"As a brand ambassador and partner, Esther Abrami has helped to build and grow some of the world's leading brands across a variety of industry sectors," the artist's website states. "From luxury fashion to music streaming, luxury perfumes and cosmetics to technology start-ups." Abrami's social media gives further insight, with glamorous photos taken in situations that are, of course, anything but spontaneous. Is this classical music for the social media age? That remains to be seen, but the early sales figures are good; Abrami has turned up on best-seller lists. What about the music? Although the playing itself is not yet remarkable, the gauzy surface of the music has been well retouched, and Abrami sets a mood that is likely to be quite appealing for crossover listeners. Her program has works of several types. There are a few repertory violin-and-piano pieces played straight by Clara Schumann and Amy Beach. There are contemporary crossover works by various composers and little bits from film soundtracks, including, charmingly, The Aristocats. Also included is a composition by Abrami herself, Sainte Victoire en Sol mineur, for violin, orchestra & programming. The largest group consists of arrangements of familiar classical compositions. The titles of these take the form of, for example, Mozart Variation, and they are not simply arrangements for violin and piano (or orchestra) but smoothed-out treatments in which the melody takes on the flavor of something atmospheric. These versions are all made by different arrangers, suggesting that someone put a good deal of thought into the sound. The booklet lists editors and mixers but no producer, so perhaps it was Abrami herself. Beyond all the pretty pictures of the star, this is a novel crossover release.
