Bienvenue et merci pour votre intérêt !
Après avoir participé à une poignée de disques comme chambriste, voici venu enfin le moment où je peux graver mon propre album en soliste - littéralement, car il s'agit bien d’un répertoire exclusivement pour violon seul. Chacune des cinq œuvres tient une place particulière dans ma vie, aussi bien personnellement que musicalement.
Avec cette musique, je vous propose un voyage sillonnant un siècle - d’une Sonate de Paul Hindemith (né en 1895) à celle d'Orlando Bass, un compositeur franco-britannique né en 1994. Nous traversons les paysages sonores de Pierre Boulez - que j'ai eu la chance exceptionnelle de rencontrer à l'âge de 8 ans - Wolfgang Rihm - un maître avec lequel j'ai eu l'occasion de travailler sa musique - et Matthias Pintscher - un compositeur et chef d'orchestre avec lequel j'ai passé de magnifiques moments sur scène, avec une œuvre inspirée par un célèbre tableau de Cy Twombly.
Bien que je sois la seule interprète, la dualité est un fil connecteur entre ces oeuvres - chacun des cinq compositeurs représentés sur ce disque trouve une manière d’exprimer les qualités paradoxales et complémentaires propres à l’idiome du violon : la polyphonie et la monodie, la virtuosité échevelée tempérée par le lyricisme, le mélodique qui contient en lui-même l’harmonique et vice-versa…
Ces dualités me nourrissent en tant qu'interprète.
Violin Soliloquy, ou un Soliloque pour violon, est le nom que je donne à ce disque, à ce voyage solitaire entre la thébaïde et la cohue. Certes, je joue seule, mais cette musique invite au dialogue avec l’instrument, avec la partition musicale, un monologue se métamorphose rapidement en conversation, et au-delà, en un colloque que je vous invite à découvrir.
Parlons plus concrètement maintenant :
Quel label ?
Paladino Media, situé à Vienne, publiera mon disque en copie physique et sur toutes les plateformes de streaming (Spotify, Apple Music, Naxos Classical, entre autres). Paladino Media gère le label Orlando Records, consacré aux programmes “récital”, dont le mien !
J’ai déjà eu le plaisir d'enregistrer pour Paladino Media, avec leur label Kairos, spécialisé dans les monographies de compositeurs modernes et contemporains, le plus souvent pour ensemble mixte.
Quand ?
Avec votre soutien, le disque sortira en septembre 2021 !
Où ?
Je suis très reconnaissante de l’exceptionnel soutien apporté par le Studio des Momidjis à Orbec, en Normandie - nous aurons libre accès au studio le temps de l’enregistrement du disque (les trois premiers jours d’avril 2021). Un concert (probablement en “live-stream”, selon les conditions sanitaires) y sera donné à la fin de la session d’enregistrement.
L’equipe :
Je suis très heureuse de pouvoir travailler avec l'ingénieur du son, Christophe Germanique, qui assurera la prise de son et la préparation du Master.
Orlando Bass, lui-même un des compositeurs du disque, sera présent en qualité de directeur artistique. Sa présence et son écoute seront très précieuses pour guider le déroulement des trois jours d’enregistrement.

[ English ]
Violin Soliloquy is my first solo disc, and I am overjoyed to soon be able to share it with you! It is slated for release by Paladino Media as a physical copy and on all major streaming platforms this coming September. I'm especially grateful to Paladino for their support as I have already had the pleasure of recording for one of their sub-labels, Kairos, as part of the Ukho Ensemble Kyiv. I am also indebted to Studio des Momidjis for giving me free reign over their studios for the recording, and to the living composers on this disc who agreed to entrust me with the recording of their music: Wolfgang Rihm, Matthias Pintscher, and Orlando Bass.
Inspiration and themes
The subject of duality in artistic expression is one I have always been drawn to, and this is featured in my program choices for Violin Soliloquy. With this disc, I aim to showcase the solo violin's natural propensity for duality in expression. You will hear both the melodic and polyphonic capabilities of the instrument, its lyrical and yet virtuosic natures, and how each composer plays with this in their own way. More importantly, you will hear a solo violin, yet one that also falls into musical dialogue with itself - sometimes solitary and reflective, sometimes bursting into the energy of multiple voices despite remaining a single instrument...
This is violin music hailing from across 100 years of writing, yet apart from giving it markers via dates, this is music that's arguably uncategorizable in style: each piece is its own language and has its own inner world. One could look at the dates of the composers and say it is 20th century, but that would be misleading by suggesting a stereotype...
Besides that, through this music you'll hear a violinist - that is, myself, offering what I hope is a journey of expressive musical discovery for you through works that you may have heard of before, alongside other gems less-often played - and one that is in fact a first commercial recording.

The Recording
I will be going into the studio on April 1st for three and a half days of recording, culminating in a streamed concert given live from the studio. Studio des Momidjis is a gorgeous hall designed by the architect and pianist Dominique du Merle, located deep in the French Normandy countryside.

Letter to the Listener
As a musician, I’ve asked myself over the years what a dream solo CD might sound like – what would be the 70 minutes of music that I feel I absolutely have to get out to your ears?
The one rule I made with myself is that it has to be music where I feel I have something truly unique to say to you with my specific way of playing. It also became important to me to include music you might have heard before, alongside works that have not yet had a commercial recording - new musical stories to discover!
And so after piecing this all together, it is with great excitement that I would like to take you on a listening journey through 100 years of solo violin music, spanning five generations of composers, all of whom have had a personal and musical impact on my own path as a performer. They hail from a variety of cultures and backgrounds, not unlike myself – my family emigrated to Israel from the ex-Soviet Union, and then eventually to the US, where I was born. My own musical journey took me from the heart of Midwestern America eastwards to New York, and eventually to Paris, France, where I am now based.
One of the things I find most wonderful about the world of music is that often it gives you the chance to travel, discover different musical practices and exchange with communities of people you may not otherwise have been so easily connected with. Luckily, the violin is a relatively light and easy travel companion, and you can take it out to play almost anywhere! This freedom of mobility is precious, not only in the sense of instrumental versatility, but as proof that each one of us as humans – musicians or not – have our own potential for individual, unaccompanied, personal expression. By choosing to have my debut CD feature entirely solo violin works, I hope to engage each of you in a musical experience that feels more one-on-one, and inspire you to hear the music in your own unique way.
I am incredibly grateful for your support for my first solo disc and cannot wait to share this music with you!
Musically,
Rachel
