In April 2014, music journalist Anil Prasad was sitting in composer Stephan Thelen’s Zürich flat listening to a demo of his first string quartet titled “World Dialogue.” As a longtime admirer of his work with Sonar, Prasad was fascinated by how Thelen combined his minimalist groove compositional approach with the mercurial nuances only a string quartet is capable of exploring.

These world premiere recordings of works by award-winning composer David Gompper reflect his recent interest in the concerto, as well as his evolution of approach through increasing complexity in time and space, textural landscape and narrative detail. The ‘Double Concerto Dialogue’ covers moods from lyrical to argumentative and inconsequential chatter to deeper reflection, while the ‘Clarinet Concerto’ relates to the energy and skill of the Parkour runner.

The performance at the "Panorama Music Festival" in the Italian Dolomites was the starting signal for the progressive intertwining of two paths in life that have a great common denominator: the love of jazz as the epitome of a symbiosis of freedom, sophistication and lively interaction.

"Dialogue" is the first album of the interactive trio of composer and pianist Pieternel van Oers. Together with double bass player Tommaso Montagnani and drummer Nicolas Signat, Pieternel writes music with a very evocative and sensitive breath that captivates. A lyrical jazz at the crossroads of her multiple influences, somewhere between Chopin and Richie Beirach.
