•In this quartet the baroque cello and the guitar form a harmonious base upon which the voice and saxophone unfold. Both take up the melodies alone and together, the sax breaks free and improvises with John Dowland's wonderful music. The cello too gives an impressive rendering of its singing possibilities. Between the singing there are four fragments for solo guitar by the English expressionist Reginald Smith-Brindle, which create a harmonious bridge between the individual songs.

Founded in 1900, the Stuttgart Hymnus Boys' Choir is the city's oldest and largest boys' choir and, hence, an important part of musical youth education and promotion in Stuttgart. Every week, the 200 boys and young men between the ages of five and around 25 receive musical training and rehearse for their many concert engagements and church services around the Stuttgart region and all over Europe. In recent years, they have conducted sold-out concert tours through Denmark, France, Spain and Switzerland as well as to Berlin, Hanover and Leipzig. In spring 2014, they visited the United States, where they toured along the East Coast with concerts in Philadelphia, New York, Burlington (VT), Middlebury (VT) and Boston. In 2016, they visited England and Wales, performing in Oxford, Cardiff, London, Croydon and Gloucester. On this release, they perform alongside the Gachinger Kantorei and the Windsbacher Knabenchor to present the very best sacred chorals in the Western music tradition.

This CD has at last given me the opportunity to record my favourite encore pieces. After concerts, friends have often asked me to do so and it is with great pleasure that I now meet their request. 'Liebesfreud, Liebesleid' (the joy and pain of love) is dedicated to the music, the daily involvement with the cello and the personal relationships in my life. I have dedicated several works on this CD to certain people. The recordings bring back memories of my wonderful concerts and moments as a musician. -Michael Hell.
