“Four Strings Around the World” by Romanian-born violinist Irina Muresanu is a program celebrating the diversity of cultures refracted through the unifying voice of solo violin. The album is organized into two sections – “Music from Western and Eastern Europe” and “Music from the Middle East, South and North America.” The recording includes two world premiere recordings: Vák by Indian-born Shirish Korde and Oshta by Chickasaw Nation composer Jerod Impichchaachaaha’ Tate (commissioned especially for this project and dedicated to Irina Muresanu).
