The Goeyvaerts String Trio has recorded a pioneering new album with work of Arvo Pärt and Ivan Moody. The CD could even cause quite a stir, but the prediction is mainly that this music and the way it is performed and recorded will enchant a lot of music lovers!

 The Goeyvaerts String Trio employs just intonation for the  Arvo Pärt's Stabat Mater, although equal temperament* is the most commonly known and used. In the CD booklet author Philippe Grisar explains: "The decision to play the work in this way stemmed from a certain degree of uneasiness during the initial rehearsals. The ostensible simplicity of the score should not have posed any problems for these experienced interpreters. However, it rapidly became clear that the harmonic shifts and plangent harmonies that are intrinsic to Pärt's music seemed to be beyond taming. Previous performances had dealt with this 'noise' by using vibrato, which broadens the tuning of the strings. The sound palette generated by this is lyrical, without sounding too pinched. It makes me think of my own experience with the icon, whose beauty touches me even though I find the golden, jewel-encrusted frame to be too distracting. The Goeyvaerts String Trio was looking for a sober depth, with no vibrato. The Stabat Mater is not an icon surrounded by jewels. It is an expression of suffering and solace. Just intonation seemed to be the optimum solution. Surprisingly enough, the effect is not one of a strict recitation of notes; what unfolds is an opulence of sound that immediately carries the listener along. This performance of the Stabat Mater reveals something that cannot be put into words, and this may explain its intense beauty."

The Goeyvaerts Trio will give a tour of release concerts together with the great singers Barnabás Hegyi (counter-tenor) Zsuzsi Tóth (soprano) and Olivier Berten (baritone). We hope to see and meet you there!

*The standard today is equal temperament, in which the pitches are distributed proportionately so that all twelve of them are at 'equal' wavelengths from one another (a note's exact pitch is thus arbitrary).
Pure intonation is an early form of tuning. Intervals are distributed unevenly but 'purely' across the octave based on natural overtones (e.g. from C to C is a wave frequency ratio of 2:1)

Goeyvaerts String Trio: Stabat Mater of Pärt - pioneering recording in just intonation!

Cappella Mariana prepared a new co-production project within the framework of the Czech Presidency of the European Union. The key to this project is the collaboration between Czech and Belgian artists, connecting the old and new worlds, styles and genres and continuing the rich cultural exchange between the two countries in recent centuries. For this occasion, one of the most important living Czech composers, Martin Smolka, will write a new work and add a timeless dimension to the project.

Cappella Mariana připravila nový koprodukční projekt v rámci českého předsednictví v Evropské Unii. Klíčem tohoto projektu je spolupráce mezi českými a belgickými umělci, propojující starý a nový svět, styly a žánry a pokračující v bohaté kulturní výměně mezi oběma zeměmi v posledních staletích. Pro tuto příležitost napíše jeden z nejvýznamnějších žijících českých skladatelů Martin Smolka nové dílo a dodá projektu nadčasový rozměr.
