Rembrandt Frerichs Trio - Intizar '2023

Tracks list

The adventurous Rembrandt Trio releases a third album on which they collaborate
with an Iranian musician; this time they push their musical boundaries with
vocalist Mohammad Motamedi. Born out of a special friendship, improvisation is
the guiding principle.
 
Motamedi, a celebrated singer in Iran, is a masterful improviser and has a head
full of Iranian 
poetry - he gets inspired by the mood of the music and then chooses a poem to
improvise freely over it. This album contains pieces that fit the more
spiritual, traditional Persian repertoire, with texts by Hafez and others, as
well as a number of more worldly songs on which the trio is joined by violin,
cello and clarinet. 
 
Recorded in hi-res audio in a former church, the tracks have a crisp and
lifelike quality. Motamed’s unrivaled vocals are matched with rare
instrumentation; Rembrandt Frerichs plays old church organs and antique
fortepianos, Planjer a whisperkit and Overwater a violone. The collaboration
between the Rembrandt Trio and Motamedi becomes an adventurous journey through
the colorful Persian musical landscape, where musicians from different
continents find a shared language in music and improvisation.
