Die Welt von Gestern, Toon Fret and Veronika Iltchenko’s second album, alludes to the culture of well-to-do pre-war Europe, whose end was so dramatically captured in Stephan Zweig’s book of the same name. The pieces selected for this recording present a varied picture of 75 years of German and Austrian culture, including works by composers as stylistically different as Schumann, Reinecke, Karg-Elert and Zemlinsky. These compositions cover a wide timespan ranging from Schumann’s Drei Romanzen (1849), composed in a newly post-revolutionary Germany, to Niemann’s Aus einem alten Patrizierhaus (1933), written on the cusp of the darkest period in German history, which would mark the end of Zweig’s World of Yesterday. Toon and Veronika’s second album can be seen as a natural successor to their first CD, Le Temps retrouvé, which was devoted to the music of the French Belle Epoque and received warm praise from audiences and critics alike.

Toon Fret is a flute player with Oxalys (www.oxalys.be) and het Collectief (www.hetcollectief.be). Veronika Iltchenko has established a reputation as a performer both of Russian repertoire (e.g. Mussorgsky and Rachmaninov) and of works by modern and contemporary composers, including Debussy, Prokofiev and Ustvolskaya. Both are exceptional soloists who together form the perfect duet, sharing a passion for their respective instruments, a love of playing together, and the ability to kindle in the audiences the burning flame which inspires their performances.
