PRAYER FOR PEACE

New release. Apartè music Nov. 1. 2024.

At the end of February 2022, Sergey Akhunov began composing an Adagio ‘Prayer for Peace’, echoing Samuel Barber's Adagio for strings. Built around the interplay of instrumental textures, the work was quickly completed and recorded by the OpensoundOrchestra, conducted by Stanislav Malyshev.
Three other compositions for solo choir revolve around this core, performed by the Intrada ensemble under the direction of Ekaterina Antonenko. These include the Concerto ‘Exegi monumentum’, based on Horace's ode and dedicated to the Armenian sculptor and painter Nikolai Nikogosyan, as well as Two Latin Psalms and Psalm 83.

Sergey Akhunov JAZZ

Review by Alain Steffen

The music is fantastic, compact, versatile, modern, full of emotions. Akhunov succeeds in reducing and compressing the music and its expressiveness to an essential, so that each note has an enormous importance and presence.

Sergey Akhunov SONGS & POEMS

13.01.2022 Klassik.com by Michaela Schabel​

'Songs & Poems' sounds gentle, suitable for the masses, without a precise assignment to a style and reveals fascinating worlds of sound​. 

24.10.2021 Deutschlandfunk. Die neue Platte by Jonas Zerweck ​

Sergey Akhunov "SONGS & POEMS"

Very atmospheric music, without any overt intellectual demands, cleverly designed for singing voices.
