Description
Either as part of their collaboration or as soloists, Flutist Claudio Ferrarini and Harp-virtuoso Floraleda Sacchi have already juxtaposed classical compositions with contemporary works by Ravi Shankar and Philip Glass.
Ferrarini and Sacchi’s third duo-album now takes listeners on a riveting trip through eighteen musical settings of the „Ave Maria“ from the late 16th century up until the 1970s.
Due to their purely instrumental line-up, recording an album of musical prayers without being able to feature the actual text naturally proved particularly challenging. In the end, however, it actually served to reinforce the underlying message: „The loss of words strengthens the aim of this music and makes it even more evident: To bring man closer to the divine.“
