Yelena Eckemoff, Paolo Fresu, Riccardo Bertuzzi, Luca Bulgarelli, Stefano Bagnoli - Romance Of The Moon (CD)

plastic tray of digipack cracked, but hold disc fine

Suite of 13 compositions based on poems by Federico Garcia Lorca. 28 pages booklet contains session photos and text of 13 poems translated from Spanish to English.

Romance Of The Moon is both a novelty for Yelena Eckemoff and a very personal mix of programmatic compositions influenced by European classical music and the expressive interplay of jazz. The Sardinian trumpeter Paolo Fresu interprets Yelena Eckemoff's deeply moving instrumental settings for 13 poems by Lorca, the condemned Spanish writer. She also painted the wondrous landscapes, one of a moonlit Spanish city on a shimmering bay and another of the sunny coast of Granada. For Yelena Eckemoff, a pianist with a consummate touch and a wide harmonic palette, the album is an expression of her enduring love for Lorca's verses. In the booklet she provides her own English translation of each poem.
