Chambermusic for flute & guitar

The duo ascolto was founded by flautist Susanne Wohlmacher and guitarist Carsten Linck in 1997. The rich treasure of original compositions for this instrumentation from different musical eras is being augmented by stylistically correct and sensitive arrangements. Their repertoire includes music of the Renaissance as well as numerous Baroque sonatas, serenades and salon music of the classic and early romantic era, and works of younger composers influenced by Latin-American folklore. Last but not least, duo ascolto’s interest encompasses contemporary music, which is especially close to their hearts as an expansion of the tonal spectrum and musical means of expression. The duo’s name is indicative of its program: “ascolto” means intensive listening to the hidden within the seemingly familiar, to the familiar within the seemingly foreign.
