If you’ve never had the pleasure of seeing Chilly Gonzales & Kaiser Quartett LIVE , watch them perform “Sweet Burden” and “Advantage Points” from Chambers, and “The Grudge” from the Ivory Tower album, at the prestigious Berlin Konzerthaus here: http://tinyurl.com/mckmh3m

The composition of Chambers was inspired by Chilly Gonzales’ deepening relationship with Hamburg's Kaiser Quartett. The album re-imagines Romantic-era chamber music as today's addictive pop, using the strings as a modern-day sampler. 

To guide fans into his Chambers, Gonzo introduces each song with short note of intention and a dedication, here is “Sweet Burden”:
“SWEET BURDEN”

Dedicated to Gabriel Faure 

My Solo Piano song (and label) Gentle Threat is one of many contradictory titles in my repertoire.  Sweet Burden is the album's first bona fide tear jerker. A long, ambiguous melody inspired by French composer Gabriel Faure. The viola solo is slowly joined by the cello, while the violins chime in with a single-note pattern.  We all have our burdens to bear, and maybe only music can sweeten them.
