Synopsis
Product Description
Yarlung Records star pianist David Fung joins American 'cellist Elinor Frey in her debut recording featuring some of our favorite composers from Asia, America and Europe. For more information about Elinor Frey and David Fung, see yarlungrecords.com.
Elinor plays a 1962 Mario Gadda Italian cello from Mantua. She uses a baroque bow (made by Louis Bégin in Montreal) for Bach's cello suite and for Amour et Biauté Parfaite. Elinor commissioned her modern bow, which she uses for all other tracks on this album, from Charles Espey of Port Townsend Washington.
David Fung plays New York Steinway Concert & Artists piano number 430, a hybrid of sorts. It was made in New York, and has that characteristic New York linearity of tone, control, and size. But it has the Hamburg Steinway lacquer finish, which may contribute to that extra sparkle in the tone, especially in the treble. Additionally, this piano has a lighter action than traditional New York Steinways, which makes it more like the German pianos. It was Colburn School's John Perry who persuaded friends at Steinway & Sons in New York to allow Colburn School to buy this particular instrument. Thank you Maestro Perry, and thank you Steinway!
In the age of compressed digital downloads, it is refreshing to hear real sound and real music again, reminiscent of RCA Living Stereo in its golden age, or Mercury Records at its height. Yarlung's sound is liquid and transparent, just as if you were sitting in the concert halls with superb acoustics, where these recordings are made.
