About this product
One of the UK's finest chamber ensembles, the Navarra Quartet, presents a programme of music exploring those eternal human preoccupations Love and Death. Tolstoy's Kreutzer Sonata, inspired by Beethoven's work, in turn prompted Janácek to write his String Quartet No.1, a piece that reflects Tolstoy's story of passion and drama. Schubert's immortal 'Death and the Maiden' Quartet includes variations based on his song of the same name, in which the maiden attempts to delay Death's advances. In Chrysanthemums, Puccini evokes flowers at an Italian funeral, and Spanish composer Joaquín Turina wrote The Bullfighter's Prayer about a bullfighter's moment of contemplation before facing his audience, and his own mortality. These works are interspersed with gems by Kurtág, including a piece composed as a memorial for some of his dearest friends. The Navarra Quartet describes this programme as an Inchimaginary dialogueInch, and the unique, conversational rapport of these musicians draws the listener into their intricate musical world.

Love! Is all about love. About love in the period from the 17th century to the 21st, via Russia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Germany, to England and the United States. About passionate love, motherly love, forbidden love and love lost. There is a love dance and much more. But Love! Is also about us, about our love for music and the unique combination formed by our instruments. Because the orchestral possibilities and the specifically melancholy tone color of the accordion form a magnificent blend with the scintillating and sonorous sound of the violin. This is the second on Challenge Classics by the unique duo of accordionist Marieke Hopman and violinist Cecile Hujnen.

Isn't always love the same and yet constantly new? This could be the motto of the new GENUIN album by soprano Heidi Maria Taubert. Here she mixes passacaglias and chaconnes from the Baroque era with her own arrangements and compositions by Ercole Nisini, which take up the examples. The infinite variety of the variations on an ostinato bass fits in with the multifaceted poetical play about the joys and sorrows of love. The is a delightful journey of discovery featuring works by Monteverdi and Frescobaldi, by Purcell and Krieger highly valuable in terms of repertoire and exquisitely executed by Heidi Maria Taubert and the ensemble Instrumenta musica!
