Peaks ピークス 8月 2021

In the heart of the Tibetan highlands, photographer Vincent Munier brings writer Sylvain Tesson on his quest to find the snow leopard. He introduces him to the subtle art of waiting from a blind spot, tracking animals and finding the patience to catch sight of the beasts. Through their journey in the Tibetan peaks, inhabited by invisible presences, the two men engage in a conversation on our place among the living beings and celebrate the beauty of the world.

First recording work of the duo Gabriele Mirabassi and Simone Zanchini. Disco fun, brilliant, full of a thousand ideas and musical colors. Eight pieces, most of which written by the performers themselves, where the compelling dialogue between the two instruments, alternating atmospheres of popular flavor with other cultured ones, reaches peaks of pure lyricism. The one made up of Gabriele and Simone is a real duo: absolute mastery of their instrument, strong individual imprint, inexhaustible personal creativity, but great understanding and sense of general balance. An album strongly linked to the EGEA tradition, but which explores new and stimulating directions through the use of an absolutely original language.

Brahms was one of the first composers to write for pairs of violins, violas and cellos, blazing the trail for Dvořák, Tchaikovsky, Korngold and Schoenberg. His two sextets are early works, composed in 1860 and 1865 respectively. Brahms wrote to his publisher that the second was in ‘the same joyful vein’ as the first. Yet the composer’s life was sombre at this time: his mother died suddenly and his romantic relationship with the soprano Agathe von Siebold ended in failure; indeed, the first movement of the sextet opens with a viola motif on the notes A-G-A-D- B-E (AGADHE in German notation)
