Violinist Alexi Kenney releases the World Premiere recording of Paul Wiancko's seven-movement X Suite for Solo Violin, commissioned by and written for Alexi and premiered at Wigmore Hall in London in 2019.
Filmed by Mike Grittani at the Donum Estate in Sonoma, California, X Suite: Visual Album pairs each of the seven movements of X Suite with seven different contemporary sculptures by Doug Aitken, Louise Bourgeois, Gao Weigang, Subodh Gupta, Jeppe Hein, Richard Hudson, and Jaume Plensa, in a sublime celebration of music and visual art.
“The decision to pair X Suite with the seven sublime sculptures featured in the video was one rooted in my belief in the synergy between sculpture and composition. Each movement was consciously and carefully paired with a different artwork, many of which enjoy deep visual and energetic connections, both between the pieces of art, and between the art and music. The multifaceted and complex X Suite coexists beautifully amongst these great works of art.” - Alexi Kenney
