Esther Abrami Women – Esther Abrami CD

‘Women’ by celebrated violinist and social media sensation Esther Abrami showcases the exceptional talent of 14 remarkable composers across history and a range of genres, spanning newly composed works and rediscovered masterpieces. The album features Oscar winners Rachel Portman and Anne Dudley, as well as new arrangements of compositions by historic composers such as Pauline Viardot, Chiquinha Gonzaga, Teresa Carreo or Ethel Smyth. ‘Women’ also includes ‘Transmission’,an original composition by Esther Abrami, who has arranged several pieces on the album. At its heart is the world-premiere recording of Ina Boyle’s ‘Violin Concerto’, a breathtaking, late-romantic composition. ‘Women’ brings together an extraordinary lineup of collaborators, including the Vienna Radio Symphony Orchestra under the baton of conductor Irene Delgado-Jimnez, pianist Kim Barbier, harpist Lavinia Meijer, and the Esther Abrami Quintet.
