American-Armenian composer Alan Hovhaness was a significant representative of 20th-century music a composer who sought a path independent to the fashions and trends of his time. He avoided the European avant-garde, instead embracing Armenian and oriental traditions as well as Medieval and Renaissance music. This second volume includes the sonic atmospheres of Hermes Stella, dedicated to the poet-philosopher-mystic Francis Bacon, and the complex and fascinating Piano Sonata Journey to Arcturus which takes us to one of the most visible stars from Earth. MusicWeb International considered Alessandra Pompili a splendid young exponent of Hovhaness music in Volume 1 of this edition (CDS7701).
