notes

Gideon Freudmann and Mark Herschler have recently joined together forming a duo called BROQUE where they combine their musical talents on cello and guitar respectively. For Freudmann and Herschler, the repertoire of Johannes Sebastian Bach is fair game for the field of musical experimentation, melding Bach's compositions with decidedly risky improvisations.

They stretch and reinterpret Classical styles, altering the form and using it as inspiration for new original pieces. BROQUE's original compositions are at once somber and spellbinding; with Herschler's detailed guitar work providing an aural ladder while Freudmann climbs each step with cool precision. Their debut CD, entitled Dancing On My Hat, highlights these stunning juxtapositions.

Both experienced improvisors in the own right, they perform a mixture of Bach's Inventions, Blues-inspired musical dialogs and their own magical improvisations.They bring to their work influences including Classical, Blues, Jazz, British Pop and Flamenco.

BROQUE's inventiveness is bridging the gap between Baroque and Modern composition. BROQUE projects an air of musicians who have accepted their mission of modernizing the music they love. They offer ingenious programming and superb musicianship that truly breaks new ground. Herschler and Freudmann are innovators to the core, exploring new and old forms with passion and finesse, engaging their listeners with an intoxicating musical spell.

  • Mixture of styles, all good
    author: John O'Connor

    Exceptional musicianship, a mixture of blues, jazz and classical, and the combination of guitar and cello is wonderful. A wonderful CD

  • A Masterpiece
    author: Margaret Nelson

    From first note to (deep breath) last, this CD is a treasure. Chock full of beautiful, infectious melodies and jaw-dropping musicianship, it never grows tiresome. If I had to choose just one CD to listen to for the rest of my life, it would be this one.

  • Excellent, anytime, anywhere.
    author: Larry Severance
