Violinist Alena Baeva: 'We need to escape to our imaginary worlds'

arts24 © FRANCE 24

Violinist Alena Baeva is Russian, Luxembourgish Polish and Ukrainian. With her Ukrainian husband, the pianist Vadym Kholodenko, she has just released a new album entitled "Fantasy", which revisits dream-tinted music by Franz Schubert, Igor Stravinsky, Robert Schumann and Olivier Messiaen. The duo are currently touring the record and the award-winning soloist stopped by arts24 to tell us more about it. We also take a look at other new collaborative albums including Ye (Kanye West) and Ty Dolla Sign's "Vultures 1", as well as Liam Gallagher and John Squire's eponymous first album.
