from Newbury, MA
Winstin
Taliban Dances:Concerto
for Violin & Orchestra
This collection of works
by the American
composer Robert Ian
Winstin shows two
interesting and
contrasting periods of
the composer’s work.
Featuring piano works
from the 1980s played by
the composer, Three
Pieces for Piano and
Piano Attacks are
angular, knotty pieces of
piano music with intense
emotion. They are, in a
sense, a younger
composer’s works: full of
brash brio and brimming
with the urge to reinvent
form and make one’s
mark. They are also
playful and intriguing,
alluding to other
composers and forms
while surging forward.
There is a sense of
probing and questioning
about the music. The
remaining pieces are
performed under the
baton of the composer
conducting the Kiev
Philharmonic. A broader,
lusher romanticism has
entered Winstin’s work,
more melodic, at times
lyrical, almost nostalgic
and reflective. Normandy,
June 6, 1944 for Trumpet
and Orchestra sets the
right tone for the event
which it memorializes
and is beautifully
presented by soloist and
orchestra. Le Voyage
Dans La Lune, which
quotes Berlioz among
others, is inventive and
fascinating. But the
centerpiece of the album
is the Taliban Dances
featuring soloist Galyna
Hornostai on solo violin.
Hornostoi gives a tour de
force performance of this
interesting piece of
music reflecting Winstin’s
musical commentary on a
present day state of
affairs. And like the
conflict to which it refers,
there is a range of
emotion and music
displayed, complicated,
sometimes contradictory,
complex but always
gripping. There is a lot
for the listener to digest
and enjoy, but without a
doubt what carries the
piece is the exquisite
play of Hornostai. There
is much to appreciate
and admire in this
collection of work by
Winstin.
