INFORMATION
“Melodies of Love and Death”, “Opera Senza Parole”... what remains of the famous arias if the singers hand over their notes to their colleagues the instrumentalists? Opera is theatre, drama, driven by stories, action, the turbulent emotions of people: the passion of lovers, the vengeance of enemies. Can a violin make love to a cello? Can a Piano take vengeance on strings? But, then, there is a reason the great composers are immortal. Their melodies, harmonies and rhythms transcend the concrete fact of the plot and lend to the drama in words the abstraction of the primal themes of human existence as it turns inexorably toward pitiful failure. And we listeners can’t get enough of it! We want to hear all these melodies time and again, and through them, experience what the unfortunate opera personages experience. We want to share in the passion of Love, tremble before the terrors of Death. All too often, we hardly know what an aria is literally about, and, strangely enough, we are often content to understand little or nothing of all the lyrical words, whether they are simple doggerel or poetry of the highest literary quality—the music tells the whole story!" (arranger Bob Zimmerman in the linernotes of this cd)

PRESS REVIEWS
"Het resultaat is een cd vol sentiment en pathos, vaak uiterst zangerig, zoals een opera betaamt. En daarbij zo direct opgenomen dat de cello zijn woordenloze boodschap sensueel in je oor lijkt te fluisteren." Akkoord Magazine - Aug-Sept
"The result is a CD full of sentiment and pathos, often very melodious, as it befits an opera. The recording is very direct and in that way the cello seems to sensually whisper its wordless message in your ear." Akkoord Magazine - Aug-Sept
" De essentie van de aria's worden intens en met een goede dosering vertolkt."
WZ, mania klassiek 17 augustus 2011
"The essence of the arias are intense and played with a good dose."
WZ, mania klassiek 17 augustus 2011
"Eindoordeel is dat het een aantrekkelijke cd is geworden voor luisteraars die eens iets anders willen dan het traditionele repertoire en een uurtje willen zwelgen in prachtige, bekende operamelodieën."
Marjolijn Sengers, Luister, september/oktober 2011
"All things put together we can conclude that this is an attractive CD for listeners who want something different than the traditional repertoire and want to wallow for an hour in beautiful, famous opera melodies."
Marjolijn Sengers, Luister, September/October 2011
we willen onze nationale geest van een thuisland van het hart, voor de territoriale grenzen in de muziek terug te winnen. Op het personeel verzetten tegen de fossielen van onze smaak voor het open melodie, nooit saai voor eenvoud, voor de gepassioneerde retoriek getint met ap beurzen aspiraties
Elide Bergamaschi, Cittadino, december 2011
we like to regain our national spirit of a homeland of the heart, before the territorial boundaries in music. On the staff resist the fossils of our taste for the open melody, never dull for simplicity, for the passionate rhetoric tinged with ap fairs aspirations.
Elide Bergamaschi, Cittadino, December 2011
ci fa piacere ritrovare il nostro spirito nazionale di una patria del cuore, prima che dei confini territoriali nella musica. Sul pentagramma resistono i fossili del nostro gusto per l’aperto melodiare, per una semplicità mai banale, per l’ap passionata retorica intinta di fiere aspirazioni.
