Jorg Halubek - Suite & Concertos - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Introducing Il Gusto Barocco's latest album, a new approach to Baroque music. Each ensemble member is given a to showcase their talents as a soloist, choosing their own program and interpreting the selected works in a very special way. Director Jörg Halubek believes in the concept of Inchextended chamber music,Inch where players must always think and perform as soloists while still valuing the importance of ensemble playing. The members of Il Gusto Barocco all studied at the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, which has led to a shared aesthetic background. The ensemble's goal is to bring the music to life and not impose their own personal listening habits on the audience. Flautist Claire Genewein performs Johann Sebastian Bach's Flute Partita in A minor on the album, playing it without bass accompaniment, as Bach most likely intended. This recording offers a unique interpretation, especially regarding playing speeds, that sets it apart from others. Il Gusto Barocco's latest album is a must-listen for fans of Baroque music looking for a fresh take on the genre.

Daniel Sommer & Arve Henriksen & Johannes Lundberg - Sound & Sequences Danish drummer Daniel Sommer proudly presents the second installment of his critically acclaimed Nordic Trilogy. Danish drummer Daniel Sommer proudly presents the second installment of his critically acclaimed Nordic Trilogy, a project aiming to capture and document Nordic improvisation and composition across three carefully curated ensembles. Featuring Swedish bassist Johannes Lundberg and Norwegian trumpeter Arve Henriksen, 'Sounds & Sequences' is set to on April Records. A followup to 'As Time Passes' featuring Sommer alongside UK guitarist Rob Luft and Norwegian ECM bassist Arild Andersen, the project develops as Sommer says, Inchnot to try to make the same kind of music three times in a row, but rather to shed light on Nordic improvisation today from various angles and perspectives.Inch With a focus on vulnerability, intuition, and the dialogue between electronic and acoustic sounds, 'Sounds & Sequences' offers a striking contrast in aesthetic and mood to the previous record, tied together by a shared sense of refined musical literacy, poetic sensitivity and open-hearted exploration. Drawing inspiration from chamber music, spiritual jazz, and electronic and ambient music, the trio made several visits to Studio Epidemin in Gothenburg several times between March 2022 and December 2023, recording music with no set goals or briefs. Faced with a large volume of recordings, the group then set about compiling their free improvisations into a cohesive statement with form, narrative and direction. InchWe simply improvised, listened, discussed, and improvised again until something emerged.Inch With the interactive, spacious, and dynamic sound of live trio performances at it's core, bowed upright bass harmonics, Henriksen's lamenting trumpet melodies, and Sommer's grooving, textural approach to the kit

Much has been said about Johann Sebastian Bach's Brandenburg Concertos- and yet there is always more to be said. Il Gusto Barocco is a south German period performance think tank and it's take on the Brandenburg Concertos is a breath of fresh air, combining a nose for historical rarities with musical dare and ensemble sound with soloist flair. Featuring the rarely heard piccolo violin, the performance is play-conducted and spear-headed by Jörg Halubek, whose prior releases include Bach Organ Landscapes, which was extraordinarily well-received. Long term cooperation with the ensemble and Berlin Classics featuring Bach's works for different chamber ensembles.
