Descriptions, Reviews, &c.

"It is beyond question that most composers are inspired and driven by looking at the history of music. If it weren't for their predecessors, there would probably be no progress and this category, which in the course of Western music history has become as important as it is controversial, would be lost. Independently of that it can be maintained that music history has always been an issue and can be regarded as a continuous imaginary dialogue between composers. According to this, not only would every new composition be the anticipation of a future piece, but it would also change the interpretation of an already existing one: in music, the aesthetic present thus always refers to both the past and the future."Wolfgang Rathert, liner notes


Artist Biographies

"Nicola Romano, born in Lucerne, Switzerland, in 1974. From an early age, Nicola has developed a close association with chamber music, which has since become the centre of his musical orbits. For many years, he has performed concerts with Lucerne-based Dreilindenquartett as well as with the ONYX Quartet and the Basel String Quartet.Since 2004, Nicola has been a member of the "ensemble für neue musik zürich", which is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year. With "klangcombi", a quintet dedicated to innovative Swiss folk music, he has found the perfect musical paddling pool, in which he enjoys maximum stylistic freedom and openness. Together with LAUS and the Trabant Echo Orchestra, Nicola has been exploring and experimenting with musical arrangements which straddle the interface between serious and light music. Besides this, he has been busy giving concerts as part of various projects by the Swiss jazz and free improv scene. Nicola also teaches at the Uri School of Music (Musikschule Uri) and at Küsnacht High School (Kantonsschule Küsnacht)."
