Sleeve Notes
The Mefkure orchestral work is the second classical release composed by the British Artist Bernard Oglesby. The work forms part of a trilogy of orchestral pieces focused around the extraordinary poems of the Romanian poet O. Nimigean. The Mefkure Orchestral work explores the "The Night Sea Journey" as a parallel to a kind of "descensus ad inferos" (Harrowing of Hell). It features Ayer Ontak and Mihai Neculai on violin and cello and Bernard Oglesby on piano and percussion. The work comprises of 5 movements that chart the embarkation on August 5, 1944 of the Turkish motor-schooner Mefkure as it set sail from the Romanian port of Constanta bound for Istanbul and Palestine.
