Synopsis

Album Description
In 1997, Roel Dieltiens gathered a group of internationally respected musicians with whom he worked on a scrupulous, in-depth, and fresh interpretation of lesser-known 19th-century repertoires: Ensemble Explorations. One of the ensemble's motivational forces has been to elude a musical approach determined by force of habit. In order to achieve their goal, the ensemble has sought to (re)discover and systematically investigate score materials, composers, and style periods. Within this philosophy, the use of period instruments has always been an obvious and natural choice. In the past decade, the ensemble has managed to restore important composers to their authentic environment, devoid of all dreary conventions.
 

CD Reviews

Magnificent
Dr. J. J. Kregarman | Denver, Colorado United States | 05/04/2010
(5 out of 5 stars)

"This is a most enjoyable CD. It's a joy to listen to it. The cello playing is first rate and the varied accompaniments delightful. The sound is first rate. It was worth every penny. The notes were my only problem. There was no explanation of why only 5 cello sonatas are included while the notes speak of 6 and why, with Sonata VII (RV44), there is an Organ improvisation for 2 and a guitar improvisation & the song "Tu bella ca lu tieni" for 4. Nevertheless this CD, as a CD, ranks as a favorite."
