about

For this CD, Ketevan Sharumashvili chose piano transcriptions partly because she likes the transformative process behind them. Before you can listen to these compositions many transformations have occurred. Composers, influenced by their emotions, transformed their ideas into compositions which they wrote down on paper. The transcribers of these compositions have added another layer of ideas and emotions. A performer and the recording of it again transforms the music. Finally in the listener the soundwaves are transformed into an emotional experience. The music on this cd is connected through times like a string of pearls from Bach and Rachmaninoff to Gershwin who, in turn, inspired Wild and Volodos. Most pieces are related to the theme of love in its many forms. Love, a force both profound and mysterious, finds its most poignant articulation through melodies and lyrics. Auf dem Wasser zu singen by Schubert and Where beauty dwells by Rachmaninoff are about spiritual connections of our souls with nature, God and the universe. Schubert’s Ständchen and Gershwin’s Embraceable you are about romantic love between two people just as Liszt evoked the love between Lohengrin and Elsa as composed by Wagner. In April in Paris by Trenet the coming of spring brings love in the air.
