The album duo tweets is an anthology of „bird pieces“ for recorder and harpsichord. The fine and diverse selection of baroque chamber music is rounded up nicely by Lajos Dudás‘ fresh jazz composition „Der Vogeltanz-Blues“.

Der Vogeltanz-Blues

Dagmar Wilgo is known as a recorder virtuoso. With her latest, third CD in the triad "me, myself & i" on TIMEZONE RECORDS, she makes a strong statement for the music world. She surprises us again with the future music she elicits from recorders. Their release concert is on May 7th, 2022. Recorders are a more or less traumatic childhood episode for many. For the musician, they are her life's work, to which she has dedicated herself body and soul. Always looking for outrageous sounds. Self-confident and creative as she is, Dagmar Wilgo explores all facets of the recorder. She was able to persuade seven well-known composers and companions to dedicate solo pieces to her for her project. In the album, these are combined into a contemporary improvisational firework - with exciting crossovers between genres and styles, analog and digital. Her recorders sound so confidently systemically relevant and completely attuned to the 21st century. You can literally hear the recorders cheering about their liberation from the niche as unicorns on the music market.

Dagmar Wilgo fell in love with recorder when she was a child. Studying  "historical instruments, musicology and avant-garde", she has been involved in new and contemporary music for many years. She works with composers such as the jazz clarinetist Lajos Dudás, Hans-Martin Linde, Georg Heike and Matthias Heep. She is considered as  “an outstanding musician, very dedicated with a very broad intellectual profile and strong artistic capacities”, according to Bart Spanhove, author and artistic director of Flanders Recorder Quartet. Her love belongs to contemporary music. With “me, myself & i“ she produced an album full of stylistic surprises. This concept is based on an interdisciplinary connection with other art genres, on the one hand in the form of the poem “What it is” by the Jewish poet Erich Fried and on the other the watercolor with ink “Monoceros Emporia” 12/2019 by Paul Morris - Pollux, which adorns the cover and makes “me, myself & i” what it is. Nevertheless Dagmar Wilgo is the founder of the duo “IL PRIMO DOLCIMELO” with harpsichordist Natalia Spehl. Both are committed to the “sensual interpretation of early music based on musicological analysis“. In addition, Dagmar Wilgo gives master classes and workshops worldwide. She lives in Germany.
