In Limine

Overview

In Limine --- 2006

Multifold digipack with 42 pages booklet. Total: 70:00 René Samson was born in 1948, of Jewish-Surinamese origin and worked as a chemist the first half of his professional life. The composer Samson emerged only in the last ten years or so. The three extensive works on this CD - In limine (for mezzo-soprano, flute, violin, cello and piano), Elef lajla we-lajla (for violin and voice) and the Cellosonata – are evidence that his status as a composer has reached maturity by now. The song cycle in five movements In limine (“On the Threshold”) set to poems of Eugenio Montale (in Italian) fascinates from beginning to end, not in the last place due to the accessibility of his themes, which give the listener something to hold on to. Not only the composer, but also the listeners may count their blessings with performing musicians such as those at work on this CD.
