Είμαι μεγάλος φαν του Danny Elfman από την πρώτη στιγμή που τον είχα δει με τους Oingo Boingo στην ταινία Urgh A Music War του 1982 [ εδώ ] – πολύ πριν ξεκινήσει την εκτυφλωτική καριέρα του ως κινηματογραφικός συνθέτης.
Ακούγοντας για την προ διετίας κυκλοφορία άλμπουμ του με κλασικά έργα ήμουν σίγουρος ότι θα επρόκειτο για κάτι ξεχωριστό. Το αποτέλεσμα ξεπέρασε τις προσδοκίες μου.
Ακούμε το αριστουργηματικό πρώτο μέρος, Grave. Animato, απ΄ το κονσέρτο του για βιολί και ορχήστρα “Eleven Eleven”.
Σολίστ η Sandy Cameron.
Την Royal Scottish National Orchestra διευθύνει ο John Mauceri.

I’ve been a big Danny Elfman fan since I saw him with Oingo Boingo in the 1982 film Urgh A Music War [ here ]– long before he began his dazzling career as a film composer.
Learning about his release of an album of classical works I was sure it would be something special. The result exceeded my expectations.
We hear the absolutely amazing first part, Grave. Animato, from his violin concerto “Eleven Eleven”.
Sandy Cameron is the soloist.
The Royal Scottish National Orchestra is conducted by John Mauceri.
