product description

Unaffected Intimacy of Fragile Beauty

Rarely heard in the concert hall, the combination of oboe and guitar owes its scarcity partly to the limited selection of original compositions for this instrumental pairing. However, what is unusual need not be unsuitable. The collaboration between Andrej Lebedev and Roswitha Maier lends the works on this recording a pleasant unobtrusiveness and an unaffected chamber music intimacy of delicate beauty, with a high degree of expression!

Founded in 1998, the Duo Sonore is committed to this musical style while also conveying the joy of vibrant music-making. The selected works for this CD, composed by relatively unknown classical and South American composers, offer ample opportunity for this. The compositions by Napoleon Coste and Tom Eastwood are originally written for this extraordinary ensemble. The other pieces, in their arrangements, represent German premiere recordings.

Roswitha Maier - Oboe was born in Stuttgart. After studying at the music conservatories in Stuttgart with Prof. Willy Schnell and Trossingen with Prof. Diethelm Jonas, she embarked on an active concert career in southern Germany and across Europe. She is a member of various orchestras and chamber music ensembles, including the Heilbronn Symphony Orchestra and the Süddeutsche Bläsersolisten.

Andrej Lebedev - Guitar was born in St. Petersburg and received his musical education at the renowned Gnesin Music Academy in Moscow and the Glinka Music School in Gorky as a student of Prof. A. Frauchi, one of Russia's leading guitarists and educators. He completed his soloist studies at the Stuttgart Music University under Ihsan Turnagoel. After numerous concert tours throughout the former Soviet Union and Eastern Europe, as well as television and radio appearances, Lebedev has in recent years focused more on chamber music, performing in various duo formations with oboe, flute, violin, and voice.
