LARS DANIELSSON — Liberetto II (2014) 24-96Hz | FLAC (tracks), lossless

If music has no soul, it is nothing. For the master of harmony on bass and cello, its power lies in the melody; it is the seed, the energy center from which everything unfolds. There are surely only a few bassists on this planet who compose so sensitively and in the truest sense of the word "beautiful," only a few who arrange with such impeccable taste. The masterfully assembled Liberetto ensemble gives Lars Danielsson the greatest freedom to express himself and create music that is, above all, a source of enjoyment. ACT
