Christian Straube & David Kummer – Affinity

The outstanding beauty of the sound of Christian Straube’s Laplane guitar and David Kummer’s oboe, taragot and English horn in harmony with each other has already been conclusively proven by these two exceptional musicians. So the title piece “Affinity” can and should be understood as the “being companionship” of the two artists.
On their first joint Acoustic Music production, Breton sounds and harmonic turns of phrase are this time again unmistakable in Christian Straube’s works, which are skillfully picked up by David Kummer and developed further. Thus "Affinity” turned out to be an atmospheric instrumental album that takes the listener on an imaginative musical journey. In their work, these two classical-trained virtuosos always orient themselves towards the rounded form of simplicity and are committed to its beauty. It’s a lofty goal, one that these two masterful musicians translate into a fascinating musical language on “Affinity” through their sensuous dialogue.
