Louis Spohr's life-long artistic commitment to elegance, sturdy workmanship and emotional reticence has burdened him with a reputation as a nostalgic conservative. Yet his melodic mastery, delicately poised Classical sensibility and advanced treatment of harmony, are evident in the highly enjoyable music on this disc. Glittering solo passages and congenial interplay between the soloists characterise both the Concertanti, which pay tribute to the Baroque concerto grosso and look forward to the music of Berlioz, Tchaikovsky and Mahler, and the Duo, with its lively dialogues between equal partners.
Press comments
N. Hornig in FonoForum 08 / 10: "Es macht Spaß, den beiden
exzellenten norwegischen Solisten zuzuhören, besonders
wenn sie in den glitzernd virtuosen Passagen in einen
geigerischen Wettstreit treten. Wer eine Kostprobe Spohr
nehmen möchte, kann hier beginnen."
Herkömmliche CD, die mit allen CD-Playern und Computerlaufwerken, aber auch mit den meisten SACD- oder Multiplayern abspielbar ist.
