Constaninescu stands out among the composers who followed George Enescu into the Romanian musical limelight during the first half of the 20th century. On the one hand, through his diverse oeuvre, which encompasses almost all of the genres from chamber music to film music, and on the other hand, through his own musical language, consisting of great colour and harmonic variety. Skilfully adapted ecclesiastic Byzantine modes and chants, modal scales, and the authentic and fascinating melodies of Romanian folk music merge with Constaninescu's oeuvre, which stands balanced somewhere between Western tradition and a national musical idiom.

The "Brahms Festival" was the beginning of the anniversary season 2021/22, which the Cappella Aquileia gifted its audience and itself for its 10th anniversary. All four symphonies as well as two piano concertos by Johannes Brahms were heard. The highlight of the festival is on this recording: Brahms’ 1st Symphony conducted by Marcus Bosch in a brilliant live recording.

The trumpet at the movies *Move *– the name of this album – is also the title of a concerto written by Baptiste Trotignon and here receiving its recording premiere; the work pays tribute to major composers of film music, whose iconic scores form the backdrop in this “audiofilm” starring the trumpet of Romain Leleu.
