Deceptively smooth and silky, Hypnotized entrances with its quiet and melodic musical lines. Five short movements describe a journey of meditation (1. Entrance, 2. Elysian) and rapture (3. Float Out, 4. Together), before returning to an enlightened reality (5. Awaken). Schocker has dedicated Hypnotized to the inestimable talents of Yolanda Kondonassis and Jason Vieaux, and we are fortunate to be able to hear their performance on YouTube (courtesy Naxos).
