This week's New Music Friday takes you from a Viennese stage to the heart of winter. 🎶
🎭 Don Giovanni, K. 527, Act I: Aria "Madamina, il catalogo è questo"
Brilliant, theatrical, and provocative. Giacomo Nanni brings Leporello to vivid life with the Orchestra da Camera Canova, his full rolling voice drawing you straight into Mozart's opera. First single from a complete recording of the Prague version.
🎻 The Gadfly, Op. 97: Prelude
Two cellos carry the melody like a bittersweet song of remembrance. Mikael Samsonov and Arseny Kotlyarevsky lead Metamorphose String Orchestra through Shostakovich's Prelude in a new arrangement by Pavel Lyubomudrov, a smile on your lips and an ache in your chest.
⚡ Impulsion
Sudden bursts of energy, small sparks that push the music forward without warning. Uladzimir Mironchyk builds each impulse into the next, the piece constructing itself moment by moment, almost by instinct.
❄️ Vivaldi: The Four Seasons - Winter
Relentless, immersive, and ice-cold. Elli Choi and Orquesta Reino de Aragón dedicate an EP entirely to Winter, Choi's bow conjuring whipping winds while the orchestra builds a sonic blanket of cold around you.
