Info for Duo Solo

Dieses Album beschreibt den Dialog zwischen der Gesangsstimme und der Stimme des Cellos, das seit jeher als dasjenige Instrument gilt, das der menschlichen Stimme am nächsten kommt. Das Album beschreibt auch die Begegnung zwischen der Kultur des Ostens und der Kultur des Westens. Stellvertretend für den Osten steht hier Armenien mit seiner 1000-jährigen Kultur, seiner Musik und seinen Liedern, die mit den Kompositionen von Bach, Kodály und Ligeti zusammenklingen. Für die Cellistin Astrig Siranossian sind die Gesangsmelodie und der Klang des Cellos zwei Stimmen, die sie in ihren Konzerten stets miteinander verbindet, indem sie einen Tanz aus einer Solo-Cellosuite von Bach mit einem armenischen Lied verbindet, das sie mit großer Sensibilität vorträgt. Die junge Cellistin teilt sich uns mit, offenbart ihre Wurzeln und ihre Gefühle. Diese Aufnahme ist, dem jeweiligen Repertoire entsprechend, auf zwei Celli entstanden: einem Instrument von Francesco Ruggieri aus dem Jahr 1676 und dem berühmten Giovanni Gagliano aus dem Jahr 1756, bekannt als "Sir John Barbirolli".
