On 22 February, Kamerorkest van het Noorden (the string orchestra based in Groningen, The Netherlands) is releasing SATSARA an EP that features SATSARA by the Ukrainian/Dutch composer Maxim Shalygin alongside Shalygin's string orchestra arrangement of music from Schnittke's Choir Concerto. Shalygin's SATSARA is inspired by the writings of Argentine-French novelist Julio Cortázar (1914-1984) and his ingenious use of palindromes.

This First Book, presented here in its entirety alongside the sublime Estampes, plunges us into the heart of music capable of dictating its title to each piece... beneath the final double bar.Source: harmoniamundi.comClaude Debussy (1862-1918)♪ Préludes Book I, L.125 (1909-1910)i Danseuses de Delphes (Dancers of Delphi).
