Monday at Last with overtone singing

In Monday at Last, violinist Cecilia Zilliacus and cellist Kati Raitinen invite guest artists to perform both newer and older music. The guests this time are Swedish pianist Peter Friis Johansson and South African violist, composer, and overtone singer Gareth Lubbe.We get to hear the incredible possibilities and resources of the voice in Lubbe's Miniatures, where he uses a special singing technique to create a whole range of resonant overtones. It's a completely unique sound world that conveys the feeling of something magical and primal.British-American composer Rebecca Clarke (1886–1979) was a highly skilled violist and a pioneer among female composers. Her Morpheus for viola and piano was first performed in 1918 at Carnegie Hall and was her first major success. After Schnittke's both wild and contemplative string trio, and Mozart's lively Duo, "Finally Monday" concludes with the rarely performed ecstatically charged piano quartet by Finnish composer Helvi Leiviskä in a late romantic style.
