Soveles

Soveles - in einem äußerst hörschönen Album präsentieren die Wiener Musikerinnen Isabel Frey und Esther Wratschko traditionelle jiddische Volkslieder - neu interpretiert und untermalt mit Chello und Electronics wird das Intimissimo der beiden Stimmen zu einer bewegenden musikalischen Reise durch Zeit, Kultur und Körper. (Klangue Records)

In this important and wonderful new recording, Isabel Frey and Esther Wratschko take a deep and profound dive into the archival world of women’s unaccompanied traditional Yiddish singing. They bring the songs effortlessly into the present, suffusing them with their own contemporary soundscape and sensibility, yet fully embracing the essence of traditional style. The synchronicity of their singing is extraordinary. Wratschko and Frey express the musical pulses and gestures, the ebb and flow of the songs as one. It is a sheer pleasure to hear two voices interwoven so seamlessly and so beautifully. (Ethel Raim, NYC)
