Enchanted – Works for Cello & Piano

Description

Do you remember …
… the song at evening and the voice that lulled you to sleep when you were little? A lullaby brings a quiet close to the day, to hours which can be so new and exciting for a child! And if you sing a lullaby to a child yourself, it is a different, but just as emotional and intimate an experience. Both these experiences have inspired us in creating a song recital out of original instrumental works and arrangements. This programme reflects the most important human emotions. It could stand for one day in the life of a child or for the whole course of a life.

Music accompanies the most important moments in life. Even before birth, sounds play an important part in a baby’s development. Music therapy has a particularly beneficial influence on babies who arrive early, because its healing and calming effect has lasting consequences for the child’s continuing development.

We ourselves are convinced of the curative power of music. The present recording has been made in close partnership with the Foundation for Neonatology in Zurich.

As a child takes its first musical impressions from voice and song, we have made up a programme of songs in which our instruments sing the songs and tell the stories.
