Description:

Young Composers Conducted by Pter Etvs, Anu Tali, and OthersA two-disc set featuring recent works for ensemble by young composers born around 1980, conducted by Pter Etvs, Anu Tali, and others. The album title, Myth, Ethnicity, Identity, likely refers to the diverse ethnic backgrounds and origins of the featured composers. Hendrich is from Poland; Schenk and Bonin are from Slovenia; Varga is from Hungary; Petersons, Petraskevich, and Jenitis are from Latvia; and Charoupka is from the Czech Republic. A key highlight is how each composer expresses their respective ethnic, political, and historical backgrounds through contemporary musical techniques. As always, Ensemble Moderns vivid and precise performance is a delight to listen to.Tobu Land System
