Love!

Love! is all about love. About love in the period from the 17th century to the twenty-first, via Russia, the Czech Republic, the Netherlands and Germany, to England and the United States. About passionate love, motherly love, forbidden love and love lost. There is a love dance and much more. But Love! is also about us, about our love for music and the unique combination formed by our instruments. Because the orchestral possibilities and the specifically melancholy tone colour of the accordion form a magnificent blend with the scintillating and sonorous sound of the violin.

Second release on Challenge Classics by the unique duo made by accordeonist Marieke Hopman and violinist Cécile Huijnen. New, daring and exciting arrangements of famous and less-known classical works and jazz standards. New ideas on repertoire pieces, technical virtuosism, a wide range of atmosphere and emotions in this disc to be fully enjoyed from start to end.
