This album is the second recording by the Samodai-Szives Duo that is dedicated to the colorful and innovative style of László Dubrovay. The members of the duo have been working with the composer for many years to master new techniques and musical challenges he set up for the new generations of musicians. On this album, they have teamed up with two guest musicians and recorded pieces that had never been captured in these forms.
Three Movements is one of a kind piece: it is one of the most difficult pieces for a trumpet-percussion duo, and demands extra versatility from both players. Regardless, this is the second recording of the piece from the duo.
Solo No. 15/B is a virtuoso and vibrant marimba piece written for Márton Szives, where he can show the ever-changing sound of the marimba.
Lament is again written for Szives, and originated from Solo 15/B’s second movement; both the musician and the composer thought that this movement can live even on a vibraphone.
Solo No. 11 is the world’s most challenging trumpet solo with techniques unique only to Dubrovay’s style.
Sei Duo is a violin-percussion piece with perky little movements. It had been recorded previously only once, but never with the direction of the composer himself.
Valse Triste et Tres Vite is originally a virtuoso piece for harp and trumpet, and besides its original recording, it has never been archived again or with a piano.
