“A force to be reckoned with” (The New York Times), violinist Miclen LaiPang makes his solo recording debut on Delos with a very personal recital. Featuring music that has accompanied him over time, Deep River traces a path through styles and places that have been meaningful throughout his life. Like a flowing river, this program moves from its source through different landscapes, crosses borders, and opens onto new encounters as it continues forward. It mirrors a life shaped by movement between countries, cultures, and musical worlds. Works such as Deep River and Nobody knows de trouble I’ve seen bring echoes of home, representing Miclen’s childhood and the United States, while Widmung, Liebesleid and Der Rosenkavalier Waltzes are associated with his time in Germany and Austria, and Ravel’s Violin Sonata No. 2 with his current home in France. Partnered by pianist Nigel Yandell, Miclen performs on the Antonio Stradivari “Charles Castleman, ex-Marquis de Champeaux,” generously loaned by the Queen Elisabeth Music Chapel.
