September 2020
I loved the stark simplicity of Mullov-Abbado’s The Linden Tree on the Hermes Experiment’s Here We Are (an Editor’s Choice in July), and there’s a similar sparse beauty to everything on this eclectic recital with his violinist mother, which encompasses Bach and Brazilian folk-songs as well as three of his own compositions – the Kreisler-ish Little Astronaut waltz is a gem. Their louche, jazz-inflected take on Schumann’s Träumerei won’t be everyone’s cup of tea, but it worked for me.
