Diverse / Twionlins - Secret Places [CD]

Secret Places is a hypnotic journey to the core of your soul, a musical picture book that lures the listener to the very depths of his or her powers of imagination. The works sketch unique contours with what seem like melodic brush strokes- each bar a step into unknown territory. Pulsating, fragile, poignant, wild too, dancing and full of joie de vivre. All of the compositions are recorded here for the first time in this form and all but "Hammers" by Nils Frahm were written for the Crossover Composition Award 2015. The Twiolins draw big audiences to concert halls worldwide as pioneers of the new "Progressive Classical Music" movement, whose trademark is unique repertoire for two violins- tonally sophisticated, employing outstanding harmonics and singularly dramatic effects.
