Various Artists - Beyond the Horizon - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Spirit connects far beyond cultural and religious boundaries. That is why here SINGER PUR seeks to link the spirit from different world religions, regions and cultures. May the spirit-filled music inspire and move you and waft you through the exotic and the familiar. The SINGER PUR discography consists of more than 25 albums, several of which have received awards two of them InchLe Choc de l'AnnéeInch by the French music magazine InchLe Monde de la MusiqueInch and three more the ECHO Klassik Award in 2005, 2007 and 2011. Founded in 1991, the sextet is made up of former members of the Regensburger Domspatzen. Initially the group focused on jazz repertoire, but since 1994 the ensemble's focus has shifted to early and romantic music. The ensemble, however, has proven that they have no stylistic limitations, and their programmes include anything performable by voices.

The aim of this recording is not just to be a musicological curiosity, but to arouse the audience's awareness of pieces and composers who have not yet been recorded, or are played less frequently; to inspire my colleagues to practice and master the special techniques in these works, and to show the way for interpretations of the works of Hungarian and Transylvanian composers, an interpretation which as well as the traditions of the Hungarian string school, draws only from clear mountain springsInch through personal relationships.Inch (Ildikó Szabó) Acclaimed for her musical intellect and imagination coupled with technical virtuosity, Ildiko´ Szabo´ is a laureate of the Pablo Casals International Cello Competition where she was the winner of the 2nd Prize, the Audience Award, and 7 Special Prizes.
