Maneein & Shostakovich: Dependent Arising

Violinist Rachel Barton Pine’s 26th recording for Cedille Records, Dependent Arising, reveals surprising confluences between classical and heavy metal music by pairing Shostakovich’s Violin Concerto No. 1 in A minor, Op. 77 with Earl Maneein’s Dependent Arising — Concerto for Violin and Orchestra, performed with the Royal Scottish National Orchestra under the baton of Tito Muñoz. The album explores connections between modern classical music and heavy metal and showcases Pine’s unique journey with these two seemingly disparate genres. (Cedille)
