Album Notes

Alexei Aigui - violin
Dietmar Bonnen - piano



DIETMAR BONNEN:
We met Alexei Aigui in Moscow. We gave a concert there and after the concert we met. The end of the tour was again in Moscow. So we said: "Let's do one song together". We did it and stayed in contact from this time on. We were one or two times a year in Russia on tour with different projects and every time when we are in Moscow we work together. Alexei is married now in Paris. And he is half a year in France. So it's much easier to work.
He has his in Russia very famous ensemble, it's called Ensemble 4:34, after the Cage piece. They do only Alexei Aigui music. This working on compositions of other composers is not his normal work. So I bring something and say: "What about this?" And he says: "Oh, not so interesting for me". Or he says: "Oh, I like it very much, let's do it."
