The Tasmanian Symphony Orchestra led by Johannes Fritzsch present the world premiere recordings of two concertos by Elena Kats-Chernin: Ancient Letters, inspired by 1700-year-old letters from the Silk Road, and her third piano concerto, Lebewohl, written expressly for acclaimed Australian pianist Tamara-Anna Cislowska. Kats-Chernin and Cislowska have worked together closely on many music projects and enjoy a rare level of mutual understanding. The album also features a new version of Kats-Chernin’s magical Eliza Aria, reimagined for piano solo and orchestra, along with three solo piano works celebrating the composer’s deep love of the music of Bach: Prelude Machine, Bach Study, and 1720.
