RICHMOND, Calif., March 18, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Pianist-composer-conceptualist Yelena Eckemoff tries something a little bit different—but no less cerebral and audacious—with "Romance of the Moon," set for a May 10 release on her own L&H Production label. Always a multimedia thinker, Eckemoff has previously made albums that incorporate her visual art as well as stories, poems, and concepts from her own imagination. This time, she presents a suite of compositions inspired by the great Spanish poet Federico García Lorca, as interpreted by the formidable Italian ensemble that includes bassist Luca Bulgarelli, drummer Stefano Bagnoli, guitarist Riccardo Bertuzzi, and world-renowned trumpet icon Paolo Fresu.

Key Points: 
  • Always a multimedia thinker, Eckemoff has previously made albums that incorporate her visual art as well as stories, poems, and concepts from her own imagination.
  • I translated the Lorca texts into Italian so the musicians would know exactly what every composition is about.
  • That's not to say, however, that Eckemoff's pieces are any less tightly intertwined with the Lorca poems that inspired them.
  • Yelena Eckemoff was born in Moscow, where she started playing by ear and composing music when she was four.
