New MusicLaws of Solitude (Strauss: Four Last Songs)

Asmik releases her third album with Alpha: Laws of Solitude.

Asmik has recorded both versions of Richard Strauss's ultimate masterpiece, Four Last Songs: the version with orchestra and the more rarely performed version with piano. For her, this work is associated with the idea of solitude, but not an unhappy solitude, rather a journey towards infinity. Out now.
