Violinist and violist Christine Wu, winner of the CD Recording Prize with Outhere Music at the inaugural Berlin Prize for Young Artists, explores the relationship between time and memory on her new album "Recollection(s)" for Channel Classics Records. On violin, she performs Saariaho's Nocturne, in which memories attempt to break through the boundlessness of time; Bach's Chaconne, whose recurring harmonic structure evokes a sense of awe, hope, and transcendence; and Jeffrey Mumford's "eight musings … revisiting memories," a reinterpretation of musical fragments from earlier works. On viola, Wu presents Joan Tower's "Wild Purple" and Weinberg's Sonata for Viola No. 2 Op. 123, in which recurring rhythmic cells explore the fragmented nature of remembrance as a theme; as well as Stravinsky's Elegy, which makes the logical progression of memory processes audible.
