About
"On this recording we have elected to offer a programme that is concurrent with our present times but we still want to promote the idea of 'musical stretching'. No baroque music (this still happens though in our duo recitals) but a chance to hear some of the exquisite music by the iconic Hungarian composer György Kurtág, who cites J.S. Bach as one of his favourite composers. Observe for instance Kurtág's 'Hommage ŕ J.S.B.' which is spiritually related to the Double of Bach's D minor Allemande BWV1004. We also have been privileged to receive a piece arranged by György Kurtág for our duo - 'Hommage ŕ Eberhard Feltz' based upon Samuel Beckett's poem 'Roundelay'. Lucas Niggli joined us to create colourful and original improvisations with an uncanny knack of playing the right sound at precisely the moment where the written music invited an intervention. So, in 'Celebration' and 'Rondo for Nine Birds' (inspired by a beautiful drawing by the English artist Fred Hellier) Lucas had full reign to improvise imaginative counterpoints. In 'Andeutende Dynamik' (my composition based on a triptych by the Hungarian artist András Wolsky) he plays with us on the through-composed score which included improvised moments inspired by the paintings.
"The recording duties were taken care of by Adrian Hart, a violinist himself who fully understood and participated in the structuring of the soundscape which supports the varied music that this album offers.
"We hope that this magical mystery tour continues to stretch the musical imagination."
