Born and raised in the northeastern Balkans—in the former Soviet Republic of Moldova, where Romanian is written in the Cyrillic alphabet—and having made her mark in the German-speaking world, she now presents a richly curated album woven from her diverse roots, with a focus on Eastern Europe. Centered on three equally compelling works—Bach’s *St. John Passion*, Martin’s *Polyphonic Altarpiece*, and Hartmann’s *Funeral Concerto*—this is an intense program exploring war, despair, death, and hope. It features a compelling collaboration with Camerata Bern, a time-honored ensemble of consummate musicians who continue to rejuvenate their artistry.\nThe highlight of the first half is Hartmann’s work—an ambitious composition written in 1939 by this Munich-born composer out of despair over Nazi Germany’s invasion of Czechoslovakia and Poland. Isn’t this precisely the kind of piece one would want to hear performed by Kopatchinskaja? The program is reportedly based on a live performance they gave by candlelight in a medieval church in Bern, and the liner notes mention that the inclusion of works by the Swiss composer Martin was a natural choice in light of this connection. The recitations in Hebrew, Polish, and Russian interspersed throughout—though each lasts only about 40 seconds—add a unique atmosphere to the presence of the recorded pieces. This is an album you’ll want to listen to from start to finish.\nNaxos Japan\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Alpha","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53525308997921,"sku":"4589538744328","price":2970.0,"currency_code":"JPY","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0568\/8482\/2076\/files\/4589538744328.jpg?v=1789730759","url":"https:\/\/cdsvinyljapan.com\/products\/4589538744328","provider":"CDs Vinyl Japan Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
