Seven Romances on Poems by Alexander Blok for Soprano and Piano Trio Op. 127

A composer of the First Viennese School who wrote his most advanced works for Russian noblemen. A Polish Jew who fled from the Nazis to Minsk and then on to Tashkent. A Soviet composer hailed by the authorities and caught between assimilation and resistance. These and four other composers of different generations, all of whom found new homelands after enduring different kinds of odysseys, are featured in this unusual song recital—soprano Katharina Konradi and the Trio Gaspard explore the thème russe that can be traced in artist biographies from Ludwig van Beethoven to Lera Auerbach.
