This setting of Austrian Expressionist writer Georg Trakl’s poems by composer and conductor Fabrice Bollon is the first ever composition for classical singers and solo electric cello. As a result the work’s striking sonorities open unexpected and fascinating new directions for contemporary music. Evocative imagery and colorful writing for electric cello can also be heard in The Secret Garden of the Cordania– a work dedicated to Bollon’s cellist wife.
