Artists are liminal figures — they cross thresholds and collapse boundaries between past, present, and future. In THE NEW EPOCH, three musicians from the Boston Artists Ensemble interpret works by French composers Fauré, Debussy, Ravel, and Lili Boulanger, infusing these pieces with unprecedented freshness and clarity. Each celebrated in their own right, cellist Jonathan Miller, violinist Lucia Lin, and pianist Diane Walsh join forces in every duo setting possible from this assortment of instruments. Exploring works written at the threshold of the First World War — with the world crossing into the violent twentieth century and composers reacting with music that looked both nostalgically back and innovatively forward — they underline the commonalities between each composer’s unique voice and reinterpret this music for our turbulent present.

Composed by an 18-year-old Bernstein during his studies at Harvard, the piece has been steadfastly shepherded from its re-discovery to this historic release by former Boston Symphony Orchestra Librarian John Perkel, and is performed here by Lucia Lin, Natalie Rose Kress, Danny Kim, and Ronald Feldman. “Movement I” and the newly-discovered “Movement II,” which was found within the U.S Library of Congress, are accompanied here by the seldom-recorded duo piece Elegies for Violin and Viola by composer Aaron Copland, a musical mentor, collaborator, and dear friend of Bernstein’s.

The name of Astor Piazzolla is synonymous with the word tango. A musical ambassador who carried the signature sounds of Argentina’s cafes and nightclubs to concert halls around the world, his instantly recognizable compositions (attractively arranged here for harp, violin and bandoneón) are infused with elements of jazz, fusion and even classical baroque.
Escualo (1979), which translates literally as ‘shark’, is renowned among Piazzolla’s output for its devilish violin part, combining virtuosic double-stopping techniques with complex rhythmic patterns and sudden metrical shifts that threaten to wrongfoot the listener. The ‘shark’ of the title is not the music itself, which certainly has a fearsome bite, but the animals Piazzolla wrestled with while shark-fishing in Punta del Este, Uruguay, during his summers there.
After 40 years with the Boston Symphony Orchestra, legendary principal harpist Ann Hobson Pilot retired at the end of the Tanglewood 2009 season, having joined the BSO in 1969 as assistant principal harp and principal with the Boston Pops.
Lucia Lin has recorded as a guest of the Boston Symphony Chamber Players; on a disc featuring the works of Bright Sheng; as a member of the Muir String Quartet; and as a member of the Boston Trio, of which she was a founding member.
Argentine musician-composer-arranger J. P. Jofre is hailed as the premier bandoneonista of our time, whose virtuosity astonishes critics as well as his growing legion of fans. His soulful, artful playing of the bandoneón has been praised by the New York Times.
