Die Musik von Deborah Drattell ist von lebhaften Farben und neoromantischer Lebhaftigkeit geprägt. Allgegenwärtige Melancholie und eine weiche Klangfülle gehen in "Sorrow is not Melancholy" eine Koexistenz mit melodiöser Sanftheit ein, während Drattell in ihrem Klarinettenkonzert, wo aufgeladene Tanzrhythmen pulsieren, ganz andere Töne anschlägt. In "Lilith" und "The Fire Within" hingegen, haben beide Einflüsse aus dem mittleren Osten, und in "Syzygy" lotet sie die Natur und all ihre elementaren Kräfte aus.

Product Information

The music of Deborah Drattell is saturated in vivid colour and neo-Romantic vitality, and this selection reflects both its warmth and also its dynamism. In Sorrow is not Melancholy gentleness co-exists with pervasive melancholy and tenser sonorities, whereas the Clarinet Concerto is a very different work, embracing dance patterns that pulsate with excitement. Both Lilith and The Fire Within share Middle Eastern influences. The first is a sensual, sinuous evocation of ‘the female demon’ whilst the latter is imbued with drones, drums and tambourine, all exotically spiced. Syzygy brilliantly explores nature in all its elemental power.
