor Dalia Stasevska and pianist Alexander Gavrylyuk (鈥楧azzling鈥�: The Financial Times), they become part of a deeper, darker picture: an unfolding soundscape that embraces both the soaring romantic tragedy of Tchaikovsky鈥檚 Romeo and Juliet and the elemental sonorities of Icelandic composer Hildur Gu冒nad贸ttir 鈥� the extraordinary, Academy Award-winning musical imagination behind Joker and Chernobyl.
