“He surrendered neither the smoothness nor the dynamic fluidity that the modern piano allows, and he gave his sense of fantasy free rein, and creating an almost confessional spirit .” — The New York Times
Called the “Van Cliburn of today” by the BBC, pianist Alexander Kobrin has placed himself at the forefront of today’s performing musicians. His prize-winning performances have been praised for their brilliant technique, musicality, and emotional engagement with the audience. The New York Times has written that Mr. Kobrin was a “fastidious guide” to Schumann’s “otherworldly visions, pointing out hunters, flowers, haunted corners and friendly bowers, all captured in richly characterized vignettes.” “This was a performance that will be revered and remembered as a landmark of the regeneration of exceptional classical music in Central New York.” -a critic wrote after Mr. Kobrin’s performance of the Second Piano Concerto by Johannes Brahms with Syracuse Symphony in Syracuse, NY.

The Persistence of Mystery is NOVA’s 3rd album and contains six original compositions written by Christian Zatta and arranged by NOVA. The whole album is inspired by astronomical mysteries.

All pieces remind the listener to phenomena of which we are not sure, which we only partially understand or which are a paradox.

These astronomical phenomena represent very well what we have experienced in the last three years: all the certainties and expectations have been demolished and replaced by reality.

A reality that we still don’t fully understand, but we all have to deal with in the best possible way, always adapting to the situation and finding a solution.

If you love the music of the great American symphonists, get this disc. John Vincent’s Symphonic Poem After Descartes and Symphony in D are not only better than anything Hanson, Harris, and Piston ever turned out, they are as good as the best symphonic works of the middle years of the twentieth century, as good as the symphonies of Stravinsky, Hindemith, Walton, or Martinu. That his music is as tonal as Brahms’ matters far less than that it is strongly argued, profoundly expressive, extraordinarily brilliant, and completely compelling. Eugene Ormandy was compelled: he not only premiered the Symphony in D, he recorded it and then commissioned, premiered, and recorded the Symphonic Poem After Descartes. And apparently Ormandy compelled the Philadelphia Orchestra because the 1957 and 1959 recordings of the works are among the best they ever made together: virtuosic, voluptuous, and altogether virtuous. If you love the music of Victory at Sea, get this disc. Norman Dello Joio’s music for Air Power is just as bombastic, just as corny, just as patriotic, and just as instantly – some might say irritatingly – memorable. Albany’s remastering of Columbia’s original stereo recordings is at least as good as all but the very best digital recordings.
