Diabolicus - A Nos Amours - CD

Description

The fascinating programme of waltzes and other short pieces chosen for this recording by the chamber ensemble Diabolicus, musical director Dietrich Henschel, has been given the title “A Nos Amours”, and "endeavours to musically represent the full range of emotions that cover life from birth till death". Apart from the Wagner, the music is performed in transcriptions for chamber groups by Arnold Schoenberg and his circle of friends and pupils. Ambroisie, 2008.
