AMR1050 Released in 2018 Available now from ArkivMusic, Amazon, and iTunes Auréole is widely considered to be one of the world’s most revered flute, viola, and harp trios. The trio has commissioned and premiered more works and released more albums for their instrumentation than any other similar trio in the world. Embracing The Wind is Auréole’s fifteenth album, and their debut recording on the AMR label. "The final work on the album, Thamar y Amnon by Ian Krouse, is a chamber tone poem based on one of Federico García Lorca’s Tres Romances Historicos (Three Historical Ballads) from Romancero Gitano (Gypsy Ballads). This work is embedded with deep, extra-musical meaning and has deep ties to Lorca’s paean to illicit eroticism. Krouse wrote, 'Not only the form and musical content are derived from the poem, but even the instrumentation itself. The nervous athleticism and complexity of the flute melodies embody Amnon’s tortured struggles with lust, while Tamar’s thinly veiled seductiveness is given a lyrical outlet through the potent vehicle of the viola. The role of the harp is significantly more complex…' "Embracing the Wind [AMR1050] was produced, recorded, and engineered by Grammy® winning producer Adam Abeshouse at The Concert Hall at Drew University, Madison, New Jersey." ~Aureole Trio Album Description
