Federspiel Smaragd - WWE20435 - World - par Col Legno - Smaragd Avsked Cadenzarium Basszus Trombitas

Federspiel appeared for the first time in Krems-an-der-Donau in 2004, when the eldest of the musicians had just turned 16.Twelve years and several hundred concerts later, they present theirfourth album: Smaragd. Six brass players and a clarinetist who havemoved seamlessly from the Lower Austrian Schneeberg region to theMetropolitan Museum, from local dance stories to Hans ChristianAndersen’s fairy tales, from the Dolomites to the Innviertel andfurther eastwards with a bang. Always on the hunt for points ofcontact between the world ... and the world. Or rather, between folkmusic and the music of the world. We hear unbridled joy in playingand youthful carelessness, in the best sense of the word, which canonly be careless because it knows what cares are. Krems is, by theway, where the famous winegrowing region of Wachau begins. There inits vineyard terraces you o en come across the green lizard whosename the vintners have given to their best wines: "Smaragd" -emerald.
