Led by nyckelharpa virtuoso Marco Ambrosini – first heard on ECM with
Rolf Lislevand – Ensemble Supersonus applies its unique instrumental
blend, capped by the otherworldly overtone singing of Anna-Maria Hefele,
to very wide-ranging repertoire. Building bridges between cultures and
traditions,
Resonances sets compositions by Biber, Frescobaldi
and Hildegard von Bingen next to Swedish folk music, Ottoman court
music, and original pieces by the band members. Three pieces – “Ananada
Rasa”, “Fjordene”, “Ritus” come from the pen of Wolf Janscha, the
ensemble’s jew’s harp specialist. Ambrosini’s nyckleharpa solo “Fuga
Xylocopae” opens the programme, leading on to a fresh and sparkling
account of Heinrich Ignaz Franz Biber’s
”Rosary Sonata No. 1”. All of
Ensemble Supersonus contribute to the spirited arrangements of the
music.
