Friedrich Kiel enjoyed great prestige as a professor of composition in Berlin where his many students included Stanford and Paderewski. As a teacher he remained broadminded and undogmatic. These elegantly poised works show a rather conservative craftsman but one who absorbed the influences of the best of his contemporaries – Chopin, Mendelssohn, Schumann and Liszt. The Suite is Beethovenian in style, while his approach in the Six Fugues is largely lyrical. A digital EP of the Six Impromptus is available to stream and download (9.70385).

The guitar has established itself as a national instrument in Latin American countries. Its sonorities can be considered a miniature orchestra, but two guitars can generate an even greater range of possibilities. Each composer in this widely contrasting programme explores these qualities to the full, with elements such as the South American rhythms in Marlos Nobre’s Três Danças Brasileiras , and Guido Santórsola’s blending of Baroque form with a Romantic aesthetic in his Suite all’antica . The works by Ohlsen, Coloma Casaula and Novoa were all specially composed for the Orlandini & Luco Duo. Key features:

Tranquillo - Sacred Christmas REGER • ADAM • SCHUBERT • GUSTAVSSON PianoBasso Thomas Gustavsson , Piano • Andreas Gustafson, Double Bass
PianoBasso’s low-key and stripped-down arrangements of classical pieces has brought them international success with many listeners all over the world. This time they have chosen to go a little outside their established concept and instead record Christmas music consisting of Christmas carols and art music with a Christmas theme. The album is called Tranquillo – Sacred Christmas . Key features: PianoBasso is a duo that consists of pianist and arranger Thomas Gustavsson and double bassist Andreas Gustafson . On their previous albums, they perform well-known classical choral and orchestral works with their own arrangements and a personal expression, which means that they do not always follow the usual norms for this genre.
