Info for Dusk to Dawn

Die wahre vox humana in Gestalt einer glockenreinen Sopranstimme, dazu die künstliche Nachahmerin derselben im harmonischen Zusammenklang mit all den Pfeifenwerken, der die Königin der Instrumente ihre Hoheit verdankt; komplexe Linien und Akkorde, zu Flächen gewirkt, worüber einfacher, liedhafter Gesang sich in Girlanden erhebt, um von ewigen Geheimnissen zu künden: So stellt sich die neue Produktion dar, mit der Carine Tinney und Martin Gregorius ihr PASCHENrecords-Debüt geben.

Komponisten aus den USA, England, Schottland, Frankreich und Deutschland begegnen sich in ihrem Streben, die verklärende Macht der Musik einzufangen, und manch einer überrascht dabei durch eine ungeahnte Intimität – als ob sich durch die Einfachheit der Mittel jeder geistige Ballast verloren hätte. Selbst Max Reger, der oft so schwierige, löst sich in zarter Poesie …

Die schottisch-maltesische Sopranistin Carine Tinney studierte Gesang in Edinburgh und Detmold. Als Solistin konzertierte sie in Europa, den USA und Asien mit Dirigenten wie Helmuth Rilling, Emmanuelle Haim und Jonathan Cohen. Der Konzertorganist und Kirchenmusiker Martin Gregorius schloss seine Studien an den Musikhochschulen in Danzig und Detmold sowie an den Konservatorien in Paris und Lyon mit Auszeichnung ab. Er ist Preisträger zahlreicher Orgelwettbewerbe in Österreich, Deutschland, Italien, Luxemburg und Polen. Gemeinsam widmen sich die beiden Musiker der Literatur für Sopran und Orgel, um insbesondere durch die Erkundung und Fortentwicklung dieses Repertoires eine eigene musikalische Sprache zu kultivieren.
