Biography:
Duo Slaatto-Reinecke
Discovering and exploring since 1987 Helge Slaatto and Frank Reinecke entered new musical territory. The duo has built up a new repertoire for violin and double bass and developed their own signature in virtuosity and sound. Well-known contemporary composers have written for the duo, which is now a frequent guest at major New Music festivals. It gave concerts in Germany, Denmark, Norway, Italy, Austria, France, Greece, Armenia, Luxembourg and the USA.
"With a span of seven octaves, the two instruments have a remarkable sound space and countless dramatic effects, which are unfolded in the hands of Slaatto and Reinecke on a large scale." (Berlingske Tidende, Denmark)
