A little of the music that we are.
-- Nora Gubisch and Alain Altinoglu
After opening up frontiers with Ravel’s Greek and Hebrew songs in their last disc together, Nora Gubisch and Alain Altinoglu now give us a chance to hear an even more cosmopolitan world, guided by their mixed origins, their roots: “Our personal geography is pretty varied: I am of Armenian descent, while Nora possesses both Spanish and German ancestry.”
This warm recording includes a new recording of Berio’s Folk Songs, for which Nora Gubisch’s research on diction and the traditional sources (especially in Azerbaidjan) has been crucial.
