Albeniz / Debussy / Granados / Fischer - Lamour Sorcier - Music CD

For their third recording for label Stradivarius, the duo Singer & Fischer have chosen to devote themselves to four Hispanic-flavored works. With little original repertoire despite the opuses that various composers have written for them in recent years, transcriptions, arrangements, and other adaptations are usual in the ensemble's work. However, not all works are easy to adapt, and the choice of pieces from among the 'possibilities' is often a difficult one. The transcriptions on this recording are the result of a process of reflection that goes back to the duo's genesis. Their first attempts at de Falla or Granados took place in the 90s, a time when the youthfulness of the performers certainly contributed to the enthusiasm essential to any musical interpretation, but when a lack of experience was a brake on any idea of immortalizing their concert attempts. Since then, the Singer & Fischer duo have taken the time to mature, and this latest recording is the result of over thirty years of playing together. Whether in terms of sound timbre, phrasing or balance, the ensemble has achieved a musical union made possible by it's longevity, proof that despite all the acceleration and frenzy in today's world, some goals take time.
