KALEIDOSCOPE: Music from a Thousand Years from Elmira Darvarova, violin and Howard Wall, horn

Like gazing into a kaleidoscope, this double-CD album brings a treasure-trove of musical miniatures tracing the sweeping panorama and historic perspective of 10 centuries.

This charismatic retrospective is a fascinating collection, brimming with world-premiere recordings (50 out of 51 tracks) and presenting a stunning variety of compositions – some original, some arranged by the performing artists – violinist Elmira Darvarova (first and to date still only ever, woman- concertmaster of the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra) and hornist Howard Wall (a former long-time member of two of the world’s greatest orchestras – the New York Philharmonic,and the Philadelphia Orchestra).

The meticulous album notes cover the multi-dimensional, serendipitous and cross- pollinating nature of essential events and legacies, which endure and continue to fascinate and transport us.
