Antoinette Lohmann & Rembrandt Frerichs

In the violin sonatas of Dario Castello, Biagio Marini, Marco Uccelini, and Pandolfi Mealli, you never know what is about to happen. Tempos shift, lines break off, and ornaments emerge on the spot. The score is not a final result but a starting point for capricious music that irresistibly carves its way through the silence. Violinist Antoinette Lohmann and master improviser Rembrandt Frerichs do not simply play what’s written, but play with the music put before them, giving a voice to the present and the past.
