George Tyriard & Veronique De Raedemaeker – Malinconia

This uncompressed, recording has been highly praised for its "richness of sound and instinctively beautiful phrasing" and was awarded the "Choice of Klara" label by the Flemish classical music radio station in 2020.  "It's as if the musicians are standing right in front of you in your living room."  This CD is an absolute treat for classical music fans. With the famous Prokofiev violin sonata No. 1  in F minor, comes an amazing set of works for solo violin by the Belgian composer Eugene Ysaÿe (Sonata nr. 2 in A minor).

These two amazing performers blend their passion and talent together with a rich sensuality and sensitivity for the works of the composers, life and the essence of music itself.

About this Recording:

Recorded over several days, spread across three different locations (to ensure the absolute best possible acoustics match for each piece) this recording uses no compression, bringing the full dynamics of the actual performance.

The microphones (AKG C414 and Audio-Technica, various models) were fed directly into a Roland R88 recorder, without pre-amplifiers or other noise generating devices. Using the highest grade of microphone cables available, nothing has been spared in bringing the amazing performances to life in recorded format.
