GWILYM SIMCOCK & YURI GOLOUBEV — Reverie At Schloss Elmau (2014) Duo Art Series | FLAC (tracks), lossless

"Reverie at Schloss Elmau" presents nine reveries oscillating between jazz and classical music, in an intimate dialogue played by two world-class musicians. With Gwilym Simcock and Yuri Goloubev, two musicians have found each other who think and feel in the same categories, even from their musical DNA. Both are united by the will to transfer their romantic-classical vein into the jazz context and so the joint sound journey on "Reverie at Schloss Elmau" was a logical consequence. ACT
