Teddy Pendergrass

Description:

He moved from Albania in the Balkans to France at a young age, and has continued to build a rigorous career with such overwhelming skill that he released an unabridged live recording of Paganini's "Caprices" (AECD0985). Teddy Papavlami is a gifted musician who has continued to build a hard-edged career. He is a master of the new age with a wide range of perspectives, and his autobiography was translated into Japanese in 2016 ("Fugue over a Solo Violin," translated by Yukiko Yamauchi, Fujiwara Shoten). The new recording is a more period-approach interpretation, with a thoroughly restrained use of vibrato and a rethinking of the form of the sound. The new recording, however, is a more period-approach interpretation with a thoroughly restrained vibrato and a rethinking of the sound form. The performance is surprisingly painstaking and natural, without any tendency toward philosophical rigidity, and is so fulfilling that you will want to listen to it over and over again. The commentary by Jacques Drillon, a journalist active in literary criticism and music criticism, is another aspect of this recording by a literate musician. Naxos Japan
