Kaja Draksler Octet – Out for Stars
Clean Feed Records CF534CD
Kaja Draksler has produced another magisterial work for her Octet, based on the poetry of Robert Frost.
From Clean Feed:
…With the previous “Gledalec”, Slovenian pianist and composer Kaja Draksler found a gem to work on, and here is the continuation of that labour, now having the poetry of Robert Frost as both inspiration and feedstock, in the voices of Laura Polence and Björk Níelsdóttir. The ambiances of the music are pastoral, respecting the poems taken from “West Running Brook”, “A Witness Tree” and “In the Clearing”.
