Eberhardt / Monet Quintett / Zoltan - Magma Music CD

Dorothee Eberhardt's fifth portrait album on GENUIN is made up of new and recent works for unusual instrument combinations. First-class ensembles and musicians such as the Monet Quintet, the Trio Tricolor (Korbinian Altenberger, violin, Christoph Eß, horn, and Boris Kusnezow, piano), Zoltán Kovács (clarinet) Axel Gremmelspacher (piano), and Catherina Lendle (violin) take part. In addition to the tremendous musical palette of the works, they are characterized by strong rhythms, especially in the form of rhythmic ostinati, in which Dorothee Eberhardt has reimagined Johann Sebastian Bach's ideas: "Extravaganza" is full of drive, "Magma" enchants with filigree and complex rhythmic meshes, and "Neon" virtually intensifies into a state of breathlessness.
