MARI

Mari Samuelsen, one of today’s most innovative and imaginative violinist, considers her debut album on Deutsche Grammophon to be just one step in the direction that she will continue in for years to come. MARI explores the contradictions of contemporary life – the fact that, despite the excitement of city life and the convenience of instant communication and express travel, many of us still feel a need to ground ourselves in the peace and quiet of the natural world. The album draws listeners into soundworlds of Max Richter, Philip Glass, Brian Eno, Jóhann Jóhannsson, Peter Gregson, Vladimir Martynov, Pēteris Vasks and Johann Sebastian Bach.
