Description
Classical ARIA chart topping artists Vov Dylan (Violin) and Margaret Brandman (Pianist and composer) unite to bring an album all new Australian compositions to life.
At the core of the album is the new suite "La Vida Apasionada" for small ensemble which features 8 new Latin-American styled compositions written specifically for Vov Dylan and his orchestra. The album goes on to present works for Violin and Piano by Brandman where Brandman herself performs alongside Vov.
This is Vov Dylan's second classical release of new Australian music and is a follow on from "Kismet: Vignettes for Violin and Piano" from composer Elena Kats-Chernin. Vov Dylan is one of Australia's most prolific Violinists with performances across the globe. With a repertoire of classical to jazz world and contemporary this is Vov's 10th studio album release with Ambition.
Vov's journey with new Australian music has been about finding new and relatable melodies and bringing them to audiences globally. Each selection Vov has recorded is now also on recommended lists for students to learn and is part of a national music education workshop program.
