Lights off – CD player on: set off upon the phosphoresced traces that snails leave in the night. Razor-sharp string chords, oscillating sound images and groovy piano rhythms. This is how the Flex Ensemble begins its first GENUIN CD and Stephen Hartke's magnificent piano quartet – what a debut! Embark on a journey with the four exceptional musicians, through the darkness: virtuoso, strongly expressive, undaunted. Hartke, Piazzolla, Brahms – it is worth it to be curious about each and every piece!
