TranceClassical

Description

Maya Beiser, the “reigning queen of the avant-garde cello”
(The Washington Post), presents this new release, TranceClassical. A very
personal project, Maya says of this album, “TranceClassical started from a
washed-out still photo in my mind- me, as a little girl curled with a blanket
on my parents’ sofa, hearing Bach for the first time, hanging on to every
mysterious note coming out of the scratchy LP… the pieces I bring here give
me a sense of trance- a reverie and meditation on his place in my heart.” A
varied program, the album opens with Maya’s interpretation of Bach’s Air on G,
in which she channels the sound of an old vinyl record, spinning on some far-
off turntable. Especially notable are Maya’s arrangements of Imogene Heap’s
Hide and Seek and Hildegard von Bingen’s O Virtus Sapientiae. “With virtuoso
chops, rock-star charisma, and an appetite for pushing her instrument to the
edge of avant-garde adventurousness, Maya Beiser is the post-modern diva of
the cello.” (The Boston Globe) Review “Beiser plays with time and memory. She
turns the clock back to her childhood – to the days of snuggling with a
blanket on the sofa, hearing Bach’s music for the first time off a scratchy
old LP.” –Tom Huizenga, NPR Music, June 23, 2016
