from Oannes *

Ο αξιοσημείωτος συνθέτης & σολίτ της βιόλας Frank Bridge υπήρξε δάσκαλος και μέντορας του Benjamin Britten, ο οποίος είχε το έργο του σε μεγάλη εκτίμηση. Όπως και άλλων Βρετανών συνθετών, η μουσική του Bridge επανανακαλύφθηκε περί το τέλος του 20ου αιώνα, έχοντας μείνει ως επί το πλείστον έξω από τα μοντερνιστικά ρεύματα της εποχής της. Ακούμε το έργο του ‘Two Pieces’ για βιόλα και πιάνο.

✻

The significant composer & violist Frank Bridge was teacher and mentor to Benjamin Britten who had great esteem for his work. Like other British composers’, Bridge’s music was rediscovered around the end of the 20th century, having mostly stayed out of the modernist currents of its time. We hear his ‘Two Pieces’ for viola and piano.
