Peter Hundert‘>The National’s Bryce Dessner has introduced a brand new classical music album: El Chan is out April 5 (through Deutsche Grammophon). The file consists of three Dessner-composed items: Concerto for Two Pianos, Haven, and El Chan. All three items are carried out, no less than partly, by pianists Katia and Marielle Labèque. The second piece, Haven, options the Labèque sisters on piano with Dessner and David Chalmin on guitar. It will premiere on April 7 on the Philharmonie de Paris. (That identical evening, the Labèque sisters may even debut a new Thom Yorke composition.)
Bryce Dessner organized the title composition, El Chan, for 2 pianos, carried out by the Labèque sisters. It’s devoted to director Alejandro Gonzalez Iñárritu and his spouse Maria Eladia Hagerman. (Dessner beforehand contributed to the rating for Iñárritu’s The Revenant.) It’s “inspired by the mythical guardian spirit, ‘El Chan,’ of a pool of water nestled in the canyons close to Iñarritu and Hagerman’s hometown of San Miguel de Allende,” based on a press launch.
On May 17, the National will launch their subsequent album I Am Easy to Find. Read Pitchfork’s Family Matters characteristic interview “The National Are a Band of Brothers—But Not Like Oasis.”
