Genious

"Estival Arvo" is the linguistic embodiment of summer: Estival is a Spanish or English word for "summery" and Arvo is the Australian term for "Afternoon". The album's first track "Tootle Around" opens as smooth as can be. With soft sounding shakers and some vintage sounds here and there, you'll find yourself in a time travel to a Spanish beach in 1979. Watch the Roller Girls pass on the promenade while listening to "Elegant Gentry". And go for your midnight stroll between palms and moonlight with "On The Go". Glint's debut album "Estival Arvo" is a wonderful blend of warm, velvety sounds and the right amount of vintage sounds. The simple but genious cover shows a new view on summer without a single cloud in the sky. So kind on the eye that you want to jump right into the picture…

"Around Gus" is a title full of eloquence: it is of course a tribute, but not an usual one: talent is more than necessary to salute Gus Viseur in one phrase: the Django Reinhardt of the Accordion. A little bit shy, Marcel Loeffler has realized an incredible album full of radiance, and poetry including not only Viseur's compositions but also original works. Marcel Loeffler has also lived the accordion return in Jazz, the famous "Jazz Musette" after a couple of years of purgatory. He has been one of the first musicians to bring it back to swing with his partners, his gypsy "family", the one of Biréli Lagrène, Mandino Reinhardt, Yorgui Loeffler among others. Interpreting Viseur with an incredible authority, the one of a peaceful genious, a great distiller of poetry, it is Marcel Loeffler trademark. Far away from the usual interpretation, devoid of soul and which used to combine the Accordion with submachines full of notes.

As most of the books say the early piano pieces of Schumann are considered to be the best part of his entire output. This CD presents the two less known cycles of miniatures written in 1838 (Novelletten) and 1839 (Humoresque). Novelletten were written almost at the same time with Kreisleriana and their character has a lot in common with that genious cycle. Humoresque is one more wonderful example of Florestan and Eusebius symbiosis. Both of the pieces are extremely emotional and bear a great deal of beautiful and heartfelt musical thoughts.
