Composer's Artistic Vision
Swedish composer David Lampel's works on this album embody his idea that "music can be heard before it starts, and continues after the last note."
Compositional Technique
David Lampel's Violin Sonata uses an arch form, a structure favored by Béla Bartók, where musical material from the outer movements reappears in inverted form.
Composition History
All the works on this album were composed for or dedicated to the specific musicians performing them on this recording.
Composition History
The subtitle 'Homage to Bach' for David Lampel's Prelude and Chaconne came from the composer's unconscious discovery of the B.A.C.H. motif transposed throughout the piece.
Compositional Technique
David Lampel's Piano Sonata is described as a "game of hide-and-seek with the classical form," blending elements of Rondo and sonata form.
Compositional Technique
The String Sextet by David Lampel replaces the traditional second cello with a double-bass, giving it a "particularly profound and sombre colour."
Composer Biography
David Lampel, the composer, divides his musical activities mainly between France and Sweden, where he founded a Franco-Swedish music festival.
