about

The versatile, internationally acclaimed and multi-award winner cellist, Ditta Rohmann, is an authentic and passionate interpreter of J.S. Bach's music just as well works written by twentieth century and contemporary composers. She also often ventures into territories of other musical styles like jazz, or world music.

An excellent proof of this is the present duo, founded in 2014 with Szabolcs Szőke, Artisjus award winner composer and specialist of various Balkanic and oriental string instruments. The two artists are exploring entirely new sound possibilities by playing the cello, gadulka and sarangi - string instruments of completely different origin and distinct playing techniques giving Szabolcs Szőke's compositions a unique, individual taste.

During their performances free improvisation is also used by the two soloists as means of artistic expression. Sometimes the cello and Ditta's voice are accompanied by the magical harp, or the bell-like sounds of the array mbira, a radical redesign of the African mbira instrument.

It is no exaggeration to say that the duo's album Duetti, parallel, now released by Hunnia Records, unlocks the complete richness and beauty of the two strings.

about

Szabolcs Szőke Budapest, Hungary

Hungarian composer, gadulka, sarangi & kalimba player. A significant figure of the Hungarian ethno/world music scene. Born in 1948, Csongrád.
To this day, the gadulka has remained Szőke's most loyal instrumental companion, but he plays on a dozen more exotic instruments - from the Indian sarangi to the African mbira - both ethnic and chamber music, jazz and a unique fusion. ... more
