“emotionally probing & musically luscious journey into the deep recesses of Slavic melancholy”
‘DUMKA’
Lada Valesova, pianist
(Avie)
The Dumka, a slow and moody ballad with a rustic central dance section, appealed to a number of composers including Dvorak, Liszt, Tchaikovsky and Martinu. Here, the pianist Lada Valesova offers an emotionally probing and musically luscious journey into the deep recesses of Slavic melancholy. (Corinna da Fonseca-Wollheim)
