The Lyrical Bassoon (2L-097-SACD)

The Lyrical Bassoon

This recording features some of the most notable works in the repertoire for bassoon and piano, here played by Per Hannisdal (Principal Bassoon, Oslo Philharmonic Orchestra) and pianist Vebjørn Anvik (Grieg Trio), two of Norway's finest musicians. Most of the pieces were composed in the first half of the 20th century, which was a fruitful time for music for wind instruments, especially in France where the Paris Conservatoire commissioned works (pièces de concours) to be used in examinations. These were often works of high quality and they constitute a significant addition to the repertoire. Two of them, Dutilleux's Sarabande et Cortège and Tansman's Sonatine, are represented in this album, which also features music composed by Hindemith, Saint-Saëns, Elgar, Koechlin and Kvandal.

Trace of Impressions (2L-098-SACD)

Trace of Impressions

The accelerating globalisation that took place from the mid-19th century had a profound impact on cultural and artistic developments in Europe, and exposure to the art and music from distant parts of the world was, for many, something of a shock and provided a major source of inspiration. In painting, for example, French artists sought new motifs and styles, and Impressionism emerged. It was not long before composers followed their example, and for them the philosophical and artistic world of the Far East was an especially dynamic influence. The music of Debussy and Ravel is a prime example of this, and shows the arts following new paths while, at the same time, forging fresh ones for others to follow.

Our friends at Light Harmonic has launched a Kickstarter campaign to create a new USB DAC and headphone amp that plays DXD and DSD. Based on their merits with the extreme Da Vinci DAC, there's a good chance we'll experience great performance in a small package at an affordable price. You can back their project right now, effectively pre-ordering Geek (that's what they call it) for $159. Also, if you back GEEK now, they will include true HiRes music from 2L in the end of that campaign.
