Nils Bo Davidsen & Simon Toldam - Fyrtårn (2023) [Hi-Res]

Cello and piano has a long story together. With their spontaneous music, Fyrtårn (Lighthouse) presents a different angle on the combination of these two highly interwoven instruments, and challenge the sonic possibilities that exist in this format.

The music played in Fyrtårn is spontaneous compositions based on common thorough sonic researches, illuminated by playfulness and hyper musical communication. Nils Bo Davidsen and Simon Toldam breathe as one when they dive into a music placed in the intersection between contemporary classical music and improvised music. Like two artists painting on the same canvas
