Entendre (Blu Ray Audio & CD)

Description

In an extraordinary example of Sono Luminus' committment to unearthing neotoric and intriguing talent, duoW is the blockbuster team featured on their debut release, Entendre. duoW presents five highly virtuosic works that challenge and redefine the limits and capabilities of the violin and cello partnership, and transport the listener through time, allowing them a glimpse into each composer's world. The ingenuity of these composers evidences itself in the avant-garde techniques contained throughout these compositions, and by their brilliant and often humorous allusions to the vernacular and popular culture of their respective eras. The listener will hear tunes such as 'Yankee Doodle,' 'God Save the Queen,' 'The Stars and Stripes Forever,' Handel's ever-present G minor Passacaglia, and will recognize borrowed elements from the folk and jazz idioms.
