One of the world’s premiere concert violinists, Anne Akiko Meyers has been celebrated throughout her nearly three-decade career for her exceptional musicianship, charismatic presence and creative diversity. On this new release, Meyers is joined by longtime collaborator Japanese-American Reiko Uchida on piano and the young harpist of the Paris Opera, Emmanuel Ceysson.
The album begins with Debussy’s “Clair de Lune,” along with an arrangement of Wagner’s “Traume (Dreams)” and Beethoven’s Sonata No. 5 for Violin and Piano, before moving to the ‘seasons’ of the title: spring (the traditional Japanese folksong “Sakura,” intriguingly arranged by composer/guitarist/rapper Gene Pritsker), summer (“Summertime”), autumn (Vernon Duke’s “Autumn in New York” and Joseph Kosmo’s “Tenderly/Autumn Leaves”) and winter (Alfred Schnittke’s disturbing take on “Silent Night”). Familiar works by Debussy and Faure round it out.
A recital album, played with her usual intelligence and beautiful singing tone, brings together a collection of varied works.
