Martin Klett has referred to his new project InchLamentoInch as both an Inchinsane project,Inch and a Inchmatter of the heart.Inch He writes InchInsanity and the heart fortunately go very well together. The project of doing Bach concertos with a chamber ensemble of solo strings had been going around in my head for almost a decade. And Bach, in a way, is the core of the programme on this album. His music often tends to be combined with other works with new music, or with Romantic music. Piazzolla's Four Seasons are often coupled with those of Vivaldi. Thus the idea of combining Baroque music with tango isn't new. But this specific repertoire is something quite different. Then we have my personal journey with tango my ensemble Cuarteto SolTango and my passion for dance. What grew out of all of this? a rather large-scale project with musicians from many different countries- and an intense week I will probably never forget.Inch

Evocations is the result of composer Felipe Téllez's intense work with the Canadian Studio Symphony. On this new album, you can hear forgotten instruments like the oboe d'amore, tackling bespoke repertoire to show off the instrument's full capacities and exotic tone, as well as works for string orchestra, a romanza for solo violin and orchestra, and more. The music is brought to life by the Canadian Studio Symphony, which was founded in 2022 with the mission of performing - and especially recording - new and engaging repertoire. The ensemble is led by conductor Lorenzo Guggenheim and is made up of the brightest players in Toronto, including Lynn Kuo as concertmaster and solo violinist, and Ron Cohen Mann on oboe d'amore.
