Lev Zhurbin (aka Ljova) is a rising star at the forefront of diverse musical cultures. Working at the crossroads between chamber music, jazz, and gypsy folk, the Russian-born violist’s willingness to cross musical aisles has seen him collaborating with everyone from Yo-Yo Ma and the Kronos Quartet to rapper Jay-Z. WORLD ON FOUR STRINGS--aside from a pop cover and an adaptation of a Romanian folk song--consists of Zhurbin’s own original compositions for solo viola. Using studio multitracking to layer contrasting melodic lines and lush chordal figures with zippy pizzicato rhythms, Zhurbin displays a knack for combining traditional folk and blues modes of an ear-perking timbral variety. Opening with the plaintive tones of “Central Park in the Dark,” a lone, mournful string rings achingly into the void, slowly and meticulously wresting lyrical filigree through sheer force of will. A more avant-chamber-music tack is taken on Ljova’s interpretation of Bjork’s “Army of Me.” Combining haunting, glass-like glissandi against Zhurbin’s robust solos, its radical deconstruction of both instrument and song beautifully illuminates a heretofore unexplored use of the viola.
