Altogether, this album presents Bach’s music in a new, enticing light.Īlon Sariel is one of the most versatile performers of his generation, whose guiding principle is a changing perspective giving new life to existing material, as well as creating completely new works. Another objective has been to bring out the youthful elan of this music, composed years before Bach’s Passions. Sariel aims to realize the timeless and universal character of Bach’s music in a multifarious sound world of plucked instruments, through a programme that employs an interplay of light and dark, embodied by the first and second suites respectively. ![]() Bach’s suites are often considered to be “the cellist’s Bible”, but the transferability of his music between instruments – a practice to which the composer himself also contributed frequently – seems to justify this fresh approach.

Sinnbild is the second album as part of her exclusive collaboration with PENTATONE. Hanna-Elisabeth Müller is among the most celebrated lyrical sopranos of our times. Amidst this melancholia, Strauss’s lush, glorious orchestral writing and his exceptional understanding of the soprano voice offer profound solace to the listener. Culminating in the famous Four Last Songs, the programme explores all forms of farewell – the big and the small – that we go through as human beings. On her second PENTATONE album Sinnbild, soprano Hanna-Elisabeth Müller presents an enchanting collection of orchestral songs by Richard Strauss, together with the WDR Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Christoph Eschenbach.

These writings share a universal appeal, a focus on what it means to be human. For this cycle, Lang has chosen five texts from the Old Testament tied to Jewish holidays.
