Emiko Classical - Part 1

Mikhail Glinka - The Lark - Evgeny Kissin

The definitive souvenir of Hunter Noack’s award-winning, ground-breaking wilderness concert series, IN A LANDSCAPE: Classical Music in the Wild™. This debut album features Noack performing select favorites from the classical piano canon as well as collaborations with Native American flutist James Edmund Greeley, psychedelic electronics by Dave Friedlander, a spacious concerto with the Salem Orchestra, and an arrangement of Franz Schubert’s most beautiful song with Pink Martini’s China Forbes and Thomas Lauderdale. Be transported to the secret glens and sunny meadows that inspired the composers and performers with this contemplative collection.

This is a special early release to Soundcloud fans - upcoming EP in December.

These are all voice memo living room renditions of one very flexible structured improvisational composition called "Commentary" which has appeared in various forms throughout our catalogue, as some may realise (along with  its cousins "Bop Science" and "Reprise"). I play this every day, as a physcial and mental exercise. It isn't easy to perform correctly but it is always fun. I'm lucky to have such a smart and musical wife ;-) 

The selections here went together nicely as a suite. I hope you find them enjoyably formal as well.

Produced by Kimara Sajn

02 - Robert Schumann - Piano Concerto In A Minor Op. 54 - II. Intermezzo

Auf dem Wasser zu singen of Franz Schubert performed on April 3, 2018 at NEC's Jordan Hall, Boston, MA. MaryAnn McCormick, mezzo-soprano and Kayo Iwama, pianist.

Singing upon the Water:
In the middle of the shimmering waves
Glides like swans, the swaying boat;
Oh, on the joy of gently shimmering waves
Floats the soul like the boat;
For from Heaven down onto the waves
Dances the sunset all around the boat.

Over the treetops of the western grove
The reddish gleam beckons, in a friendly way;
Under the branches of the eastern grove
Murmurs the reeds in the reddish light;
Joy of Heaven and the peace of the grove
Is breathed by the soul in the reddening light.

Alas, time vanishes for me on dewy wings,
In the cradle of the waves;
Tomorrow, time will vanish with shimmering wings
Again, as yesterday and today,
Until I, on loftier more glorious wing,
Myself vanish in the inconstancy of time.
