Episode 64, Part 1 – Rachel Barton Pine and Earl Maneein
On this two-part episode of Classical Chicago, Cedille President Jim Ginsburg talks with violinist Rachel Barton Pine and composer Earl Maneein about their experiences recording Cedille’s latest release, Dependent Arising. The album reveals (and the podcast discusses) surprising confluences between classical and heavy metal music by pairing Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 with Earl Maneein’s “Dependent Arising” — Concerto for Violin and Orchestra (written specially for Rachel), all performed with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under the baton of Tito Muñoz. Part 1 centers on Shostakovich’s concerto while Part 2 covers Earl Maneein’s new work.
