Le nozze di Figaro opens with one of the most brilliant overtures in classical music, restless, witty, and full of anticipation. In this arrangement for two violins, we move away from the orchestral sound and reduce the piece to its most essential voices. The richly multi-voiced structure is condensed into just two instruments.

The result is a chamber-like dialogue, agile, transparent, and intensely alive. Without the weight of the orchestra, every gesture, accent, and breath becomes audible, revealing the playful tension and refined structure that Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart built into the music.

Our interpretation moves between precision and spontaneity, capturing the theatrical energy of the overture while allowing moments of intimacy and surprise to emerge between the two instruments.

What do Vivaldi and Piazzolla have in common? How do the “Four Seasons” react when they are combined and equally interspersed with tangos? The Twiolins—unstoppable by any genre boundary—have taken on these questions and, with a nod to Gidon Kremer, created their very own, brand-new “Eight Seasons”:

Spring is completely dedicated to angels, dying and resurrecting; Summer experiences melancholy and mysticism; in Autumn, the hunting horns are brought to a halt by a Hora Zero; and in Winter, one longs to dance the tango, back in the South…

It was quite an adventure that The Twiolins embarked upon with the arrangement of the Four Seasons and Piazzolla’s tangos, but days and nights spent over the sheet music unleashed unprecedented creativity. Both Vivaldi and Piazzolla have undergone a transformation and reveal new facets in this chamber music version—facets that these great masterpieces of world literature have never shown before. This project takes the listener on a musical journey through two centuries and hemispheres, eliminating the boundaries between continents, musical genres, and traditions without ever compromising their essence.

Vivaldi’s Four Seasons juxtaposed with eleven contrasting tangos by Astor Piazzolla—with The Twiolins’ “Eight Seasons,” you are invited to enjoy Vivaldi’s virtuoso masterpiece and let yourself be captivated by Argentine longing and passion.

Eight Seasons Evolution was awarded the Silver Medal at the 2021 Global Music Awards.

SECRET PLACES is a hypnotic journey to the core of your soul, a musical picture book that lures the listener to the very depths of his or her powers of imagination. The works sketch unique contours with what seem like melodic brush strokes – each bar a step into unknown territory. Pulsating, fragile, poignant, wild too, dancing and full of joie de vivre.
All of the compositions are recorded for the first time in this form on CD and all but “Hammers” by Nils Frahm were written for the Progressive Classical Music Award 2015.

With their album SUNFIRE, the Twiolins not only thrill into musical parallel worlds, but push the emotions of the audience to extremes, torn between bewitchingly beautiful sounds and rhythmically pulsating structures.

A sunrise, from the timid dawning to the glittering flare of light on the horizon – with this expressive sound fantasy the journey begins on eight strings. Under shrill steam clouds, an old railway sets in motion and takes the audience into the beauty of idyllic forests. The two siblings indulge in the gentle and soft sounds of longing melodies and it could not be more beautiful – until suddenly a cheeky fly pops up …

SUNFIRE – the 2nd album by The Twiolins. Award winning compositions from the Progressive Classical Music Awards 2012 and more.

VIRTUOSO is the debut album of the Twiolins – it presents the winning pieces of the first Progressive Classical Music Awards, initiated by the Twiolins in 2009, which invited composers around the world to write new works for two violins. Compositions from all over the world were submitted and the music on this album is as diverse as the composers’ countries of origin. First the two violins race on the motorway, then a fever of passion attacks them, fairy tales are told, the wind plays and dreams and a pas de deux is danced in a jazzy way…
