Duo Gazzana - Korvits / Schumann / Grieg
 | Label: ECM Catalog: 4858117 Format: CD Duo GazzanaOnce again, Duo Gazzana juxtaposes contemporary music with works from the Romantic repertoire on their new album. Their interpretations of the Sonata in A minor, op. 105 by Robert Schumann and the Third Sonata in C minor, op. 45 by Edvard Grieg demonstrate a deep understanding of the composers' musical language and intentions. The modern part of the program features premiere recordings of the four-movement Stalker Suite and notturni by Estonian composer Tõnu Kõrvits - each piece was composed especially for Duo Gazzana. Stalker Suite is a tribute to film director Andrei Tarkovski and traces his work in a poetic and mysterious way. The recording took place in November 2021 in the historic Reitstadel Neumarkt. Reviews "...a passionate, sometimes undulating, foaming tone, making the lyrical moments all the more poetic in their contrasting effect." (FONO FORUM, January 2023)  Price: $25.98 |
