LOVESONGS
in collaboration with Aqua Musica/Muziekgebouw aan ’t IJ
Gabriele Hasler-voice, Roger Hanschel-alto saxophone
This German duo performs a remarkable combination of improvisation and classical music with arrangements of love songs by the British Renaissance composer John Dowland (1563-1626). The ‘Love Songs’ have an appealing, unpretentious spirit. The contemporary variations of Hasler and Hanschel on Dowlands texts and compositions aim for a lively, relaxing and gentle atmosphere.
