I’m hoping that on Wednesday this weekend I’ll have a full review up for a wonderful, gorgeous CD of new music for viola. The disc is published by ECM New Series, and is entitled Neharót, and it features that miraculous violist Kim Kashkashian playing music of Betty Olivero, Tigran Mansurian, and Eitan Steinberg. What I’ve listened to so far is utterly beautiful and profoundly moving. I’ll give it a hearty “buy” rating for now, and elaborate in the full review, due shortly.
