Description:

It is surprising that the tradition of solo and duo string musicwhich had been in decline in Germany and Austria since the Romantic eraflourished in places like Scandinavia and Norway, which lay outside the mainstream, as well as in Italy, a land considered barren for pure music. The quality of the pieces on this CD is so high that one can truly say this. Not only is the technical skill impressive, but the Romantic and Baroque-style melodic lines shine with a spacious, beautiful resonance that could only come from a composer who thoroughly understands the characteristics of string instruments. The first piece, the Sarabande, is simply exquisite.intoxicate (C) Ken Oba
