Meditations & Laments is the stunning debut album by the Gaia Duo, an album rooted in both folklore and classicism that brings together music from the Baroque period to the present day, music that is both deeply thoughtful and emotionally visceral. Comprised of carefully selected pieces from the repertoire of music for 2 string instruments, the album is a journey through time that speaks of human nature, of the interplay between light and darkness and of an uninhibited, unending search for beauty.

Returning to well-known repertoire, the classicism of Haydn’s “Adagio” is belied by its gothic-like darkness, the sense of which is deepened by the appearance of Jordan’s rich, full-bodied viola. Curzon’s extraordinary lyricism is showcased here as she amplifies Haydn’s melodic flare.
