Konstantia Gourzi is a professor of new music at the University of Music and Performing Arts Munich. She’s a pianist, conductor and composer of great renown, having conducted numerous world premieres with her ensemble Attaca Berlin and symphony orchestras from all over the world. Her involvement in new music hasn’t prevented her from conducting the great repertoire. For example, she was the first woman to conduct Verdi’s La Traviata in her hometown at the Athens Opera house.
A lover of nature and botany, Konstantia Gourzi has written a series of pieces for her friends, violist Nils Mönkemeyer and pianist William Youn. Each piece on this album is a musical poem dedicated to nature, forming a coherent musical narrative. For Gourzi, music is a mechanism for activism, a space for reflecting on its beauty and its conservation.
It features inspiring titles such as: “Wind Whispers”, “One Night”, "Evening at the Window", “Call of the Bees”, “Messages Between Trees” and “Melodies of the Sea”. All of these create contemplative, poetic moments that seem to suspend time. Exhilarating chords, mystifying harmonics, perfectly composed piano and percussion (played by the composer herself) are the foundations of this incredible collection. Nils Mönkemeyer and William Youn have immersed themselves in a mysterious universe filled with varied timbres and an array of influences. © François Hudry/Qobuz
