IN YOUR MIND
The strings pursue on urging an impulse rythmally complex but in reality it flowers in a song that is expressive and ariose.While the second violin outstands for it’s complexity with rhythmic and repeatable scales, a marked and energetic counterpoint reminds us of a race without a stop towards a destination that remains unknown!Like the title declares, everything is in our minds and in the execution of this piece every member of the quartet has her own imagination to follow and rich!
LOOKING FOR ANOTHER SUN
In our opinion this piece is the most amazing and pleasing of the record!
The strings that distinctly imitate a tango, accompany a voice that in a captive tone invites you towards this dance.The text on the other hand, brings a deep message of social criticism, that declaring by sweet almost inspired notes, that the body has become more important than the soul. The high accent of the strings and short internal “Glissando” understate the sensuality of the rhythm that remains irresistible.
SWEET DREAMS
The synthetic sounds of the base substituted by the deep and scratchy sound of the bows sostains the famous melody that we all know. The principal theme is almost circular, in fact, it is a piece that could go on forever leaving us suspended in this roundabout of the bass melody that with the violoncello and the viola, sounds more gothic than the original. We like to imagine that we have also dedicated our art to the dance hall!
INFINITY
This piece of music has, like a wave, the characteristic of repeating itself bringing with it the movement of the strings.At first the theme is expressed with clarity and then it is swept up by the 4 instruments and taken to a wholeness that involves us.
The Pizzicato is a further reconfirmation of how varied a theme can be if expressed by these instruments.We loved the challenge to find and always change a different taste to this thematic recurrence.
Quartetto Sharareh is a female string quartet that was born in 2007, thanks to a friendship between four young musicians who brilliantly graduated at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory in Rome. The original name of the ensemble means “fire dance” in Persian, as if describing the energetic nature of these musicians.The Quartet performs concerts and entertains audiences across a variety of occasions, taking part to important shows, events and festivals.On May 29th, 2015 and January 5th, 2016, the Quartet appeared for the first time on the stage of Teatro Olimpico in Rome, in the shows “Across the Beatles” and “Sgt. Pepper’s Show”. The ensemble played in the most important Italian theatres, such as the Sala Santa Cecilia at Parco della Musica in Rome, the Teatro Augusteo in Naples and the Teatro degli Arcimboldi in Milan, performing concerts of rock, ethnic and classical music. Since 2021 the Sharareh Quartet is a regular guest of the Italian Candlelight concerts season.
