Various Artists - Rarities of Piano Music 6 / Various - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

The trio sixty1strings is indeed a unique ensemble! On their GENUIN album Ambarabà, the three young musicians Ekaterina Solovey (mandolin), Negin Habibi, and Konstanze Kuß, explore a whole cosmos of sound that ranges from baroque structures to folkloristic and impressionistic spheres. The program includes the only original work for the instrumentation by Hans-Werner Henze and transcriptions of Debussy, Ginastera, Rodrigo, and Micheev. The works, however, receive no new attire; instead, they allow let their original garments to shine in an entirely new and special way. The album thereby pays homage to the beauty of the three instruments, which we rediscover in an excitingly evocative manner. Album Tracks 1. Carnival of the Animals~Aquarium 2.

The organ played an important part in the changing musical climate of 19th century Sweden. Despite this, it's repertoire of the time has remained largely forgotten. In this , several premiere recordings are presented, which still represent only a fraction of the rich repertoire of the 19th and very early 20th centuries. We also touch upon many examples of the parallel development of organ construction and repertoire in Sweden. The recordings document five historic organs, in original or restored condition, and music that has been relatively unknown is brought to the forefront. For instance, several important but rarely represented female composers have finally been recorded. Album Tracks 1. Gustaf Adolf & Ebba Brahe~Ouvertyr 2. Tempo giusto 3. Utgångsstycke 4.
