The ENSEMBLE ESPERANZA is heading for new shores and embraces the works of American composers on its third album “Western Moods”, including Samuel Barber, George Gershwin and the New York based Daniel Schnyder from Switzerland. In part, these are even first recordings. The album will again be released under the label ARS Production, which only recently received an award at the International Classical Music Awards in the category “Label of the Year”. In this context we would like to thank Annette and Manfred Schumacher and the recording manager Martin Rust. The pictures created by photographer Nikolaj Lund on the occasion of the concert tour in September and October 2018 decorate the booklet of the new sound carrier. After an ICMA award for the debut album "Northern Suites" and the OPUS KLASSIK prize for the second recording "Southern Tunes", one can look forward to the response of the expert groups. From February 8, 2019, the new CD will be available at retailers, at Amazon and on Spotify, also at the upcoming VP Bank Classic Festival in Bad Ragaz, www.vpbankclassicfestival.com .
