Duo Voice² - Sehnsucht - Lieder neu erzählt für Sopran und Viola da gamba
Songs of the 17th and 18th centuries tell of love, longing, comfort, and hope.
In an extraordinary ensemble for soprano and viola da gamba, DuoVoice² brings this music to life anew.
Soprano Theresa Steinbach and gambist Jakob Rattinger dedicate themselves, with DuoVoice², to an exceptional form of musical dialogue. In their programs, they combine songs from the 17th and 18th centuries with virtuoso instrumental works to create a mood-filled musical narrative.
Few instruments come as close to the human voice as the viola da gamba. In DuoVoice²'s concerts, two voices meet on equal terms: the voice of the human and the voice of the viola da gamba. Together, they tell tales of love and longing, of joy, comfort, and hope—timeless stories that continue to resonate today.
This does not result in historical museum images, but rather in vibrant concerts full of closeness and immediacy. The voice and viola da gamba enter into a dialogue, alternating between intimate conversation and virtuoso competition, unfolding a sound world of special warmth and depth.
With their own arrangements, DuoVoice² uncovers well-known and hidden treasures of the European song repertoire anew. Thus, an extraordinary concert form emerges that delights both connoisseurs of early music and listeners who discover this music for the first time.
A concert by DuoVoice² is an invitation to experience the dialogue of two voices—the human voice and the voice of the viola da gamba.
