Carlo Alessandro LANDINI (1954)
Two More Steps Towards Uncertainty (2007) for symphonic orchestra

Coming to Life. Generation, Transition, Interlocking of Phases (2006 - rev. 2009) for 7 performers
Limen (2010) for 16 string instruments

From the liner notes by Ettore Napoli: “This Cd contains works written by Carlo Alessandro Landini (1954) for orchestra and is being released seven years after the previous one published by Tactus (TC951201), a Cd which already included some of the most interesting pages of contemporary Italian music, among the few capable of standing up to the quality of coeval international production. In fact, it is not by chance that this Milanese composer ends up being more appreciated abroad than he is in Italy, as validated - citing in random order - by the “Fulbright Award” granted by the United States Department of Education in 1981 and the numerous prizes he was later on awarded: among many others, the Warsaw’s “K. Serocki” (2002 and again 2004) Competition, the renowned “W. Lutosławski” Prize (2008) and the Saint Petersburg’s “S. Prokof ’ev” International Contest (2012). In November 2013 Landini represented Italy as the sole Italian participant in the World New Music Days held in Vienna and Bratislava by the ISCM. A complementary aspect of Landini’s internationalism is exemplified by his teaching in some of the most prestigious American Universities (University of California at San Diego, New York State University at Buffalo, Eastman School of Music, Columbia University in New York, University of Maryland) as well as throughout Europe, including the Musikhochschule in Trossingen (Germany) and Hamu in Prague (Czech Republic). The four works presented in this Cd verify the widely reaching cultural breeze spread by Landini’s music [...]”

Musicke & Mirth: Music for Two Lyra Viols

Musicke & Mirth: Music for Two Lyra Viols
ID: RK9906
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Baroque

Musicke & Mirth (»Musik und fröhlicher Schalk«) wurde 1997 von Jane Achtman und Irene Klein in Basel gegründet. Der Titel eines Stückes von Tobias Hume inspirierte das Ensemble, und die spannende Musik für zwei (und mehr) Gamben zu erforschen, ist sein erklärtes Ziel. Es widmet sich hauptsächlich der Wiederentdeckung unbekannteren Repertoires. Von ersten Notendrucken aus Nürnberg um 1440 über die englische Lyra-Viol-Musik des 17. Jahrhunderts bis hin zum galanten, »empfindsamen« Stil der Berliner Schule spannt sich der Bogen der verschieden besetzten Programme. Musicke&Mirth spielt dabei immer auf originalgetreuen Instrumenten und nach originalen Quellen. Mit seiner auf diese Weise geschulten Wahrnehmung, zugleich mit Virtuosität und Zusammenspiel auf höchstem Niveau, erschafft das Ensemble erfrischende und packende Darbietungen der »Alten« Musik und entzückt das Publikum und internationale Juroren. Auf mehreren Wettbewerben war das Gambenduo erfolgreich: 1997 gewann Musicke&Mirth den dritten Preis beim Dorian/EMA Recording Competition (USA), den zweiten Preis 1998 im Ensemblewettbewerb Premio Bonporti in Rovereto (Italien), und ebenso den zweiten Preis 2000 im Van Wassenaer Concours in Den Haag (Niederlande). Seit seiner Gründung konzertierte Musicke&Mirth mit seinen vielfältigen Programmen in Deutschland, Italien, der Schweiz und Tschechien und erhielt Einladungen zu internationalen Fernsehauftritten. 1999 nahm das Ensemble seine erste CD auf: »Musicke & Mirth, Music for Two Lyra Viols« ­ Englische Musik des 17. Jahrhunderts (erschienen bei Raumklang). Ein neues CD-Projekt ­ Deutsche Tenorlieder und Instrumentalmusik der Renaissance ­ ist in Arbeit. »Geh, Philostrat, Berufe die junge Welt Athens zu Lustbarkeiten! Erweck' den raschen leichten Geist der Lust!« William Shakespeare, »A Midsummer Night's Dream«

L.van Beethoven Flute Sonatas - Raymond Honing

L.van Beethoven Flute Sonatas - Raymond Honing
ID: ACDBN092-2
CDs: 1
Type: CD
Collection: Chamber Music
Subcollection: Piano and Flute



The Franco-Dutch flutist and conductor Louis Drouet (1792-1873) was one of the great soloists of his day. Born in Amsterdam, he began his career at the court of Louis Bonaparte, then king of Holland. The King was so impressed with the 15-year-old flutist that he presented him with a crystal flute by the famous Parisian maker Claude Laurent, a flute which today belongs to the permanent collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam. Drouet was later appointed to the court of Napoleon in Paris. Drouet quickly developed an international solo career, performing in much of Europe and even in the United States. With his friend, Felix Mendelssohn-Bartholdy, he made concert tours to London and Paris in 1828 and 1829.

The rich depth of Beethoven‘s music is truly a gift for life, since, just as with the sonatas of Bach, there is always something new left to discover. Each interaction with Beethoven‘s music reveals a new part of his musical imagination.

As it should. Never a dull moment with Beethoven!

Composer Paulus Folkertsma plays an important role in the musical history of Fryslân (province of the Netherlands). He was born on January 15, 1901 in Wommels. Five years later, the family moved to Berlikum, where young Paulus got his first violin lessons from master Groenewold, the local teacher. When at age 14 Paulus went to the Maastricht College of Education for teachers, music became ever more important to him. This is where he wrote his first compositions. After temporary appointments in Leeuwarden and Sondel, he became a school teacher at the public primary school in Aldeboarn, where he worked for over 40 years. In 1956 he married Viennese Helga Khek; they had four children. Paulus Folkertsma passed away on May 4, 1972 in Aldeboarn.

Dudok Kwartet
Prize-winning Amsterdam-based string quartet, the Dudok Kwartet, make their recording debut here with an enthralling and eclectic programme of works by Joseph Haydn, György Ligeti and Johannes Brahms. Recipients of the prestigious 2014 Kersjes Prize for an exceptional Dutch chamber ensemble the quartet have a rapidly growing reputation as one of the most promising young European strings quartets.

Exploring the theme of metamorphoses in the music of the three composers represented here, these exquisite performances feature music from the entire spectrum of the quartet repertoire, from fresh interpretations of Haydn's C major quartet from his Op. 54 to the technical limits explored in Ligeti's first string quartet, Métamorphoses nocturnes, and the quartet's own effective arrangements of Brahms piano intermezzi.

Chamber Domaine & Thomas Kemp (conductor & violin)
Acclaimed ensemble Chamber Domaine with their director Thomas Kemp return to the Resonus label with an exciting programme of early works by Benjamin Britten, including four significant world premieres.

Entitled Journey to Aldeburgh, Chamber Domaine explores works written while Britten was a student at London's Royal College of Music culminating with the Suite for Violin and Pianoforte, Op. 6 and Britten's arrangement for the first Aldeburgh Festival of There is a Willow Grows Aslant a Brook composed by his teacher Frank Bridge, and heard on disc here for the first time. Further world premieres include the substantial Introduction and Allegro for piano trio, The Moon for violin and piano and Allegro for solo piano.

Britten's Opus 1, the Sinfonietta - heard here in its rarely-played original version - completes the programme, offering a glimpse into the lesser-known early, and often English pastoral, output of this celebrated composer.
