Voilà!
Violeta Dinescu’s cime lointaine (distant summits) is a piece that I encountered at the beginning of the 90’s, and which I found to be exquisitely sensitive. In a most refined and natural way, it utilizes timbral nuances that are very poetic. With oscillating key-trills, bisbigliandi and expressive multiphonics, one is transported into a delicate, exciting and extraordinarily diverse world of sound.
Two years ago I had the pleasure of meeting Violeta personally in Oldenburg where we had a concert with Studio Musikfabrik.
