Giorgi Gigashvili and the Chaos Quartet in Chopin and Haydn

Geneva Lewis plays Valentin Silvestrov’s Violin Sonata “Post scriptum” which he describes as “a postscript to Mozart and the whole classical tradition... The text has already been written. We simply add our annotations, thoughts, questions, consternation, astonishment and regret." And, after Haydn from the Chaos Quartet and Chopin from Giorgi Gigashvili, there are two tracks from Radio 3's current New Generation, Emma Rawicz. Cloudwalker, she says, "imagines a dreamlike journey, in an alternate reality where one can walk on clouds while watching the earth below," whilst Cowboys and Aliens was the result of "stumbling across a particularly 'wonky' feeling groove that turned out to be in the unusual time signature of 23/8. It also somehow reminded me of horses galloping, and the combination of that and the bizarre lilt of the piece led me to its whimsical title."
