Inside Out

Works by Johann Sebastian Bach and John Cage

Diamanda La Berge Dramm, Violin
Michelle O’Rourke, Soprano
Katinka Fogh Vindelev, Soprano

The young violinist Diamanda La Berge Dramm ventures to bridge music of the baroque with modern. In her GENUIN debut album, the Dutch artist interweaves the music of Johann Sebastian Bach and John Cage. In her collaboration with singers Michelle O'Rourke and Katinka Fogh Vindelev, the boundaries between singing and instrumental playing dissolve, and the production of sound itself becomes a highly exciting parameter. From the layers of depth in Bach's great Chaconne to the cobweb-thin tapestry of John Cage's genre-bending compositions, the violinist takes us on an exciting sonic journey that reveals her to be an artist who is as mature as she is inquisitive.


Het Parool
"On her album Inside Out she links Bach to John Cage and that works like yin and yang. (...) La Berge Dramm possesses the unique talent of giving the music an enchanting, timeless ritual character."

"Dramm's intimate meditation breathes something inescapable, her sober playing nestles deep within you, as do the voices of O'Rourke and Fogh Vindelev who seem to be talking to the violin like ghosts. Music that purifies the soul."
