The album title, 'New Colours of the Past', reflects Duo Aliada's fresh interpretation of classical works using saxophone and accordion.
Performer Biography
Duo Aliada, founded in 2013, quickly achieved success, including winning the Grand Prix at the 12th Fidelio Chamber Music Competition in Vienna.
Interpretation
Duo Aliada, consisting of saxophonist Michał Knot and accordionist Bogdan Laketic, offers a new approach to classical music by reinterpreting well-known works.
Instruments
Due to their late invention, many renowned composers never had the opportunity to write specifically for the saxophone or accordion.
Recording & Production
This album was recorded in Immanuelskirche Wuppertal from March 24-26, 2015, with Manfred Schumacher as the sound engineer.
Instruments
The saxophone and accordion are relatively young instruments, both invented in the first half of the 19th century.
Instruments
Despite their different appearances, the saxophone and accordion share the same principle of sound production: both use air to vibrate a reed.
