On her second KALEIDOS album, cellist Joanna Sachryn and her piano partner Paul Rivinius present two important representatives of New Music. With Krzysztof Meyer, one of the most important Polish composers of our time is at the center of this recording. Together with the selected works of his famous Russian colleague Dimitri Shostakovich, musical narratives emerge that captivate with their expressivity.These are impressive studies of inner images and states of mind, brought to the ear by Joanna Sachryn and Paul Rivinus with a great deal of playful refinement and a sophisticated sense of sound. Both composers represented here are captivating in their clear expressivity and sense of depicting human abysses, but differ greatly in their respective musical languages. For the Polish cellist Joanna Sachryn, the selected works are also about the personal relationship of her life to music: Thus, she writes about Meyer’s Cello Sonata: “I discovered in it the same states of mind that show my life – especially around the year of its composition, 1984 – in musical images.”

And on the music of Dimitri Shostakovich: “In this music I discovered for myself the reflection in relation to the certain ‘madness of everyday life’ behind the Iron Curtain, which shaped my youth. The chronicler of his time’ knew how to express the suffering and joy of his fellow men. Since for me playing the cello means ‘storytelling,’ I find especially in Shostakovich’s music many images and stories to lean on.”
