Multiphonics: Anat Cohen - Quartetinho // Fie Schouten Trio featuring Guiseppe Doronzo

Anat Cohen - Quartetinho

GRAMMY-nominated clarinetist and composer Anat Cohen focuses on an intimate quartet sound on her latest record, the colorful Quartetinho.
The New York-based virtuoso's group is drawn entirely from the ranks of her GRAMMY-nominated tentet, consisting of bassist Tal Mashiach, pianist/accordionist Vitor Gonçalves and vibraphonist/percussionist James Shipp. The deep love of music in all its heterogeneity, which all the musicians share, is documented in detail on Quartetinho. The album contains compositions by Cohen, Mashiach and Shipp as well as material by the great masters Antonio Carlos Jobim, Egberto Gismonti and more. The result is boundlessly melodic and lyrical, with a wide range of timbres and subtle details of orchestration.

Fie Schouten Trio featuring Guiseppe Doronzo

The Dutch bass clarinettist Fie Schouten is professor of bass clarinet and contemporary music at the Prins Claus Conservatorium in Groningen. She is one of the outstanding international interpreters of the works of Karlheinz Stockhausen, as documented in numerous collaborations with Ensemble Musikfabrik, for example.
VOSTOK Remote Islands, the debut album of the trio Schouten, Courtois, Janssen (clarinets, cello, keys) is based on the bestseller "Atlas der abgelegenen Inseln" by Judith Schalansky. Each piece represents a separate island, which is explored carefully and improvisationally. As a listener, you become part of the journey of discovery. Schalansky writes about islands that she has never visited and probably never will. Imagination and research nevertheless give her access to distant worlds. The library, Schalansky's place of discovery of the unknown and the other, opens up fantastic possibilities for her that go far beyond the physical constraints of travel. Not with "colonialist zeal", she writes in the introduction, but with her "longing" she wants to take possession of the islands.
