Spirit Of Harmony / Various Spirit Of Harmony / Various CD

The Avalokite Duo possess a unique sound due to the changing timbres of it's countless percussion instruments, combined with the characteristic sounds of the harp. This program joins their album The Spirit of Sound (CDS7804), and is the result of this duo's challenge to contemporary composers to make use of their virtuoso skill in making new sonic discoveries. This expansion of the duo's repertoire ranges from the playful brilliance of Silvia Bianchera's Apag? to the poignant introspectiveness of Maria Grazia Armaleo's Preludio and Tanghetto. Middle Eastern experiences can be heard in Annie Fontana's Appunti di Viaggio, while Angelo Bruzzese's Capriccio reveals subtle echoes, in this album of distinctive premiere recordings.
