Mari Samuelsen’s third album for Deutsche Grammophon is inspired by her experience of becoming a mother. Known for her imaginative programming and penchant for electronics and looping, the Norwegian violinist presents music by Olivia Belli, Bryce Dessner, Ludovico Einaudi, Nils Frahm, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Mário Laginha, Hania Rani, Max Richter, and Steve Reich, with a dash of Schubert also thrown into the mix. Belli’s Sapias was written specifically for this program and received its world premiere with the RTÉ Concert Orchestra at the National Concert Hall in Dublin in August.
