"On this CD, viola da gamba and bandoneon meet each other: the seventeenth and twentieth centuries alternately tell their tales, each in its very own language and form, to ultimately communicate directly with one another in the musical language of the twentyfirst century, and to open new dimensions in a contemporary composition. Full of color and multifaceted opulence, openness and diversity, the Age of Passion shows in a beguilingly sensual way how convincingly, despite all the differences, the various musical languages mesh when it has to do with the age-old human issue: passion."
