PANDOLFIS CONSORT
ADORATION
· Viviane Chassot has previously
released three solo albums, and now
releases her first duo production
alongside Martin Mallaun.
· This unique album contains rare
chamber music in new arrangements
for the special combination of
accordion and zither.
· Not only are these arrangements
original, but this program is varied
and exciting, containing Renaissance
pieces from John Dowland to the
modern avant-garde work of John
Cage.
· This new release from Trio Enescu
follows their acclaimed debut album
with GENUIN.
· Recently, the ensemble won First Prize
at the International Chamber Music
Competition Helexpo in Thessaloniki
and Prize of the Austrian Brahms
Society.
· This album features early piano trios
by their namesake, George Ensecu, as
well as Anton Arensky. Enescu's work
is especially intriguing, as it shows
how passionate music written by a
seventeen year old can be.
· In 2012 Saskia Coolen discovered in
the Historical Museum in Den Briel,
the head joint of an alto recorder.
She brought in a recorder expert who
cleaned and restored the joint. Soon
after, Coolen realized that there were
probably other playable recorders to
be found in private collections and
set out in search of rare, eighteenth-
century recorders.
· On this album, Saskia Coolen plays
these rediscovered recorders along
with gambist Rainer Zipperling and
harpsichordist Patrick Ayrton.
· From Claudio Monteverdi to Johann
Sebastian Bach, this release is an entire
century of Baroque music at a glance.
· There are many aspects that all of these
pieces have in common such as the basso
obstinate, the polyphonic weaving of
instruments, and the clear vocal parts,
but it is fascinating to hear all of the
developments through this period as it
pushes toward the classical era.
· Tenor Nicholas Spanos regularly works
with ensembles such as the Venice
Baroque Orchestra, Les Talens Lyriques, the
Camerata Stuttgart, and more. He is joined
by the Pandolfis Consort, whose repertoire
focuses on early Baroque but also includes
classical and modern works. Here, they
perform on period instruments to create an
authentic performance.
