The novel Lux Nova Duo is already releasing its third CD with GENUIN. Lydia Schmidl, accordion, and Jorge Paz Verastegui, guitar, are joined this time by the Württemberg Chamber Orchestra under the direction of Eddie Mora and the soprano Marcia Lemke-Kern. The track list offers an exciting program comprised exclusively of world premiere recordings – all dedicated to the Duo Lux Nova, including works by guitar alto master Leo Brouwer as well as Sascha Lino Lemke, Eddie Mora, and Hector Docx. The CD's color palette is vast, ranging from Brouwer's Latin American colors to Mora's eclectic take on György Ligeti and Lemke's variations on the human breath to Hector Docx's Transfigurations, which plumbs the depths of silence.

"[...] an outstanding album of the highest repertoire value." Review by Harald Wittig, Oktober/November 2023 issue
klassik-festival.de
"Bei all diesen unterschiedlichen Kompositionstechniken und Poetiken kann das Lux Nova Duo seine enorme Vielseitigkeit demonstrieren, in innigen Dialogen, als klangliches Amalgam, im konzertierenden Wettstreit untereinander und im immer wieder neu ausgehandelten Verhältnis zum Orchester. " Review by Ecki Ramón Weber, September 30, 2023
American Record Guide
"This recording is an excellent example of two fine musicians broadening and deepening the repertoire for their instruments." Review by Jim McCutcheon, published in September/Oktober 2023 issue
MusicWeb International
"The recording quality is excellent and spacious, and all the instruments are well-balanced. The performances from all involved are superb, and the five works are a diverse collection." Review by Steven Watson on 3 September 2023

"Gemeinsam mit dem wunderbaren Württembergischen Kammerorchester Heilbronn gelingen dem Lux Nova Duo auf seinem exquisiten Album „Transcend“ virtuos interpretierte, intensive, klangvolle und melodische Momente. Ein Must-have, nicht nur für Klassikfans." Review from June 2, 2023

"[...] a fascinating journey of sound exploration. [...] In the intimate instrumentation of guitar and accordion, Brouwer's sound world comes into its own in a special way." Review from 3 November 2022
Musik an sich
"Eine voltenreiche Mischung zwischen großer Geste und Scherzo, Klangexperiment und Traditionsbezug also. Dabei stiftet Lux Nova Duo das klangliche Leitmotiv und bietet zusammen mit dem WKO spieltechnisch ausgefeilte sowie musikalisch stimmige Wiedergaben. Das Ganze wurde auch tonmeisterlich kontrast- und detailreich eingefangen." Review by Georg Henkel
Online Merker
"Das technische und musikalische Niveau der Aufnahme ist beachtlich. Dies gilt vor allem für die dynamische Balance und die bewegenden klanglichen Kontraste. Geballte und magische Klangwolken des Akkordeons hüllen den Hörer in sphärenhafter Weise ein." Read the whole review by Alexander Walther here on the website of Online Merker.
