Description
Vov Dylan & Clemens Leske | Kismet: Vignettes for Violin and Piano CD. A stunning collaboration blending violin and piano for a captivating musical journey.
This collection of over 10 new works, world premieres and associated performances was born from COVID inactivity, where Violinist Vov Dylan and Composer Elena Kats-Chernin found time to grow from musical friends to musical collaborators and in the process delving into the vast array of music that Elena has composed.
Renowned Australian Pianist Clemens Leske joined the project and together with Vov and Elena, a program of delightful, personal, playful and extremely musical vignettes was curated.
During the 2021 lockdowns, Vov, Clem and numerous other guest performers were able to record these works.
They have been recorded in extreme high definition and will be the first collection of works by an Australian Composer to be released in this format.
