From the GRAMMY®-nominated album ASPIRE. Official music video of Villa-Lobos: Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5: I. Aria (Cantilena) performed by clarinetist Seunghee Lee with the cellists of the London Symphony Orchestra.
🕊At times, music can mirror our feelings and reflect complicated emotions that are difficult to put into words. This hauntingly powerful music by Villa-Lobos has been etched into my heart ever since I lost my father to tragic gun violence on the South Side of Chicago earlier in my youth. Over the years, while trying to make sense of it all, one of the ways to sooth a mountain of mixed emotions inside was through music, and this piece in particular often brought me comfort and solace.
With everything that’s going on around the world, my hope is that this music offers some peace and self-healing to those grieving in silence.
Immense gratitude to the incredible cellists of the London Symphony Orchestra and David Cohen for a truly moving performance. 🕊 -Seunghee Lee
"Bachianas Brasileiras No. 5 is perhaps Villa-Lobos’s most famous piece, arranged here by Seunghee Lee for clarinet solo and cellos. Lee plumbs the lyrical plangency of the piece with considerable eloquence. She leads the piece sans conductor, creating a chamber music atmosphere, with an ear towards balancing the various countermelodies to create a web of sound around the clarinet. The collaborative nature of the project extended to the string sections’ leaders, in particular principal cellist David Cohen, who contributed a glistening solo and stalwart guidance to his colleagues in the cello section." - an excerpt from the album program notes by Christian Carey
