Schubert / Schumann / Rubenacker / Duringer - Minnemord Meuchelei - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

It is the year 1966, in the Soviet Union. While Shostakovich is enjoying the success of the world première of his Second Cello Concerto, the Georgian composer Sulkhan Tsintsadze is putting the finishing touches on his own new work. In their respective concertos, these two composers draw their own psychogram a sombre landscape intermittently illuminated by rays of light, brightened up with a few prudent dabs of color here and there. German shooting star cellist Maximilian Hornung releases here his first album on the myrios classics tag. Born 1986 in Augsburg, Hornung studied with David Geringas, Thomas Grossenbacher and Eldar Issakadze, to whom he dedicated the album. It was Issakadze who introduced him to the fascinating music of Sulkhan Tsintsadze, one of the most celebrated composers of Georgia. The musical link of Tsintsadze's Second Cello Concerto to the late work of his Soviet colleague and contemporary, Dmitri Shostakovich is at the core of this gloomy, yet enchanting album. The Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin under the baton of the Latvian conductor Andris Poga provides perfect musical partnership. Album Tracks 1. Cello Concerto No. 2 Sulkhan 2. 1.

Virtuoso clavier music from the German lands is presented by the young Swiss artist Tizian Naef on his debut album. With his self-made copy of a historical instrument quasi grown together, Tizian has recorded virtuoso music by Dietrich Buxtehude, Georg Böhm and Georg Muffat. All of these works are clavier music that points the way to Johann Sebastian Bach. This is an album that convinces not only with deeply felt music but also with the InchroundedInch, singing sound of the harpsichord.
