PAS DE DEUX
Xenakis, Ravel, Honegger, Schulhoff & Halvorsen
Duo Guo-Lipstein
Linda Guo, violin
Manuel Lipstein, cello
Linda Guo and Manuel Lipstein make their duo debut on this new release. Titled Pas de deux, the programme features
five significant 20th-century compositions for violin and cello. Works by Xenakis, Ravel and Honegger reflect the
composers’ French roots, while a diverse, forward-looking harmonic language contrasts with such traditional forms as
the sonata and passacaglia, the latter in Norwegian Johan Halvorsen’s Passacaglia for Violin and Cello after Georg
Friedrich Händel; Austro-Czech composer Erwin Schulhoff’s Duo for Violin and Cello completes the programme.
Manuel Lipstein has already released his first solo album, Roots, on OehmsClassics.
