Winkler&Winkler: BURNS

Winkler&Winkler: BURNS

Tenor Andreas Winkler and guitarist Michael Winkler have been making music together for over ten years. From the beginning, the two classically trained musicians have been inspired by Irish and Scottish folk music. In the past years of their collaboration, the artists have already produced two albums with numerous cover versions of the best-known songs and ballads from the British Isles. Their very own readings and interpretations have always taken centre stage. The new and fresh approach to these tradition-rich songs has been widely praised by the trade press and has won the duo a loyal following. Now it was time to go a step further and enrich the Celtic oeuvre with their own compositions.
The inspiring texts and poems of the Scottish national poet Robert Burns were at the centre of the musical considerations from the very beginning. Stylistically, the newly composed works are oriented towards the Scottish music of the second half of the 19th century. The period in which Robert Burns lived. It was important to the musicians to take this music as a basis and to translate it into today's time. The songs sing of difficult times in the life of the erratic poet prince, who had to leave his beloved homeland. Lost loves, lifelong friendships and the wonderful Scottish landscapes are repeatedly the focus of the trenchant and accomplished lyrics of this Scottish legend. Two poems with the content of Freemasonry do justice to the intense lodge life of Robert Burns and round off the comprehensive view of his life and work.

Murat Cevik & David Sautter - The Wonderful World of Nino Rota

Murat Cevik & David Sautter - The Wonderful World of Nino Rota

The Wonderful World of Nino Rota  eos 234200-17

Murat Cevik, Flutes und David Sautter, Guitar

The Wonderful World of Nino Rota

Cinema enthusiasts all over the world will have no difficulty recalling some of the wonderfully circus-like melodies of Federico Fellini's films. The suggestive power of this music is irresistible, and made its composer Nino Rota (1911-1979) an instant classic.
But Rota not only left his mark on the soundtrack of over one hundred and fifty films, he also left behind a multitude of other pieces: Operas, symphonies, concertos for orchestra and various solo instruments, and chamber music - all of the highest quality. A never-ending wealth of ideas and deep emotionality can be regarded as the common denominator in Rota's highly individual work.
The many Rota interpretations and arrangements are joined by a very special line-up in this recording. The musicians David Sautter (arrangements, guitar) and Murat Cevik (flute) have put together 23 little-known pieces and "gutter hits". Rota's compositions appear to only have been waiting for the congenial performance of these two instrumentalists: the feather-light, sparkling, sometimes darker playing of Murat's flute, and David's guitar, which sets the beat and suddenly starts swinging.
The excerpts from the "15 preludi per Pianoforte" form the enchanting prelude - flute and guitar in dialogue, dancing on the high wire -, followed by a musical bouquet in all its colourful facets until the concluding "Notti di Cabiria"; here the duo casually lives out its jazz affinity and harmoniously rounds off the homage.

Eos Guitar Quartet - El alma de Paco

A Tribute to Paco de Lucía
On the seventh anniversary of his death, the Spanish master guitarist Paco de Lucía is the focus of the Eos Guitar Quartet’s new CD. For the four musicians, his music, his innovative power and not least their personal contact with him were a constant source of inspiration.
As an expression of this great admiration, the Eos Guitar Quartet asked the three composers, Leo Brouwer, John McLaughlin and José Antonio Rodríguez, to compose works for the ensemble under the motto «Tribute to Paco de Lucía». The results are an outstanding enrichment to the guitarquartet’s repertoire.
In the spirit of Paco, the Eos Guitar Quartet plays original compositions by Marcel Ege and David Sautter alongside three dances by Manuel de Falla. The voice of the legendary flamenco singer Carmen Linares and the subtle accompaniment of the percussionist Ricardo Espinosa add a special dimension to the CD.

Michael Winkler plays Francisco Tárrega

Michael Winkler plays Francisco Tárrega

 When I heard Francisco Tárrega's music for the first time as a teenager, I was immediately spellbound. I was in love with his melodies, his harmonies and the elegance of his waltzes. This music was a perfect match for the guitar and my attitude to life at that time. I played the pieces at every opportunity. They were, so to speak, "my" pieces. A few years later, I lost interest in this music and discovered the polyphony, the music of Dowland and Bach. For over 35 years Tárregas works remained untouched until I rediscovered them. 

In 2019, I felt the need to take up his compositions again, to rediscover the music and to venture a new interpretation with more mature point of view. It has not become a historically inspired recording. The guitar, built in 2018 by the German guitar builder Thomas Eichert, has a modern and clear sound and is far away from the dark sound of a Torres guitar like the one Tárrega used. I have interpreted many pieces more slenderly and rhythmically tighter than at that time, but I have also taken more time where necessary. In addition, I wanted to make this recording with na- tural acoustics. The beautiful surround sound of the chapel supported my joy of playing and stimulated my creati- vity. 

Here, I have recorded my favourite and at the same time the most important of his original compositions. Partly they are also only very short pieces which I still find just as charming as back then. I hope you feel the same way. Sincerely, Michael Winkler

"Dass Azcano ein Virtuose ist, der souverän über alle Möglichkeiten seines Instruments gebietet, tut zusammen mit der perfekten Produktion ein Übriges, um diese Top-CD nachhaltig zu empfehlen." Akustik Gitarre. Germany
