Esther Abrami/ Various - Esther Abrami

Violinist Esther Abrami's eponymous Sony Classical debut album is a creative melting pot of different styles of classical music - full of new and inspiring compositions. Collaborating with a great variety of contemporary composers and musicians as well as the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra, Esther Abrami has set a creative and inspiring musical landmark representing a new generation of classical musicians. British composer and pianist Alexis Ffrench, Dutch neo-classical pianist Annelie, French pianist and composer Alban Claudin, Oscar-winning British composer Rachel Portman, British Cellist and composer Julian Llyod Webber and American film-composer Jacob Shea all contributed new compositions to Esther Abrami. Next to this, the album features original compositions by Clara Schumann and Amy Beach as well as several unique new arrangements of some of the most famous classical melodies by Pjotr Tchaikovsky, Eric Satie or Frédéric Chopin. Composer and pianist Florian Christl has written a new arrangement based on Bach's famous violin concerto and producer and composer Wide Eyed created an atmospheric new variation over Mozart's legendary "Eine kleine Nachtmusik". A special highlight on the album is "Sainte Victoire en sol mineur" - a great orchestral composition Esther wrote together with French producer Worakls. "I've decided to perform different styles to connect with all my audience. People who get to know me via TikTok aren't the same as those who found me on YouTube or on the radio. I wanted to link all of them together. I don't think we should just be put in a box with only one music style. In classical music, musicians have a tendency to fade behind the music, but with this album people can discover who I really am as I've satisfied all my musical tastes and been able to be myself" says Esther.
