Info zu Songs and Poems

Neue alte Klänge: Der russische Komponist Sergey Akhunov wurde am Kiewer Staatskonservatorium ausgebildet, bevor er seine Karriere als Oboist begann. Er sammelte Erfahrungen in verschiedenen Musikstilen und -genres (einschl. elektronischer Musik und Rock). Diese Aufnahme bietet Vokalmusik aus seiner Feder, darunter das Stück Songs, das er als Auftragswerk für La Voce Strumentale schrieb. Dmitry Sinkovsky als Spiritus rector der Aufnahme ‒ er ist zugleich Sänger (Countertenor) und Dirigent ‒ gelingt es auf beeindruckende Weise, tonale zeitgenössische Musik mit dem spezifischen Klang eines Alte-Musik-Ensembles zu verbinden. Unterstützt wird er dabei u. a. von der fabelhaften Sopranistin Julia Lezhneva.

La Voce Strumentale
In 2011 Dmitry Sinkovsky founded in Moscow the ensemble on period instruments La Voce Strumentale, gathering together musicians mostly winners of international competitions. Along the years, those musicians forged a unique language based on a deep knowledge and awareness of the numerous and subtly ever-changing historical musical styles, boundless energy, and impeccable technique, establishing a reputation for possessing a colorful, sharp and charismatic sound.

The ensemble is regular partner of Julia Lezhneva and is often joined by special guests as Kristina Mkhitaryan, Julia Mazurova, Luca Pianca, Simone Vallerotonda, Margret Köll.

La Voce Strumentale performs regularly at the most prestigious venues in Moscow, including Bolshoi Theatre, Zaryadye Hall, Great Hall of the Moscow State Conservatory, Tretyakov Gallery, Aptekarsky Ogorod.

A versatile performer, Dmitry has enjoyed an ongoing collaboration with actors Elizaveta Boyarskaya and Anatoly Bely, appearing as singer, violinist, and actor in 1926, a breathtaking production based on the lives of esteemed poets Boris Pasternak, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Rainer Maria Rilke. Under the stage direction of Alla Damsker, they have been touring this production to Russian-speaking countries since 2018.

Dmitry is thrilled to have begun a new collaboration with the label Glossa. The first recording, Beethoven's Violin and Triple concerts with Alexei Lyubimov, Alexander Rudin and the Moscow Chamber Orchestra Musica Viva, was released in September 2020 and has been nominated for an ICMA award. 2020 has also seen the release of another ICMA nominated album, The Discovery of Passion with Dorothee Oberlinger (Deutsche Harmonia Mundi). In October 2021 Glossa will release Songs & Poems, a new album with La Voce Strumentale performing contemporary music of the Russian composer Sergey Akhunov on Baroque instruments.
